About this episode

The episode explores how music is integral to the creation and storytelling of Middle-earth.

Music didn't just accompany the creation of Middle-earth — it *was* the creation. Jeff Haecker, Alix Murray, and Patrick Mason trace how song, horn, and verse shape everything from the Ainulindalë to the charge at Pelennor Fields. The post Music of the Legendarium appeared first on StarQuest Media .
