Creation And Freedom In Tolkien's Silmarilion | Philip Neri Reese, OP
Angelicum Thomistic Institute
The Role of Music in Tolkien's 'The Silmarilion'
This chapter discusses the role of music in Tolkien's 'The Silmarilion' and how it relates to concepts of sin, rebellion, and divine intervention. It explores the idea that Melkor's rebellion is expressed through dissonance in music rather than through war, and analyzes Tolkien's 'Theodicy' where eluvitar addresses the question of sin. The chapter also examines different interpretations of passages related to music and creation in 'The Silmarilion'.
