The thing that fascinates me the most is how Finrod and Luthien both use music as a weapon. There's also some meta out there that this is how Galadriel brought down Dol Guldur. The use of words and music in Tolkien really is fascinating.

The music in the BBC Radio adaptation (1981) is wonderful - standouts for me are Shadowfax's Theme and the Eagle's Song, which is very unearthly. In fact that adaptation is pure gold all round.

Also I remember liking this back in the 1970s. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00407NFKQ/ref=sr_1_8_olp?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1503649845&sr=1-8&keywords=%22lord+of+the+rings%22+music

I've been listening to the BBC radio drama of LotR during my daily commute lately, and I've kinda been thinking the same? I mean, I get why they films cut the songs, but listening to the radio drama is a stark reminder about how central poetry and songs are to this work and to these characters.
