About this Item

First edition. 4to. Original cream coloured paper covered boards. A fine copy with an ownership inscription on the front free-endpaper. Decorative borders throughout by Tolkien. A beautifully produced book, in which Donald Swann sets to music Tolkien's poems of Middle-Earth. Swann and Tolkien met at Priscilla Tolkien's home in May 1965, and Swann gave a private performance of his compositions for 'The Road Goes Ever On', 'Upon The Hearth The Fire Is Red', 'In The Willow-meads Of Tasarinan', 'In Western Lands', 'I Sit Beside The Fire' and 'Namarie'. Tolkien enjoyed the performance and Swann's company greatly, and after successful radio performances the scores were eventually published, with 'A Elbereth Gilthoniel' and 'Errantry' added in the meantime, and 'In Western Lands' discarded. Hammond B28B. Seller Inventory # 45804
