Song of Durin | Performed by John Rhys-Davies

The Song of Durin, performed by John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) with musical accompaniment composed by @ClamaviDeProfundis and performed by @Cellofrag. On a recent livestream with @NerdoftheRings to promote the new Return to Moria game where he returns to voice Gimli, John Rhys-Davies was kind enough to recite the Song of Durin. This poem was sung by Gimli as the fellowship traveled through Moria. It recalls the splendour of Khazad-dûm and the dwarf city of Dwarrowdelf in its prime. The full interview can be found here: Although this poem never made it into the films, @ClamaviDeProfundis composed an amazing version of the song, which can be found here: In this video, John’s narration is set to a cover of this music, arranged and performed by @Cellofrag.
