The Road Goes Ever On.

1 / 3

The Road Goes Ever On.

The first UK edition of composer Donald Swann's musical setting of poems from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Tolkien approved all apart from the sixth song, a setting of Galadriel's farewell from Lórien, 'Namárie', which Tolkien conceived in his mind as a Gregorian plainchant. To this theme Swann added an introduction, interlude, and coda set for the guitar.

First UK edition; 4to (28.5 x 22 cm); text printed in red and black, light spotting to endpapers; publisher's cream paper-covered boards, printed in red to upper cover and spine, unclipped typographic dustjacket, price obscured in pen to inner flap, a little spotted, small chip with slight loss to upper spine of jacket, a few closed tears, very good; [2], ix, [3], 67, [1]pp.
