The Gammidgy Knot
Soundtrack

Feel free to ignore or explore.  I always write with music playing in my headphones and I use certain music for certain scenes in every story.  Sometimes the music is a theme.  Sometimes the music belongs to certain characters.  Sometimes the music is simply there to set the mood.  This story is all about themes and you will find, as the story progresses, that "Under High Branches" is Frodo and Sam's song, "Two Trees" is Ham and Bell's song, "Argatnel" is Bilbo's, while  "Tir Na Mban" belongs to the Gamgee girls and "Sons of Uisnach" belongs to the Tighfield Gamgees. 

This story owes a great deal to Mychael and Jeff Danna, whose lovely and haunting A Celtic Tale is the source for most of these.  Maire Breatnach's beautiful The Voyage of Bran also provided two tunes.  I highly recommend both.   And of course, with Frodo and Sam, you can always count on an Italian love song at some point.  And my favourite place for Italian love songs is Josh Groban.

Since it is illegal for me to offer you copies of the actual tunes, I am simply listing my recommendations.
