The Forge Sits Silent (from Azhâr)
I wrote a song for harp and voice, for Chapter 12 of @yubiwamonogatari‘s brilliant fic Azhâr!
It was a joy to compose for you, dear. Your words are gorgeous.

Okay, sooo about a year ago when the Sansukh podfic was auditioning voice actors, I auditioned for Thorin. Thankfully they didn’t choose me (because the person they did choose is amazing and awesome and holy smokes), but when I would practice the lines, I would read through the whole section, to get a feel for the atmosphere. The lines for Thorin were taken from the end of chapter 10, which ends in a song sung by Bilbo, called “I Sit Beside the Fire and Think”. The first 2 stanzas were written by Tolkien, and the last 2 are by @determamfidd
“I sit beside the fire and think
Of all that I have seen,
Of meadow-flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been.I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago,
And people who will see a world
That I shall never know.I sit beside the fire and think
Of words I never said,
Of promises and wishes made
All locked up in my head.I sit beside the fire and think
I hear him now and then.
But still I wait to hear that knock
Upon my door again.”It felt off to end the chapter by just reading the song, so I came up with a little melody to sing it to. Please note that I am not a musician, so if anything is off about the melody, blame my inexperience. I’m pretty sure it’s a melody I came up with myself, but if I subconsciously took it from somewhere, pls let me know.
(Since I have no idea where my recording equipment is, and I don’t want to re-learn how to use it just for this, I took a video of myself singing it in my car. Enjoy.)
oh mysdljhyafasdjhgfajh oh my gosshshshsshhshshshshsh
!!!!!!!
THIS IS THE SWEETEST, oh my god, i can imagine old!Bilbo humming this lovely sweet tune in his cracked old voice and OH
*APPLAUSE* I gotta give it a crack, oh my gosh I LOVE IT, thank you FOREVER, and also YOU GENIUS!
So, my nephew James- freshly minted graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts – and his beloved Emily got married last weekend.
I did a thing. Like the Hamiltrash I am.
I made the mistake of looking directly into their eyes when I began the toast, and teared up INSTANTLY. So I’m powering through that.
Oh, and I refer to a student-written production James was in where there was a bizarre song called “War and Pancakes”. It’s…..disturbingly catchy.
It was a hell of an adventure to get there; the night before we were to fly – Thursday – I had nerve jolts from 11 pm-3 am. Screaming nerve jolts in my back and leg. There was no way I could sit to fly. I couldn’t sit for 10 minutes without yelping and jolting. But there was also no way I was going to miss that wedding. I worked for six months to NOT miss another big event in James’ life.
I worked all day to get my symptoms under control with my medical marijuana and every stretch I could do without making it worse, and we left for the rehearsal dinner at 1 am Friday, me with a big bedtime dose of mmj, a half a muscle relaxer, reclining seat and cozy pillows. I slept almost the entire time.A few breaks for power naps when the Memorial Day traffic worsened below DC, and we got there in time for a shower, more power naps, and then to this dinner. I gotta tell you, I was so happy we made it, and learned I can travel again.
The look on James’ face when I walked in, y’all….worth every jolt.
So here ya go, Ham4Jam. Thanks for the inspiration @linmanuel ❤
I sure have! People have pointed me to her previously. But thank you for the reminder – ahhh so gorgeous ❤
I DID IT YESSSSSSSS

you know what, idc I worked really hard on this and I wanted to hear how it turned out again, yolo etc etc
also I transcribed everything into musescore (and it took fucking forever) and the result: i now have sheet music of hamilton

I have heard them! ThEY ARE GLORIOUS. I’m pretty sure myself that Baris could sing like that, yeah – she’s very vocally versatile!
