More Info:

The comlplete set of Paul Corfield Godfrey's Epic Scenes from The Silmarillion after the mythology of JRR TolkienThese settings for soloists, chorus and orchestra survey the whole mythology of J R R Tolkien's writings on the First Age of Middle-Earth and beyond, using the author's own words with the kind permission of the Tolkien Estate and HarperCollins Publishers. As such it is the largest scale musical work ever written using Tolkien's texts, and is designed for performance over five evenings: Feanor, Beren and Luthien, The Children of Hurin, The Fall of Gondolin and The War of WrathThe scores were written over a period of forty years from 1981 and 2021 and this first complete performance by singers from Welsh National Opera (with an orchestra prepared from live samples) was recorded over a period of six years from 2017 to 2023. All five parts of the cycle are here included, together with the complete assembled texts and a guide to The Silmarillion summarising the plot as adapted in the epic scenes themselves.
