Oh I love this so much! The beauty of the "language" here is bringing tears to my eyes and is so very in the spirit of Tolkien (and Daeron and Maglor as I imagine them, of course). A perfect title for the piece also. 

I know it's not for me but it feels like a gift to me so thank you for creating it 💖.

Thank you! (My inner closet-bling wouldn't let me not add sparkly aqua-coloured details!)

I cannot hear anything when looking at regular sheet music, whereas the Tibetan music really "spoke" to me and suddenly all made sense that one could communicate feelings through it.

Glad you like it!

This is so beautiful!!  It looks like clouds or waves.  Stunning

I adore the inspiration! (both the notation and the pairing)  And I love how you have worked this into thoughts about them (Polutropos is so good at drawing people into that pair!) 

💖

I'm so glad the clouds and waves come through for you — nature is so fractal: I was thinking/hearing water churning at the base of a waterfall with the spray evaporating in the sun, which is pretty similar on a smaller scale. Thanks for the lovely comment. (And yes, I hadn't even considered D and M as friends before Polu went and changed my view of them forever!)

I'm delighted this resonates with you, thank you! And so glad you appreciated the links too — I had such fun down fascinating rabbit holes, first with asemic writing and then the Tibetan music...

....and I feel sure that the elves would have something beautiful like this as an early form of musical notation. It would be an elegant secret message system as well.
