silwritersguild | Holiday Feast Cheese Course: Beren and Lúthien Playlist

Here is a Beren and Lúthien playlist, for the Art Challenge of the Holiday Feast Cheese Course. Link: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkeBq4GBQ0kM8CcEqrsqv_ErlJzJJ93Jj
I know Beren and Lúthien were listed for the reading challenge, but as far as “scene that you think they would ham up the most” this would be it, so I think it fits either way. There is a good bit of great music explicitly based off of B&L, so included some of that. I went back and forth about the order of this. I am still not completely happy with it, so I may continue tinkering with the order, but I figured it’s time I post this. It’s meant to be sort of semi chronological and sometimes songs with similar themes are put together.
Anyway, tracklist with occasional brief commentary is below the cut.

1. Dancer and the Moon by Blackmore’s Night
Note: This fits amazingly well, with Lúthien’s dancing, Beren’s following her, their falling in love and even reference to the “Master of Fate” and yet as far as I know it wasn’t made with B&L in mind.
