Re: Enya in Quenya (and other conlang music)?

The best example is probably Magma (French/Euro prog-rock band headed by
Christian Vander) but I know Sally Oldfield, sister of Mike, brought out an
album several years ago called (I believe) Water Bearer which had some
extremely Quenya-like lyrics in it. From memory -and we're talking 20 years
ago, so bear with me! - were something like "He ana kielessa niovya ya". I
believe kiele- means 'tongue' in Finnish. But somewhere else in the song
there was mention of, among others, the Moriquendi. So Tolkien was the
inspiration rather than Finnish.
