yES so probably most of these everyone already knows but anyway
tumblr musicians:
- Adele McAllister (btw you can buy some of her songs; I think my favourite is
I Sit Beside the Fire and Think)
- mythalll’s Lament for Boromir
- culumacilinte’s Tom Bombadil’s Song
- khyeili’s Dis’s lullaby
- really-saraleee’s Inudoy kurdulu
- asongofparody
youtube musicians:
- Eurielle (my favourite is Song of Durin)
- Karliene’s Lament for Boromir
- beriahim (really like his The Lay of Nimrodel but has more tolkien-based)
- friendryfire (has both original songs, songs based on Tolkien and covers of other songs translated to sindarin; really like their Singer on the Shore I think about Maglor?)
- Yolanda Mott
- Forest Elves’s Lullaby From a Distant Land (their original song in Quenya)
- Alex Hruban’s Feanor’s Lament loove the chorus of this one
- The Piano Guys – Arwen’s Vigil
Professional ones:
- Айрэ и Саруман / Aire & Saruman (basically all of their songs are either Tolkien or Robin Hobb based)
- Caprice (their Of Beren and Luthien is lovely, though I think they have more tolkien-based)
- Oonagh (songs Orome, Eldamar and Gäa)
- Хелависа / Melnitsa has a cover of May it Be in russian
and under name Хелависа / Hellawes has more Tolkien-based (Legolas’s Song to the Sea is really nice)- Bob Catley (his The End of Summer is about Galadriel)
- Lind Erebros (the whole album Elven Oratory, it’s mostly instrumental)
- Aonis (Fall of Gil-Galad to make yourself sad)
- Broceliande (Galadriel’s Lament to make yourself even sadder)
- The Hobbitons
- The Fellowship (some of their songs are on youtube)
- The Tolkien Ensemble (love their Galadriel’s Song of Eldamar)
- Blind Guardian is obvious but still great–
- Summoning’s In Hollow Halls Beneath The Fells (thanks to noteli for telling me about the band)
- Bttlelore has basically all songs based on Tolkien (really love their Fangorn; thanks to duresteintrepide for telling me about them)
- LotR musical’s songs are always great
- also in BBC’s Dramatization Bill Nighy (Sam’s voice) sung the lovely Song of Gil-Galad
definitely missed out a lot
