Tolkien's Elvish Word For The Day
Alice V. Beckstrom: Private Voice Teacher in Katy/Houston, TX and Director of Katy Chamber Chorus



The Lord of the Rings - A Choral Symphony
featuring the Katy Chamber Chorus,
directed by Alice Valantine Beckstrom


Tolkien's Elvish languages (found in LOTR, The Hobbit, and other works by Tolkien)
are beautiful and easy to learn.  Anyone can learn Elvish, just one word at a time.
