Here is an approximation of Tolkien's voice reading Ainulindalë from The Silmarillion that we put together including some of his idiosyncratic pauses and speech patterns.
This week, we continue our unit on The Silmarillion and discuss the Ainulindalë, aesthetics and philosophy, the subcreative process and the Secret Origins of Melkor.

Xenharmonic black metal project Melopœia consists of Brian Leong, Jon Lervold, and Dave Tremblay. Their albums are inspired by J.R.R. Tolkein, and features his direct text both sung, and by mapping the letters of the text to different notes of 26-tone equal temperament. Their latest album utilizing this is “Valaquenta,” be sure to catch the latest track “Varda” which we discuss and play in the episode! Their earlier album, “Ainulindalë,” used the same method of starting the album and then uploading tracks one at a time as completed.

Lectura de la primera de las entregas de El Silmarillion: Ainulindalë. Una obra especial y personalmente querida por formar parte de esos libros que en nuestra primera adolescencia nos hacían soñar con ese maravilloso mundo creado por Tolkien. Leeremos la versión en papel comprada hace muchos años, en 1984, cuya traducción fue realizada por Rubén Masera y Luis Doménech. Ediciones Minotauro. La voz de la narradora: María Larralde. Edición Historias Pulp. La música utilizada en este audiolibro pertenece al fondo de música de Pixabay.
In this episode, we talk about what is arguably the most interesting of J.R.R. Tolkien's philosophies: Creation! We break down how God created the real world and how this is portrayed in the Ainulindalë, how God's omniscience relates to humanity's free will, and the greatest philosophy of Tolkien: sub-Creation. This one idea points to Tolkien's theory of the purpose of Creation, the reason for existence, and what beauty is. We also complain about modern art and mention the dreaded c-word!

Moni fantasian ystävä yllättyy kuullessaan, että J.R.R. Tolkienin mielestä Taru Sormusten Herrasta oli pohjimmiltaan uskonnollinen ja katolinen kirja, joka syntyi neitsyt Marian esirukousten ansiosta. Mitä tekemistä hobiteilla, haltioilla, velhoilla ja örkeillä voi olla kristinuskon kanssa? Harva tietää aiheesta niin paljon kuin Petri Samuel Tikka. Hän on haltiakielten puhuja, evankelis-luterilainen pappi ja universaalia pelastusta käsittelevästä jaksosta tuttu Harhaoppia-konkari. Hän ja Markus keskustelevat Tolkienin teologiasta, fantasian hengellisestä arvosta ja siitä, miten kolmiyhteinen Jumala on läsnä Tolkienin legandariumissa. Jaksossa käsitellään mm. seuraavia aiheita - Millaista roolia Petri Samuel Tikan hengellisessä matkassa J.R.R. Tolkien on näytellyt? - Eru Ilúvatar ja kolminaisuus - Tolkienin luomiskertomus Ainulindalë kristillisen luomisopin tulkintana - Neitsyt Marian rooli Tarussa Sormusten Herrasta. - Onko Gandalf helluntailainen? - Amazonin Mahtisormukset-sarja, karvajalat ja The Strangerin henkilöllisyys - Taru Sormusten Herrasta neitsyt Marian rukousten aikaansaannoksena - C.S. Lewisin ja J.R.R. Tolkienin kiista allegoriasta - Frodon tarina kuvauksena armosta - Universalismin salonkikelpoistuminen Suomen kristillisissä piireissä - Onko Tolkienin jumalakuva lähempänä klassisen teismin muuttumatonta Jumalaa vai avoimen ja relationaalisen teismin muuttuvaa Jumalaa? - Legolaksen hiusten väri - Enkelien olemassaolo - Lauri Kemppainen on viisas mies - Paholaisen riitasoinnut osana luomisen sinfoniaa - Tom Bombadil ja Jumalan viisauden ilmeneminen luomakunnassa Harhaoppia-podcastin jaksot, joihin tässä jaksossa viitataan - 17.

