The Waters of Sirannon Pavan for Viola & Piano
David Lewiston Sharpe
Scoring Viola Piano
Duration: 3 mins approx.
Note Sirannon is a lake that features in J.R.R. Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings; it is a body of water that stands before the hidden door to Moria, and in which lives the Kraken, a version of the mythical sea creature. Here in Tolkien’s story it guards the entrance to the underground kingdom of Moria; the waters are still, but beneath the surface lurks an invisible threat.
