This is set to music by Donald Swann in The Road Goes Ever On, a terrific song cycle of Tolkien lyrics. Worth seeking out

I arranged them for four part choir and string quartet some years back - The Last Farewell particularly is a beautiful piece of music

Ooh, that sounds like the kind of thing I'd love to hear - don't suppose you recorded it, Paul?

Certainly got all the scores - question is whether there was a recording...

I think so, but where it'll be I'm not sure. I'll have a hunt
