Jon Can’t even pick a favorite song on this album. The whole thing is just beautiful. Really well done!

Bruno Hunger For me the proof whether it's not necessary to write special music in DS. It's truly about the atmosphere and which context is given.
Besides that, some songs are of course technically well written! The others catch this great story and atmosphere. Keep on! Favorite track: The Trolls Are Near....

Alderen Music for hazy meadows and sun-dappled forests, but not free from danger and darkness. Favorite track: The Trolls Are Near....

1.
A warm welcoming by the Gnomes into their kingdom! For a guest is of the utmost importance!
2.
Here, the gnomes lead us through the village. What sights there are! Small burrows, unbeknownst to passerby, lay entry to underground passageways that sprawl into cozy little gnome homes. Fairies bounce about, illuminating the abundant toadstools. A couple of them flit playfully past an elderly gnome weaving a basket.
3.
A feast for us is prepared by the gnomes, and before dining, they show us a celebratory tune for the Commune.
4.
As night fell, the gnomes led everyone of the forest ilk deeper, deeper into mysterious lands. Mushrooms painted the ground at foot, as if splattered by the massive pines around us deep in these northern woods. "Land of Elves & Gnomes" was played as the gnomes told us of their history and lore.
5.
But alas! As we were speaking of the ways of the forest, we were come upon by a nasty group of cave trolls! Like a flash, the fire went out entirely. All the fairies stopped dancing. There was not a sound to be heard as the gnomes led us away from the reeking trolls. The trolls were disoriented and stormed away, shouting vile threats into the pitch-black air.
6.
Quietly, all the gnomes grouped together. They decided to send everyone home, save for a group of well respected and particularly clever gnomes. Thus, they sent away into the night, with a pitter-patter, to find the troll nest and scare them away forever.
7.
Conical Caps 00:50
The gnomes dance in delight! For the trolls have been scared away from their nest, and the land was safe again. But there was a long way home, and it was black as pitch in the forest...
8.
The gnomes need not fear. Though the path home is long, the light of the fae will guide them there...
9.
The wisest of all was set to keep watch for the return of the heroic gnomes. "Get the children!" The bells are chimed, the fires are lit, and the whole Nisse village comes running from their homes to greet the homecoming folk.
10.
The return of the gnomes marks the end to a successful Commune! We have learned much from these mysterious creatures. The woods are safe once more.

about

Come, take a journey with me. The forests are lush and thriving.
Deep, past the meadows and the border of newly born pines, amidst the brambles and the bogs....

Commune of the Gnomes is the music that trickles behind dew-spattered mushrooms by the oak's root. It is an exploration into the Nisse, the Keepers of the Forest, the Gnomes.

Special thanks to Chieftan Conifer of Acheulean Forests.
