I'e got that song cycle book from the 70s with the cover illustration adapted from the Ballentine paperback volumes of LOTR. With everything written out on multiple staves, I copied, trimmed and pasted up a version of "I sit Beside the Fire" so I could learn it, then realized it depresses me too much. It would be great to have some happier songs from Tolkien to sing.

A few years back, a friend gave me recordings (digital) of a radio show called "Celtic Sunday Brunch" that had done a pair of episodes about Tolkien- inspired music. He looked up some of the featured artists and got an album from one group. I've a vague recollection that one of the ones I liked was a chantey-sounding dwarvish drinking song by a group from a Scandanavian country.
