Both of you are right! (Airehiel & HCIsland) - that Rohan music (with the Hardanger fiddle being used some places) is surely the main theme in TTT. Not so strange since so much of the movie is taking place there & involves their big battle against Saruman.<P>The Fellowship theme can be heard in TTT too. It is more used in FotR, of course, & can first be heard 'full-blown' ( ) right after the fellowship leaves Riwendell - & it's also obvious in Moria, right after the fellowship manages to get past the broken staircase, just before the Balrog.<P>& yes, the fellowship theme is on both soundtracks, as is the Hobbit theme & probably others. Shore uses a technique where certain themes are connected to either certain people or groups of people, or places, or both. So those 'key'-themes will appear in various forms throughout the movies where they fit. The technique is called using a 'leitmotif' (leading motive/theme).<P>[ January 22, 2003: Message edited by: mollecon ]<p>[ January 23, 2003: Message edited by: mollecon ]