We're currently on a short break (returning in mid-August), so THIS WEEK ONLY I'm making my audiobook of Tolkien's Overture: Concerning the Music of the Ainur available!Get 20% OFF of everything at https://TrueMythsPress.com when you use the code EP300.Now available in signed paperback, Kindle, and via Audible! Learn more: https://TolkiensOverture.com .'And thus was the habitation of the Children of Ilúvatar established at last in the Deeps of Time and amidst the innumerable stars.'Originally published as part of The Silmarillion in 1977, “Ainulindalë” is the creation story of Middle-earth. Like the biblical account, it begins mysteriously with one great Divinity, but from there goes down a far different path. Whereas the biblical story involves speaking creation into being, Tolkien's vision involves the creation of lesser gods who then create a great music that brings Middle-earth into reality.In Tolkien's Overture, John Carswell conducts a close reading of the text of “Ainulindalë”, and then goes on to explore the role of music in Middle-earth's history, from the creation of Elves, Dwarves, and Men in the First Age to the great events of the late Third Age as recounted in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Furthermore, it delves into the mystery of evil, as embodied in the mighty Melkor, the great villain of the First Age and the mentor of Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor.From the mystical song of the seas to the voice of Lúthien to the strangely musical ways of Tom Bombadil, the reader will come away with a far deeper understanding of Tolkien's imaginary world, and see clearly how music is truly the preternatural fabric from which Middle-earth is made.
Why is music so important? Are the Valar really transgender? Join Michael, Dan, and Jonathan as they begin the long journey through The Silmarillion with the first chapter, Ainulindalē.

What are the Ainulindalë? How do you even pronounce Ainulindale?! In this episode, Ashley explains the first chapter of the Silmarillion and leaves Abi both in awe and udder bewilderment.

Upon completion of The Lord of the Rings, new readers often turn to The Silmarillion. But J.R.R. Tolkien's epic collection of mythopoeic stories—covering everything from the creation of Eä (the Ainulindalë), the Valar and Mayar, the creation of the Elves as well as the events of the First and Second Ages of Middle-earth—can be overwhelming. Thankfully, Laura Schmidt, Wade Center Archivist, joins Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing to walk us through to the larger themes and storylines of this amazing volume of stories.
"Mmm, tasty music." Welcome to our first episode, covering the first two sections of J. R. R. Tolkien's 'The Silmarillion.' The universe is sung into being, our villain is introduced, and we get a breakdown of the Valar and the Maiar (gods and angelic beings). Follow us on Facebook and Twitter or reach us at historyofarda@gmail.com, and let us know your thoughts on the episode, questions you'd like answered, or things you'd like us to cover in future episodes.

Being the one hundred and thirty-ninth episode in which the Silmarillion has all the makings of a Disney movie, Melkor and Troy Bolton have a lot in common, and Tolkien is either for or against gender rights, we're still not sure.

Chapter 1 picks up the story where “Ainulindalë” left off. The Valar have entered the world created by their music, only to find it essentially UNFORMED, and in need of their labor to achieve the shape they had envisioned. And, ultimately, to set the stage for the coming of the Children of Ilúvatar.EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: John R, Kaitlyn of Tea with TolkienQUOTE OF THE WEEK: “The dealing of the Ainur have indeed been mostly with the Elves, for Ilúvatar made them more like in nature to the Ainur, though less in might and stature; whereas to Men he gave strange gifts.” - The Silmarillion, Chapter 1CONTENTS:- Quote of the Week » 1:30- Synopsis » 5:00- The First War / Tulkas vs. Melkor » 8:10- The Two Lamps / The Spring of Arda » 17:05- Melkor Destroys The Two Lamps » 25:25- Arda Changed / The Blessed Realm / Valinor » 31:45HELPFUL LINKS:- buy The Silmarillion » https://amzn.to/3FOKAY5- buy The Atlas of Middle-earth » https://amzn.to/3KLOxQa- Timeline of Arda » https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline_of_Arda - Aman, The Blessed Realm » https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Aman- Episode 4 » https://youtu.be/8UNmaiMJeTQFOLLOW US:- https://patreon.com/tolkienroad- https://facebook.com/tolkienroad- https://twitter.com/tolkienroad- https://instagram.com/tolkienroadSPECIAL THANKS TO THESE PATRONS:- John R- Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien- Andrew T- Ms. Anonymous- Redhawk- Shannon S- Brian O- Emilio P- Zeke F- James A- James L- Chris L- Chuck F- Asya V- Ish of the Hammer- Teresa C- David of Pints with Jack- Jonathan D- Eric S- Joey S- Eric B- Johanna T- Mike M- Robert H- Paul D- Julia- Werty- Matthew W- JoeBagelManAS WELL AS THOSE CELEBRATING THEIR PATRON ANNIVERSARY THIS MONTH (JANUARY OF 2022) » Tyler W, Mike M, Elina V, Richard K, Melanie, Scott W, Jason T, David G, John R

In episode 273, we explore the Middle-earth Creation myth, "Ainulindalë", otherwise known as the Music of the Ainur. “Ainulindalë” is one of the most fascinating legends that Tolkien wrote, and it introduces key characters and themes into the legendarium. Furthermore, it sets the stage for everything that comes after, from the First Age to the Third (and beyond)! If this is your first time reading it, you're in for a big treat!

