The Rings of Power: What You Need to Know About the Music

An analysis of Bear McCreary’s primary themes for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. All transcriptions and analyses are my own.
After Bear's response (Twitter: 1563220868364263424) we now know that there are 2 more themes heard once each in the score, in the tracks "Nampat" and "The Mystics".
