Here’s a lovely little tidbit via The Mary Sue: a beautiful-sounding, New Zealand-shot video featuring a Lord of the Rings violin medley performed by Lindsey Stirling. If Lindsey’s previous video (a Legend of Zelda medley) was well-liked among the geek crowd for its content and production quality, I can only imagine how popular this one will become. If you like what you hear, consider supporting a fellow fan by purchasing some of her original music on iTunes.
Author: Oloriel
From time out of mind, Oloriel has been typing away in her little apartment, cats at her feet, hoping to reach out to other fantasy lovers by way of folkandfairy.com. Her discovery of Tolkien as a young adult awakened her long-dormant love of the otherworldly, and now she sees magic everywhere.
Oloriel has a degree in writing, which she put to work during a three-year stint in vanity publishing – an experience not unlike purgatory and very much like having to read 20 bad books each week – which she prefers not to talk about. To renew herself, she knits, naps, reads, prays, writes, walks in the woods, and eats too many cookies.
