Ainulindalë

Ainulindalë is the creation myth in J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium, describing how the universe was formed through music. In this story, the divine beings called Ainur first sang a great, harmonious melody that shaped the world, with each making their own unique contribution. Their song was so powerful that it became the physical universe, called Ea. The theme emphasizes harmony, creativity, and the idea that everything in existence originates from a cosmic music woven by divine beings, highlighting Tolkien’s themes of divine origin and the importance of artistic expression.
