May it Be

Enya’s music is instantly recognizable for its ethereal, and atmospheric sound. Her music is comprised of Celtic influences, New Age ambience, and multiple languages like: Irish Gaelic, Latin, and Welsh. This all adds to the mystical and otherworldly feel of Enya’s music.

“May It Be” from the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, really demonstrates her ability to create epic and emotionally resonant music. I’ve always loved this song, and I can’t believe I waited this long to create a fingerstyle arrangement. It perfectly captures the friendship and courage of Frodo and Sam.
