The Fellowship Theme follows the story of the group of nine: initially it is heard tentatively as Frodo and Sam’s set out from the Shire, it develops gradually into it’s full heroic version (a sweeping piece of principally brass, timpani and orchestra) at the Council of Elrond and after Gandalf’s fall in Moria (the last time that the entire Fellowship is together) it begins degrading and is rarely heard in its full heroic manner again until the remainder of The Fellowship charge the Black Gate “The Mouth of Sauron” and “For Frodo” where it is sung by the choir.
Curiously, on the album, this theme is used once in conjunction with Haldir’s archers as they join Aragorn’s cause. Here the theme is extrapolated from its narrow meaning (which only encompasses the nine walkers) and is applied as a general idea of “fellowship” and friendship.
Here it is heard underneath the film’s title credit.
