It's an interesting juxtaposition with the general attitude of the elves. Both elves and dwarves are tied to the world in a much deeper sense than the race of man. Dwarves believe in reincarnation and that a hall is set aside for them in the Halls of Mandos. Elves also reincarnate and for a time stay in the Halls of Mandos. Man is unique in that his time attached to Arda is limited and eventually all pass beyond somewhere else. However the elves lost faith in the world over the ages as time passed and the magic of the early ages faded. Dwarves mostly lost faith in everyone else but never really lost their care for the world and creating great works in it. They also believe that all will be restored to glory in the final days. The elven stance is best summed up by Tolkien's words through Galadriel that “. . . together through ages of the world we have fought the long defeat.” Elves see no winning and restoration at the end, the dwarves do.

"These are not holes. This is a great realm and city of the Dwarrowdelf. And of old it was not darksome, but full of light and splendour, as is still remembered in our songs" He rose and standing in the dark he began to chant in a deep voice, while the echoes ran away to the roof -The Lord of the Rings (Gimli)

It’s a beauty in its own right. I’ve always sympathized with Tolkien’s Dwarves...they’re beautiful craftsmen, artisans, explorers, and wonderful musicians and poets. They wander and settle for a time, a diaspora that longs to return their sacred homes. Tolkien’s Dwarves are a tragic people...worthy of the same deep love they have difficulty showing.

Imagine being Durin when he woke up, all alone in the world, the last thing you remember (maybe) is Illuvatar putting you in the world. The first time you see your own face, you see a crown of stars on your head and you know, you don't believe. You know that you will, must be and are The King of your people. You must feel so much responsibility and you are alone to carry it.

What if this isn't fiction at all, but long-forgotten history?...

Dam my dude same, in my world I'm working on the dwarves and how the humans that use earth magic heavily adopted their culture but even as heavily as they did it still pales in comparison Now we just need to make the culture •_•

This stuff is exactly why I didn't get into the LotR books when I first tried to read it when I was 14, and now three years later on a second go I am loving it. Tolkien made a fantastical world seeped in magic and lore. A truly ancient world where every hill, forest and valley has a story and beings of legend walk the earth. The books have a sense of mystic wonder as it gives the impression that magic is fading, and what remains are shadows of their former power, but the legends and histories that are told in the books give glimpses as to the world when the elves were at their strongest, men were young and the Dwarves lived in their ancient dwellings in all their glory and wonder. Songs like this are why I'm really getting into the world and history of LotR when I might have instead just read and forgotten it.

You're welcome! You guys delighted us all with your previous covers, and now you made something truly glorious to listen to. Music is a universal language, and vocals like yours cut to the heart, bending emotions and passions like a sail bends the energy of the wind to its course. Music is true art, and arguably the purest and most definitive art. The world is better off today because of the beauty your voices have added to it. And the world desperately needs beauty. :)

Clamavi De Profundis I enjoy every piece you put out.

Polish translation of lyrics: Młody był świat, zielony stok Bez skazy księżyc cieszył wzrok Swej nazwy strumień nie znał słów Gdy Durin zbudził się ze snu On nadał wzgórzom miana ich On z źródeł pierwszy wodę pił Jeziora zwierciadlana toń Koronę kładła mu na skroń Na wątku srebrnym tkaną z gwiazdą W odbiciu lśnił klejnotny blask Piękny był świat, wysoki stok Za Dawnych Dni, nim zapadł mrok Na świetnych królów z Nargothtrond Za Morze już odeszli stąd Nim Gondolin oblekła mgła Piękny był świat Durina Dnia W kamiennych salach rządził on Wśród kolumn stał wykuty tron Podłoga z srebra, złoty dach Potężne runy zaś na drzwiach Księżyca tarczy, słońca, gwiazd W kryształach rytych krył się blask Nie zaćmił go nigdy żaden mrok Wciąż piękny, mocny świecił w krąg W kowadło tam uderzał młot Tam grawer rzeźbił liter splot W kuźniach klingi kuto grań Kamieniarz ciosał cegły ścian Beryl i perła, opalu skry I metal co jak łuska lśnił Puklerz i zbroja, topór, miecz I włócznie w skarbców tam szły piecz Beztrosko lud Durina żył Muzyki dźwięki stok gór krył Harfista grał i śpiewał bard Róg zaś brzmiał u bramy wart Szary jest świat i stary stok Zamilkła harfa, nie dudni młot Już wygasł w kuźni ognia żar Mrok zaszedł do Durina sal Cieniem się osnuł jego tumb W kopalniach Morii, w Khazad-dum Lecz wciąż koronę jego z gwiazd W Zwierciadle znać w bezwietrzny czas W głębinie czeka skryta tu Aż Durin zbudzi się znów z snu

This song really captures the essence of the Dwarves themselves. Full of justified pride in their people, a deep respect for their ancestors, and such beautiful, deep and powerful voices which perfectly fit the greatest craftsmen in middle earth.

This is absolutely beautiful and a perfect interpretation of J.R.R.'s writing. Keep doing what your doing and thank you for giving a little more life to the this wonderful world.

This one always make me cry. Beautiful voices, lyrics, feelings. From beginning to end, melancholy and beauty.

This is wondrously powerful and evocative. It somehow manages to bring their rich heritage, with all of its glories, ancient longing, flaws, and reverence, to life.

