That Namarie thread made me think, over the years I've run into some really interesting music written by LotR fans, or even written for something entirely different but LotR-ish in sound. Here's some of it, you might enjoy listening:
Lineage
Lineage, video game music by Bill Brown, isn't written for Lord of the Rings, but it has obvious influences and is generally really nice to listen to. Sprunk gave me that link.
Fellowship Going South
Scroll down to Fellowship Going South. A Filk Song by Leslie Fish, I expect from about the seventies, though I may be off. It is written based on LotR, and is one of my very favorites.
Edgen
I found this Justin R. Durban fellow's "Rise and Fall of Middle Earth" through TORn fan music, and his site has grown up a lot since I first found it, but he writes generally fantasy-themed cinematic music. It's nice to listen to.
The Hunt for Gollum
Click "Soundtrack" to listen to two pieces from the soundtrack for this fan film, composed by Chris Bouchard. It's decent stuff, obviously written as a continuation of Howard Shore's themes, but I think worked to fit the cues of the fan film. Really well done.
Enjoy the music! And if you have any other composers or bits of music to share, please do.
