We took a different approach on this piece, trying to bring to it more of our staple “dwarven sound.” The piece is in 4 sections. Section one begins with a soloist, proclaiming the death of the dragon and then comes a hearty repeat of the same passage from the crowd gathered. The second section speaks of the strength and wealth of men, and therefore brings a more human touch in this passage, following the same structure as the first section. The third section speaks of elves, and so it moves to a different place. Finally, the fourth and final section is a repeat of the first section to recap the piece and to bring it to a more epic conclusion than if we had continued through the rest of Tolkien’s words. We are hoping to come back to this poem with a new approach soon, to do complete justice to the master’s work. We hope you enjoy this piece as much as we did creating it!

Thank you for your support of our work! We couldn't do this without you!

Here is our version of J.R.R. Tolkien's poem, "The Dragon Is Withered!" We hope you enjoy it:) A note on our interpretation: We took a different approach on this piece, trying to bring to it more of our staple “dwarven sound.” The piece is in 4 sections.

Lyrics: "The Dragon Is Withered" The dragon is withered, His bones are now crumbled; His armour is shivered, His splendour is humbled! The dragon is withered, His bones are now crumbled; His armour is shivered, His splendour is humbled! Though sword shall be rusted, And throne and crown perish With strength that men trusted And wealth that they cherish, Though sword shall be rusted, And throne and crown perish With strength that men trusted And wealth that they cherish, Here grass is still growing, And leaves are yet swinging, The white water flowing, And elves are yet singing Come! Tra-la-lally! Come back to the valley! The dragon is withered, His bones are now crumbled; His armour is shivered, His splendour is humbled!
