Best Answer

There are about 80 leitmotifs used for The Lord of the Rings soundtrack by Howard Shore. A way to categorize it, is that they are written for different settings. You have a theme for The Shire and the Hobbits, heard in the beginning of the movie, which follows Frodo and Sam all. through the movies when they remember or miss the Shire. The instruments used and the length of the theme is variated according to setting, but always recognizable.

Another leitmotif is the Gondor theme. It is played by two French horns in FOTR, when Boromir talks about Gondor at the council of Elrond, and it returns in the ending credits for The Two Towers played by a full orchestra, and is used a lot in the third movie, when we are in Minas Tirith or Aragorn talks about Gondor.

Hope this helped!
