A couple of years ago there was a contesting piece in the Eurovision Song Contest that the composer claimed to be in a conlang. It may have been the Belgian contribution. I think it was discussed here, so search the archives. There is a song in Esperanto in the movie Road to Singapore. The film is in the public domain, so the song may be as well. (Btw, if anyone knows where to download the film, please let me know.) I seem to remember that there is music in the Zenturadi language in the Japanese movie Macross: Do You Remember Love? I am also fairly sure that Enya had a song on one of her recent records in a conlang of her own (thus not Tolkien-related). And I have this nagging feeling that a Swedish choir made an entire record in Transpiranto, which is an Esperanto travesty. If there is genuine interest, I might be able to find out the details.
