"Hobbits' songs of bath and food, gallant deeds of Men, Dwarfs' mighty works, and sad and beautiful Elven tales are all given voice in this wonderful and timely, recording. The Renaissance Anglo-Celtic ensemble, Broceliande, performed and arranged these richly rendered songs. On several pieces, like the joyful Bath Song and the hauntingly beautiful Lay of Nimrodel, members of Broceliande also composed the melodies. The Starlit Jewel elicits a wonderful emotional connection to the inner sensibilities of the various folk, Little and Big, of beloved Middle Earth."