This is one of the songs I sing to my sons before bed. My middle son likes this one the most because it “Tells a story and is about dwarves ” ❤️😊

Can't. Stop. Listening.

Am I the only one who really liked it when they said, "In Khazad-Dum"? I love how they sang it, and for me, it's one of those words/names that you just want to repeat over and over again.

In Khazalid (the warhammer dwarven language that as far as i can tell really just seems to be an offshoot of the Tolkien dwarven) Khazad-Dum could be roughly translated as 'old dark underground hall' or if you want to keep more of the spirit of what it is 'ancient dead/doomed hall'. With hall meaning more of what you see in the image of this video, than of what we humans normally refer to as 'halls'.

my mind is blown away. Tolkien is a great man who brought the best story's. The songs and texsts alone are so good. I love the lore of the dwarfs as a strong kin bound to eatchouter. this is how the world should be.

"Unwearied then were Durin's Folk" The singing on that line is perfect

There is nothing like listening to this while reading Durin's song.

Wonderful evocation of the tragic sense of lost grace and glory that runs throughout the Silmarillion and underpins The Lord of the Rings! This sent shivers running up and down my spine. I'm sure that Tolkein himself would have loved this.

Never have my ears been graced with such exquisite beauty, nor have I encountered a tribute so fitting to honor the works of the late Professor Tolkien. As he brought unparalleled joy to my childhood through his wondrous works, so do your voices enchant my young adult years, a divine gift, I dare say, that none other could bestow.

Of all the Tolkien works that CDP has performed, this one if my favorite. I dont know why but it touches something within me.

As long as this song exists, Durin shall live within us all. LONG LIVE KING DURIN!

The world is grey, the mountains old The forge's fire is ashen-cold No hard is wrung, no hammer falls, The darkness dwells in Durin's halls Man, those lines hit hard despite knowing that this is a fictional universe. The Dwarves are perhaps the most tragic race in Tolkien's world. Long-lived, but not immortal like Elves. Neither the first or second children of Eru Illuvatar (Elves and Men). Were almost destroyed by their creator (the Valar Aule), but saved at the last moment by Eru. Most of their realms were destroyed by Dragons or ancient evils they dug up.

When I heard this song yesterday for the first time, I couldn't stop thinking about it as I went to sleep, so I had to come back to leave a comment. This is so, so beautiful both in terms of Tolkien's epic text and your original composition, which is so incredibly profound and fitting, and together they are emotionally touching on an indescribable level. Thank you so much for making something of this quality!

This is pure magic. It doesn't simply touch, it grips your heart, and leaves in it a terrible longing.

I love how this is a story of a better time, and shows that as time progressed, things became more and more sad and grey, almost like the very earth was depressed and void of any true life due to the wars waged, the only bit of color left in the world belonging to that of fire, reminding those who use it to build weapons of a time when it was used to simply make meals for their kin and naught a thing more

I am in literally tears right now 😭 I connected with this song! 😩

The idea of looking at your reflection on a lake and seeing stars form a crown is so poetic to me, I wish we got to see it in some movie or something.

six years and I still comeback to listen to this.

Every time I listen to this song, I always feel like to cry near the end of it. Pretty much every time I listen to this song, I think of my grandmother who died over two or three years ago.

Thank you so much for this absolute masterpiece! You do more than honor the legacy of J.R.R. Tolkien with this beautiful work of art.

I cant stop playing this song over and over * - *

I return to this frequently. Such an amazing performance. I can't believe we can listen to this effectively whenver we like. Truly wonderous

Chills. I have chills. This music brings up the same sweet heart ache that followed my first readings of Tolkien’s works. Amazing. Thank you. I’m sharing this as soon as I finish this message.

Brother... I have been waiting for this so much time, and despite I never imagined you would arrange it, I'm so relieved and pleased with the final outcome. This was sincerely beautiful beyond words.

Check out Songs of Hammerdeep then!

After hearing Eurielle's version, I thought to myself for years that there couldn't be two versions.... Until I revisited both songs in 2021 I came to a compromise with the idea that, Eurielle's version was sung by an Elf trader who frequented the Dwarven halls as an elf friend to the dwarves, and who have for the longest time heard the Dwarven songs in their tongue and recounted it's melody by mere memory and had his/her own rendition of the song. While the Clamavi De Profundis version was the actual melody of the song sung by the dwarves themselves.

Since the short A Capella version was uploaded, I am singing it half of the time. This song totally consumed me. I have never heard another song better capturing the essence of the Elder Days. It has all the beauty, majesty, sadness and sorrow what makes Tolkien's world enchanting. I played the song to many people, and there was not a single one who was not enchanted by it. You are artists by the purest meaning of the word.

Each and every voice is soo pure and precise....this is just beyond amazing🥺🥺🥺🥺

Beautiful. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! I can't get this song out of my head. First time I heard it I nearly cried because it's so wonderful.

This really captures the beauty and wonder of Tolkiens creations. Thank you for bringing his poetry to so much life!

I can't stop listening to this song! Thank you so much for making an a cappella version!

Just when I thought the partial version was amazing, along comes this! The sons of Durin would be proud, as we are! Thank you!

I have played this song over and over again, its sends chills down my spine, I love it so much!
