Challenge: inspired musical work

Filed under: 2006 FRBR Challenge — William Denton @ 7:26 am

There has been less than one entry in the 2006 FRBR Challenge. Here’s another example of something Lord of the Rings-related, something one might find in a library, this time music:

  • Work: Nightfall in Middle-Earth by Blind Guardian (a German power metal band).
  • Expression: The original 1998 release (I believe there was a later release with two bonus tracks).
  • Manifestation: The 1998 compact disc pressing from Century Media, number 7961-2 (it could be a repressing; I don’t know).
  • Item: My copy.
  • Relations: This CD is inspired by The Silmarillion. It contains twenty-two works, each inspired by a particular incidents or stories from The Silmarillion. There are eleven songs and eleven interludes, the first with Sauron taking his leave from Morgoth. This CD has a whole-part relation to each of the twenty-two tracks, and each of those has its own relations to The Silmarillion.
