As a holiday gift, I commissioned Aoife O'Dea to sing Luthien's Lullaby from the Lay of Leithian musical.
There couldn't be a more perfect fit- Aoife, who played Arwen in Watermill Theatre's Lord of the Rings musical last year, and Luthien, Arwen's elven ancestor, using the magic of song to send us off to sleep.
Dreams, on the wings of music hover...
Tumblr media
Voice and harp- Aoife O'Dea Original music and lyrics- Skadi English lyrics- @nereb-and-dungalef, @quixoticanarchy, and @sewn-with-lilies-fair
Lyrics under the cut.
Day fades to night, Sunset hides its light ‘til dawn’s unveiling. Stars out of sight Shine over those whose strength is close to failing.
I sing before the lord of darkness, Minstrel in the halls that echo starless. Dreams on the wings of music hover- Sleep, bow your head to peaceful slumber. Sleep…
On gentle wings Mist turns the mountains sapphire as the ocean. Like waves I sing, And from the strands of fate my verse is woven.
Over the night the moon is sailing Onward, to the shores where sleep is waiting. Dreams on the wings of music hover- Wait, bow your head to peaceful slumber. Wait…
Fine threads of rain Upon your window weave a satin curtain. Lay down your pain, And let oblivion relieve your burden.
Hear how the restless wind is sighing- Quiet, for the storm has ceased its crying. Dreams on the wings of music hover- Hush, bow your head to peaceful slumber. Hush…

Here I am - A king without a country. Here I am - A remnant of war. Here I am - A prisoner of spring. Here I am - These words are true.
Mikhail Potekhin as Beren Erchamion in Lay of Leithian
for @sewn-with-lilies-fair !Happy Birthday!

In response to your question asking about a list of Russian rock opera related tags to block, following are the ones I'm aware of.
lol the rock opera, lay of leithian the rock opera, lay of leithian rock opera, Лэ о Лэйтиан, finrod rock opera, finrod the rock opera, finrod zong, beren and luthien equestrian musical, and Сказание о Берене и Лютиэн.
If you want, here are the tags used to identify the main actors in each: maxim rakovsky, Максим Раковский, mikhail potekhin, Михаил Потехин, vilena sokolova, Вилена Соколова, yaroslav bayarunas, Ярослав Баярунас, andrey birin, pavel dorofeev, emil sales, alexander rychkov, daria burlyukalo, and evgeny egorov.
Finally, I have noticed another Russian rock opera show up with these that isn't a Silm adaptation. The tags for it are the last trial (this one could block some book material, though), the last trial rock opera, and Последнее испытание.
(Oh, I do know there are Czech Silm rock operas as well. If you want to know what those are, I found a list of them here: https://www.tumblr.com/tarrevizsla/695742787110502400/czech-tolkien-musicals-directory-musicals-by?source=share )
I hope this helps!
thank you so much anon! i didn't expect someone to actually show up with the list, it's very kind of you 💛
and yes i'm aware of the czech musicals! they are on my watch list :D

Вы читали "Детей Турина" и "Берена и Лютиэн"? Я их тут перечитываю, Вы меня в свой Средиземный заход тоже затянули ;) Кстати, а как Вы относитесь к Матрице? Новый фильм вышел просто шикарным! Он сильно отличается от оригинальной трилогии, но его определённо стоит посмотреть. Мне не часто такие сиквелы-вбоквелы нравятся, но этот зашёл ;) И картинка наконец не тёмная!
Ну, я читала то, что про них есть в "Сильмариллионе", но отдельные произведения, если таковые есть - нет (помню, что про детей Хурина точно есть отдельная книга). Хех, я рада, присоединяйтесь к горению :D Сегодня вот, кстати, как раз слушала "Лэ о Лэйтиан" Скади - концепт-альбом (мюзикл в исполнении одного исполнителя?) про Берена и Лютиэн, очень по душе пришлось.
"Матрица" - один из многочисленных пробелов в моём поп-культурном образовании, я ни одной части не видела. Надо добраться как-нибудь, что ли...

I kneel before you, Lord, And I cry, for what I do not know. My singing in the Halls is uncanny And flies wildly like a lone sunbeam.

Lay of Leithian Character Portraits
Thingol, King of Doriath
portrayed by Konstantin Baryshnikov
If you are a hero - go to battle, And turn your word into reality. Take the northern road, to the Kingdom of Darkness, And return with a Silmaril.
