MarsDragoner Coranar is a delicate and immersive journey into Middle-Earth's realms. Supremely tranquil and meditative, the old-school influences are palpable and a delight to make out. It is extremely impressive how tasteful the traditions of old are presented in modern garments. Bombastic in scope yet intricate and thoughtful in execution. One of my favourite dungeon albums in recent times. Favorite track: Lairë.

about

“In Middle-earth the Eldar also observed a short period or solar year, called a coranar or ‘sun-round’ when considered more or less astronomically, but usually called loa ‘growth’ (especially in the north-western lands) when the seasonal changes in vegetation were primarily considered, as was usual with the Elves generally”

“...The loa was broken up into periods that might be regarded either as long months or short seasons. These no doubt varied in different regions; but the Hobbits only provide information concerning the Calendar of Imladris. In that calendar there were six of these ‘seasons’, of which the Quenya names were “tuilë”, “lairë”, “yávië”, “quellë”, “hrívë” and “coirë” which may be translated as spring, summer, autumn, fading, winter and stirring”

“Lairë and hrívë each contained 72 days, and the remainder 54 each. The loa began with “yestarë”, the day immediately before tuilë and ended with mettarë, the day immediately after coirë. Between yávië and quellë were inserted three enderi or ‘middle-days’. This provided a year of 365 days which was supplemented by doubling the enderi (adding 3 days) in every twelfth year”

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Appendix D. J. R. R. Tolkien.

“Coranar” is the album of the seasons according to the Imladris calendar. I have attempted to capture in each of these songs, the spirit of the seasons of the elves and the atmosphere that transmits to me each of these times of the year according to the common calendar. I hope to be able to transport you to each of these soundscapes, from the soft light of tuilë to the white and cold night of hrívë.
