Inspiration from the lost valley of Rivendell and the house of Elrond (Lord Of The Rings, first book)

Reading J.R.R. Tolkien books, listening Mike Oldfield music and walking in the forest sculpted much of what today is my own style. When I visited Oxford (UK) in 2001 I was inspired to write this piece, which I first played in an ancient spinet at Bate Collection of Musical Instruments (Faculty of Music). The keeper asked me if that was a song of an English composer, I answered: "Oh, no, this is mine, and I have played it my very first time right now!" So I promised that as soon I had the composition ready I'd send a note to them. I did, and I'm very happy for it. Now is one of my favourite pieces.

I have been told that this music is very positive, while J.R.R. Tolkien LOTR books are somewhat obscure. Well, maybe it is true, but I always was amazed by this landscape of Rivendell, so incredibly painted by Alan Lee.
