Re: Lilly's Anticipation

Lilly, you mentioned the "yet-unheard Gondor theme" in your post. I think it is possible that we may have heard a very small portion of this theme in FOTR when Gandalf goes to Minas Tirith to search for information about the Ring. If I remember correctly, the music I am referring to plays while the city is shown from the outside (with a few birds flying around) and maybe a little as Gandalf is led through the city to the archives. This music has a lot of horns and definitly sounds 'heroic' enough to be the Gondor theme. Also, I don't remember that music appearing anywhere else in the movies although I don't have time to check that out for sure.
