 Music in Middle-Earth
The evolution of poetry and song in the Middle Ages was away from unrhymed rhythmical alliterative songs toward the metrical rhymed lines of modern poetry and music.
Because the notation for the songs in Gregorian chant from the Middle Ages does not indicate the lengths of notes, it is not known exactly how any particular song was sung.
Concerning musical instruments in Middle-earth, the Dwarves play "little fiddles," "flutes," "clarinets," "viols," "drums," and a "harp." In "Frodo's Song at Bree," a cat plays a "fiddle." "Durin's Song" mentions "harps" and "trumpets." In the Middle Ages, the harp was a basic instrument that was strummed between lines in Germanic lays.
