Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	First line of Donald Swann's sheet music showing the monodic structure (a Gregorian plainchant) for Namárië, unlike all the other songs in his song cycle The Road Goes Ever On.
Author or copyright owner	Donald Swann
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	own scan from book The Road Goes Ever On, page 22
Date of publication	1967
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Namárië
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To show the unique musical structure of this song, which Tolkien hummed to Swann when he objected to Swann's proposed setting in this one case.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	Music is not really explicable purely with text or musicians and musicologists wouldn't bother with sheet music.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This is the only sample of Swann's setting of the song in the article, indeed the only example of any of his settings of Tolkien's poetry anywhere on Wikipedia. It is a single line from the setting (three pages of sheet music), and it is at the usual very poor resolution.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
