I was very excited when I saw this submission, as LOTR has been a pretty big way that me and my sister have connected over the years. I have fond memories of reciting Tolkien's poetry to each other and remember being very excited to hear some of our favorite ones realized as full songs when the first Hobbit movie came out. I was immediately struck by how immersive the track is. The panning and recording technique make for such an intimate listening experience that I feel as if I'm there sitting at a long table in a great hall and singing along. I really enjoy how personal and genuine this submission feels :)
