Do you have any particular favorite settings of Tolkien or Tolkien-related songs? I have Donald Swann's book, for one example. I don't entirely like everything in it, but "Upon the Hearth" is fun and I once heard someone sing his arrangement of "Namarie" very impressively.
Jumping from art songs to the filk end of things, I rather like Ben Newman's version of Feanor's oath, "Three Bright Jewels (Feanor's Curse)" (lyrics and MP3 at the link).

Do you have any recommendations?
