The Realm of Gondor, a theme for Gondor, has two settings: the “In Decline” one, as heard here when Boromir speaks of his father during the Council of Elrond, and the “In Ascension” one.
The In Decline setting, repeats a similar phrase twice and each time, although it ascends in places, it ends with a descension, a down note.
The In Ascension setting, begins in a similar manner as in the In Decline one, but instead of descending, it ascends in a phrase quite like The Heroics of Aragorn. This ascension phrase also forms Faramir and Denethor’s theme.
The iterations of the Gondor theme, as heard in the first two movies, all use the In Decline setting. It isn’t until ROTK that the In Ascension setting appears.