Join us for the inaugural episode of the Silmarillion Sessions. We begin with the myth of Creation, the Ainulindalë. We touch on the importance of beauty and goodness, and ask whether these two concepts can be equated in the story, and we consider the role that Plato's ideas about the Forms might play in comprehending the nature of Tolkien's creation myth. We also discuss the Waldman letter. Please join us. The Silmarillion Sessions are suitable for veteran readers, or those who wish to get into The Silmarillion for the first time. We recommend that you read the chapter prior to listening to the episode, however! Find us at our Substack, and Twitter. Please leave a rating and a review, and let us know if you think that Beauty can be equated with The Good!

16 May 2021 | St. Simon Stock | Eugene, Ore. This week’s episode comes a day late because I have been laid up this weekend with a cold. I make up for it with a lengthy discussion of Tolkien’s “Waldman Letter” (no. 131) which discusses the history, inspiration and major themes of his legendarium, as well as the first two tales of the Silmarillion, Ainulindalë and Valaquenta. Also in this week’s episode: St. Simon Stock, the scapular promise, and the roles of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary in the sanctification of the soul! Link to the Waldman Letter: https://www.tolkienestate.com/en/writing/letters/letter-milton-waldman.html Note: I am recording this episode using new software and still tweaking the settings. Let me know if you notice any audio issues or abnormalities. Opening music: “Viri Galilaei,” introit for the feast of the Ascension, composed by William Byrd, sung by The Cardinall’s Musick, 2004.

Fr. Anthony Cook returns to the podcast to take a deep dive with Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick into the Ainulindalë, Tolkien’s myth of how the creation is sung into being, including the origin and problem of free will and evil, as well as the making of the Tolkienian divine council. They wrap up with a new segment, looking at the Finnish epic The Kalevala, a highly influential piece in Tolkien’s formation and legendarium.

If you’re following along with our Tea with Tolkien book club, this is week two of our The Silmarillion read-along! We are only on week two out of twenty, and we haven’t covered too much ground already so if you’d like to jump in there’s still time! This book club will run through the end of May and then we’ll begin a new book club in the fall. If you have any suggestions for our fall book club, keeping in mind that it should be something written by Tolkien or at least someone Tolkien-adjacent, you can find me on instagram or twitter @teawithtolkien. If you’d like to sign up, you can do so here. So this week we’re discussing the first part of The Silmarillion, "Ainulindalë: The Music of the Ainur" as well as Valaquenta. These two chapters are separate from the Quenta Silmarillion, or the Silmarillion proper as it’s often referred, which we are beginning next week.

Wow Auxiliary Statements in your feed on a TUESDAY?! For the first episode of our mid-week mini-episode series (known henceforth as Adjunct Statements), Jack takes a dive into the greatest book ever written...State and Rev-, uh, I mean The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien. Why the hell is this in my commie podcast feed you ask? Not sure, but Jack does his best to explain what use this big ol' book could be to socialists, nerds and freaks today. Reading: "The Ainulindalë" from The Silmarillion (1977), by JRR Tolkien. Cover Art: Melkor Weaves Opposing Music by Ted Nasmith.

Return of the Queen! The one and only Becca Tarnas joins us again as we dive deeper than ever before into Tolkien's notion of Faërie, Middle Earth's Creation story, and how the man himself understood creative acts. And, because we are almost at the end of the year, we take what we have learned from this journey into Middle Earth and transform it into some guidelines and inspiration for facing 2020 with our minds on hope and mutual flourishing.

Følgeskabet er draget afsted - det store eventyr venter forude, men i “Eventyret over dem Alle” skal vi ikke bare opleve historien, også forstå den. Derfor må Frederik på jagt efter begyndelsen på det hele. Det sluttede nemlig med begyndelsen. Efter Tolkiens død, blev der, på hans arbejdsværelse, fundet brudstykker af en tekst kaldet Ainulindalë. For det hele begyndte med ordene “Eru, var den Ene, i Arda kaldet Ilúvatar”.

