“There Grímhild dwelt,

guileful in counsel,

grimhearted queen

grey with wisdom,

with lore of leechcraft,

lore of poison,

with chill enchantment

and with changing spells.”

– J.R.R. Tolkien: Völsungakviða en nýja 

Not gonna lie, Grímhild sounds cool.

Not all Tolkien stage adaptations are included 🫥

Based on the story of Tolkien and the spider, I have to also assume that Tolkien also had terrible encounters with:

Shiny stones

Shoes

People trying to buy his house

Black cloaks

Boats

Sorry for my slow response. :) 

As you know, we are complete amateurs, so we could hardly be called celebrities (actually there are some of us that would oppose it very strongly), but it's still incredibly nice to know that our music means so much to someone outside Czechia.

I must say we are quite proud of our characterizations, especially of the more complex characters like Thingol or Maedhros - the songs really give us the space to give them the depth with which we would like for them to be perceived with. When these characters have a whole song just for their feelings a views it really gives them justice. 

Actually I just found the divided songs from Pád Doriathu on your blog, could you direct me to the others, please? :)

As for děti Děti Húrinovy two of the songs are already out as thank you to our sponsors: Země luku a přilby and Pochyby

There also will be English subtitles for the Voyage of Eärendil as soon as it appears on youtube - one of us is already working on it. 

Život a smrt isn't based on another song, or at least not knowingly - the music was composed by Filoména (formerly Bardě), one of the our best composers (the words are actually mine) - it wasn't inspired by anything but you know how music works: almost every theme was already used before so it's not impossible that it reminds you of something else. :)

Hi, I came across your blog recently and I was very surprised that you know our Falešné Společenstvo and that you even seem to be a fan of ours! That's so amazing! I'm very surprised that someone who probably doesn't speak Czech (I am basing this on your bio, sorry if I am wrong) would be so invested in our songs, but as one of the creators I am incredibly flattered! How did you even came across us?

Anyway, we are recording Húrinovy děti right now (but you probably already know that): https://www.donio.cz/album-hurinovy-deti

and there will be new musical this January (if nothing goes wrong): The Voyage of Eärendil

Hi!

I admit this is a bit like a celebrity coming across my nonsense, but yes I am a big fan!

I really enjoy the dedication to the stories, and the characterisations that are presented (especially the characterisation of Maedhros, and of Thingol in Pàd Doriathu, and the relationship of Feanor & Nerdanel in Feanor a jeho synové) and I've found them reasonably ok to understand what is happening so long as you know the story/get google to translate the songs from the sheet music.

I am extremely excited for Húrinovy děti, obviously you've seen that I divided the songs up from the videos so I'm looking forward to hearing them actually recorded (without the inevitable person coughing in the middle of a song....)

And yes I'm excited to see what The Voyage of Earendil covers! I only wish it was remotely possible to see it live, but alas, I live in Australia, so I will be happy with the videos

Also, because it's been nagging at my mind for so long, is "život a smrt" based on a different song? The tune seems familiar to me

Baby manuls!!! My beloved...

I found photos of those Pallas Cat kittens born this year and bye I'm deceased

hello I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. The anonymity of tumblr means that I associate my idea/image of you with your icon and sometimes I look at people’s icons and I’m like ‘hmmm….what is that and why?’ 

so pls reblog this and comment in the tags the meaning behind your icon and why you chose it. this is a social experiment. do it for science pls.

Za císaře pána, neboli Hercegovinu, mám spojenou s asi nejsilnější vzpomínkou na mého dědu, se kterým se písnička vždycky zpívala na chalupě u krbu. Děda byl úžasné zapálený do každého vstávání (rozhodně se muselo vstávat na císaře pána zvlášť a na jeho rodinu zvlášť) a jeho entusiasmus následovalo vždy aspoň sedm vnoučat za mohutných záchvatů smíchu.

A ano, naše verze je jediná správná, škoda že ji má zbytek světa tak nejak pomotanou... :)

1.v táborákovém provedení to zní líp, věřte mi, melancholické pocítěníčko, nemám co dodat

3. (tohle je nejbližsí text, co jsem našla tomu, co zpíváme - aneb když člověk zistí, že jeho verze písničky očividně neexistuje, protože ta originální písnička začíná jinde, má víc slok a některé ty sloky prostě neodpovídají, ehm). každopádně tohle si, dle mého názoru, zaslouží tu být už jen kvůli tomu vstávání a salutování, které člověk musí asi 6x podstoupit
