#pád doriathu

[a-mountain-hobbit]

The Fall of Doriath musical stream

Do you especially enjoy the doom and despair parts of the Silmarillion? Then I have the musical for you! Pád Doriathu is about the end of said forest realm, and the downward spiral at the end of the first Age of Beleriand. It's by Falešné Společenstvo (a czech musical theatre group who has 6 full-length Silm musicals so far).

If you don't speak Czech, like many of us, all of the songs and the prologue have automatic english subtitles from the original script. With the dialogue, it's more context/vibes-based. But still very enjoyable, and the beautiful music of course transcends language barriers.

You can watch the musical here on yt, but if you would like to watch it in a group, the Last Homely Server is hosting 2 watchparties again. Hope to see you there!

Stream 1: 30th of November, 18:30 CET Stream 2: 1st of December, 10:00 CET

My recorder cover of Zlo v Nauglamíru from Pád Doriathu, lyrics by Františka Andršová (Aredhel), and music by Filoména Dominová.

The descant recorder (high notes) is playing the sung lines, and I wrote new harmonies for the tenor recorder (low notes) to play underneath them.

(please excuse the timing mistakes, playing to a recording is not one of my strength, and also the cat trying to song along hahah)

i'm at the point where i just listen to them talking over and over and feel better. no idea what they're talking about though (alright maybe only a faint idea based on the plot in general and a few words i recognise) but that's not the point the point in tani's voice. other sons of feanor too but mainly her. herrrrrrrrrr. you don't want to know how serious i am when i say i would fall to my knees instantly if i saw her irl

[myrtaceaae]

Excited about new Hozier album sure. But I finished dividing Pád Doriathu yesterday and we're on a 96 hour Pád Doriathu lockdown.

Sorry Hozier I'm afraid you can't compete with my amatuer czech tolkien musicals ☺️☺️

Maedhros and Maglor Search for Eluréd and Elurín.

second piece of art I did for the scribbles and drabbles event, run by @fall-for-tolkien

I was listening to this song from Pád Doriathu whilst making this. would highly recommend it, and also Maedhros' song afterwards.

I tried to make it an open ending. Generally I go with the idea that Eluréd and Elurín die in the snow, but I decided here that I wanted to give them a chance at survival.

(also can you tell I've never truly interacted with snow before lmao)

[myrtaceaae]

Biting and chewing about Maedhros, specifically in pád doriathu AGAIN.

Like. The despair!!! The pain!!! The disillusionment!! The love !!! OUCH!!!!

[myrtaceaae]

I'm so fucking predictable. I've only been listening to fs songs for awhile, anyways I needed to watch a song from pád doriathu so I could get the subtitles and as usual. I went fucking feral

I'm not joking at all, if you are at all a fan/fascinated by Thingol, Maedhros, Dior, or Elwing. You MUST watch pád doriathu. It wholesale replaced all my headcanons for these characters, and has some of the most painful songs imaginable (I'm staring at Filoména right now). Also a hell of a lot of tonal whiplash but like. It works

anyways watch it I am begging

[myrtaceaae]

Yous are missing so much. I am losing my mind over pád doriathu on instagram ^.^

[myrtaceaae]

Crossroads Pád Doriathu fucks severely. Actual characterisation for Nimloth??? Sign me the fuck up!