Because our book club is beginning our read-along of The Silmarillion in a little less than two weeks (September 9th), I wanted to have my friend John Carswell on the show to chat about The Silmarillion as well as tips and resources for those of you who might be reading this masterpiece for the first time. John is the co-host of the first Tolkien podcast I ever got really into, The Tolkien Road, as well as the author of two books on The Silmarillion -- Tolkien’s Requiem and Tolkien’s Overture. Both of these have been incredibly helpful for me personally in the past few years as I read The Silmarillion for the first and second time. I’ll add links to both in the show notes so you can order copies for yourself. I also wanted to let you all know that if you do want to join in on the book club, there’s still time to grab your copy of The Silmarillion and get ready. We will begin discussing Ainulindalë on September 9th in our free Discord server -- if you’re unfamiliar with Discord, it’s basically a group chat so you can jump into the discussion whenever you’re able throughout the week. If you’d like to download our Silmarillion reading schedule and get the link to our Discord server, you can sign up using your email address at www.teawithtolkien.com/silmarillion. And if you’re listening to this episode way in the future, you can go to www.teawithtolkien.com/book-club to see what we’re reading next.

In this episode of SFE Deep Lore, we continue talking about the Ainulindalë, the creation myth of Middle-Earth. We already covered Eru and the Ainur singing the world into existence, so now let's get into what they do after they get there.
In this first installment of SFE Deep Lore, we discuss Middle-Earth's creation story: the Ainulindalë, or the music of the Ainur. Check out Evan Palmer's comic version of this story here!
Well here it is: a late submission for likely our most important episode to date. The Lore Boys are talking about the Lord of the Rings creation myth. That's Illuvatar, the Ainu, the Valar, Gandalf, Balrogs, Sauron, Melkor, and more. Who is the God of Pouring? Of course we try and pepper in a few good goofs but in this illustrious episode tackling one of the most important pieces of fiction of the last century we try and give it to you as completely as possible.We ask if Legolas eats ass, we find out who makes a better Doorf than a window, and we cover Jamie in jelly and dog hair.As always, we super appreciate you listening, and hope that if you enjoy the show you'll tell your friends and leave us a review on iTunes and the rest our social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.) We wanna hear from you guys, so shoot us an email at loreboyspodcast@gmail.com. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Tolkien's Overture: Concerning the Music of the Ainur Introduction Originally published in 1977, "Ainulindalë" is the creation story of Middle-earth. In Tolkien's Overture, John Carswell conducts a close reading of "Ainulindalë", and then goes on to explore the role of music in Middle-earth's history.

One Episode to Rule Them All!!! Having completed a chapter-by-chapter walkthrough of The Silmarillion (which spans over 30 hours of content), we decided to do an episode where we cover the whole of The Silmarillion in less than an hour. With this one episode, you get the whole enchilada, from "Ainulindalë" to "Eärendil" to the end of the Third Age. If you've always wanted to read The Silmarillion but have never succeeded, then this is the episode for you! You can also find some helpful resources for The Silmarillion at TrueMyths.org/Silm.
In the fourth episode of Season 1, we determine how Melkor meets the other Valar and focus on the end of the Ainulindalë and Iluvatar’s conversation with Ulmo.
It’s time to discuss the Music of the Ainur, one of the most thought-provoking and beautiful stories Tolkien wrote. This is a central core concept that, while it’s detached from the “main” story of The Silmarillion, it’s always there in the background.
We sit down with illustrator Evan Palmer of EvanPalmerComics.com to discuss his graphic interpretation of Ainulindalë. It's an illuminating interview for a fascinating work! You can find Evan's work at EvanPalmerComics.com/Ainulindale. Come get lost in Middle-earth and explore the history of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings! Talking Tolkien is the podcast of the website TrueMyths.org. You can learn more by following @tolkienwisdom on Twitter and following TrueMyths.org on Facebook at Facebook.com/TrueMyths.
On the second episode of the Talking Tolkien podcast, co-hosts John & Greta Carswell examine Ainulindalë, the first section in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion. Come get lost in Middle-earth and explore the history of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings! Talking Tolkien is the podcast of the website TrueMyths.org.
Tolkien Experts Jonathan Cox and Katie Sabo are enlightening Chase Smith who is ignorant of Tolkien’s work. They start with the Middle-Earth creation myth of Ainulindalë and the listing of minor deities in the Valaquenta.
