Sounds good! I know Howard Shore used a bit of the Dies Irae with his Ring theme, so connecting that motif to 'fate' rather than 'death' in our project might be good. I think it could work with your Doom piece, maybe. Certainly, I wasn't expecting these to be stand alone chants, but rather figured there would be opportunities to use chanting/singing (like in those two examples) to enhance a piece of music you were working on. I like both the Duel of the Fates and the Ringwraiths as pieces of music, so it would be really cool if we could do something like that!
Logistically, though...I imagine you'd have to figure out how to work it in before I could get a singer to do something with it? Or should I get a voice recording it and let you try to fit that to the music? Let me know if there's something useful I can do there!
And here is my updated "Oath of Fëanor" with some editorial help from Gladhaniel at TORc:

I don't know what piece of music to fit this to, but I figured it would come up when the Fëanoreans were making particularly regrettable decisions. So, in this season, during the Kinslaying, the Shipburning, the Death of Fëanor, and/or when they decide to leave Maedhros to his fate as Morgoth's prisoner. It might disappear for awhile, but it would certainly be back for the later Kinslayings.
