Every house in Fairlight has a name as well as a number. Ours is called 'Lothlorien'. 
The fairest Elf-kingdom remaining on Middle Earth in the Third age was Lothlorien, where the Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn ruled.
There are no trees like the Mallorn trees of the land. For in the autumn their leaves fall not, but turn to gold. Not till the spring and the new green opens do they fall, and then the boughs are laden with yellow flowers; and the floor of the wood is golden. 
'Sagan Om Ringen' was released on Silence Records (Sweden's first independent record label) in autumn 1970 and became a huge hit. Copies of the album began to filter across to Britain where it came to the attention of Tony Stratton Smith, who was so impressed that he released the album as 'Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings' on his own Charisma Records label in September 1972. 
Bo Hansson was the Swedish musician who made that record and this is the track 'Lothlorien’ - another instrumental piece, the video just the LP cover >
PS:
More Swedish music (and sorcery) earlier this week when we saw 'Abba Voyage' in London. It was quite an incredible spectacle ! One I will return to at a future date.
