bullet::::- "the history of the one ring" or the lord of the rings theme: a minor-key string melody plays over the "lord of the rings" title card for all three films. howard shore has considered this theme, more so than the shire or the fellowship theme, as the "main theme" of the score, given that its basic pitches are the basis for all the themes in the score. the statement in the title card of fellowship of the ring, which features the signature introduction figure, is tracked over several moments in that score, including frodo picking up the ring and gandalf explaining its origin to frodo, and eventually before frodo's confrontation with boromir. otherwise, it mostly appears when the ring switches owners: from sauron to isildur, from isildur to smeagol, from smeagol to bilbo and from bilbo to frodo. this theme appears briefly in the hobbit, woven into some of the early material, before appearing when bilbo finds the ring, now starting in a major mode. it appears in its definitive form as the trilogy comes to a close.
