Описание: I love music (J.R.R. Tolkien)
Music plays a crucial role in Tolkiens mythology, and his tales contain many songs as well as mentions of musicians and instruments.
The present book edited by Julian Eilmann and Friedhelm Schneidewind is the successor to the well-received 2010 volume Music in Middle-earth, No. 20 of the Cormar Series, which drew the attention of Tolkien scholarship to the importance and nature of music in Tolkiens work. As the title of this volume suggests, Music in Tolkiens work and Beyond simultaneously follows the path of analyzing the use and significance of music and musical elements in Tolkiens literary texts while also considering the broader context, such as adaptations and other authors and composers.
The 21 articles feature a multitude of different academic approaches, e.g. musicological, philosophical or theological, which not only look at music itself but also at poetry, song and instruments and even the musicality of Tolkiens prose. The contributions are divided into five sections: Tolkien and Music, The Power of Music, Music of Different d104s and Characters, Instruments in Middle-earth und Music beyond Tolkien.
