THE STARLIT JEWEL is a CD of songs from J.R.R. Tolkien's THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS, with musical settings by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Kristoph Klover, and Margaret Davis. Beautiful Celtic and Medieval-flavored musical settings featuring vocals, harp, guitar, cello, recorders, and other acoustic instruments. This recording is fully authorized by the Estates of J.R.R. Tolkien and Marion Zimmer Bradley; edition limited to 2000 copies.
"The Starlit Jewel is a rare collection - a must for admirers of Tolkien's Middle-earth poetry and for lovers of well-played, well-sung music."
-- Paula di Sante, Mythopoeic Society

Out of Nazareth

Marion Zimmer Bradley

They've asked me if I knew the preacher then;
I knew his father, yes, and all his kin;
They were all just hard-working local men
Like all the rest -- how do such yarns begin?

He read in Synagogue and had a way
Of telling little stories with a touch
That made the old Commandments new each day;
And yet, round here, he never seemed like much.

I only heard good sense in what he said,
And that he was, like his old mother, kind.
Since then, they say, the fellow's raised the dead,
Changed water into wine, and cured the blind--

The sort of rubbish folks will always say.
I just remember how he preached that day.
