Fanwork Prompt:
As their work drew to an end they allowed themselves more and more time for walking about, looking at the trees, and the flowers, and the lights and shapes, and the lie of the land. Sometimes they sang together; but Niggle found that he was now beginning to turn his eyes, more and more often, towards the Mountains. (Leaf by Niggle)

Fanwork Prompt:
I lay by waters once in a garden dim
Which could enfold
The stars in sleep, and where the golden day
In lovely image lay;
But laid all these away and took instead
This broken mirror and this world grown old,
And this unquiet darkness deep with dread,
To be my heritage.
(Mary Stewart, “Cain”)

...mariners and men forlorn upon the water who, by some fate or grace or favour of the Valar, had entered in upon the Straight Way and seen the face of the world sink below them, and so had come to the lamplit quays of Avallónë, or verily to the last beaches on the margin of Aman, and there had looked upon the White Mountain, dreadful and beautiful, before they died.

Fanwork Prompt:
There Bredhil the Blessed     the bluemantled,
the Lady of the heights     as lovely as the snow
in lights gleaming     of the legions of the stars,
the cold immortal     Queen of mountains,
too fair and terrible     too far and high
for mortal eyes,     in Manwë’s court
sat silently     as they sang to her.
(Lays of Beleriand, “The Flight of the Noldoli from Valinor”)

Fanwork Prompt:
Bright is the ring of words
When the right man rings them,
Fair the fall of songs
When the singer sings them.
Still they are carolled and said --
On wings they are carried --
After the singer is dead
And the maker buried.
(Robert Louis Stevenson)

Fanwork Prompt:
They stooped over the dark water. At first they could see nothing. Then slowly they saw the forms of the encircling mountains mirrored in a profound blue, and the peaks were like plumes of white flame above them; beyond there was a space of sky. There like jewels sunk in the deep shone glinting stars, though sunlight was in the sky above. Of their own stooping forms no shadow could be seen.

‘O Kheled-zâram fair and wonderful!’ said Gimli. ‘There lies the Crown of Durin till he wakes. Farewell!’ (The Fellowship of the Ring, “Lothlórien”)

Fanwork Prompt:
There came a time near dawn on the eve of spring, and Lúthien danced upon a green hill; and suddenly she began to sing. Keen, heart-piercing was her song as the song of the lark that rises from the gates of night and pours its voice among the dying stars, seeing the sun behind the walls of the world; and the song of Lúthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke, and flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had passed. (The Silmarillion, “Of Beren and Lúthien”)

Fanwork Prompt:
Create a fanwork inspired by one or more of the following musical terms. You can use the mood, the literal or figurative meaning, a different meaning of the word, or anything else you like.

Accent: Emphasize, make a particular part more important.

Brio (Italian: vivacity, fire or energy) appears as an instruction to performers; for example, allegro con brio, meaning fast with brilliance and fire.

Crescendo: Growing (i.e. progressively louder).

Divisi: Divided (i.e. in a part in which several musicians normally play exactly the same notes they are instead to split the playing of the written simultaneous notes among themselves).

Elegy: An elegy (French: élégie) is a lament, either vocal or instrumental.

Grave (Italian: slow, solemn) is used as an indication of tempo and mood, meaning slow and serious.

Harmony: The simultaneous combination of tones, especially when blended into chords pleasing to the ear; chordal structure, as distinguished from melody and rhythm.

Hymn: A hymn is a song of praise, whether to a god, saint or hero.

Morendo: Dying (i.e. dying away in dynamics, and perhaps also in tempo).

Subito: Suddenly (e.g. subito pp, which instructs the player to suddenly drop to pianissimo as an effect).

Tranquillo: Calmly, peacefully.

Virtuoso: (Noun or adjective) performing with exceptional ability, technique, or artistry.

zdenka

Fanwork Prompt:
Then he took up the harp which he bore ever with him, being skilled in playing upon its strings, and heedless of the peril of his clear voice alone in the waste he sang an elven-song of the North for the uplifting of hearts. And even as he sang the well at his feet began to boil with great increase of water, and it overflowed, and a rill ran noisily down the rocky hillside before him. And Tuor took this as a sign, and he arose at once and followed after it. (Unfinished Tales, “Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin”)

independence1776

Fanwork Prompt:
Out of the mists they come
through darkling doors whereat doom waiteth.
Hark! I hear them in the hall chanting:
stern words they sing with strong voices.
Heart shall be bolder, harder be purpose,
more proud the spirit as our power lessens!
Mind shall not falter nor mood waver,
though doom shall come and dark conquer.
(The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorthelm’s Son)

Comment Prompt:

How goes the night?
The night is not yet gone.
I hear the trumpets blowing on the height;
The torch is paling in the coming dawn.
