GONDOR REBORN, a Fourth Age theme for
Gondor, is built off the
Minas Tirith theme,
Gondor Reborn represents "Gondor's
rightful place in Middle-earth is restored. Gondor has a new,
just king; evil is vanquished; and Middle-earth begins its new
era of peace." (Doug Adams, CR-ROTK liner notes, page 19)

Places
this theme is heard in
ROTK:
-
A brief phrase plays as Sam notes
that, as sun falls on the fallen statue, the "King has a crown
again".
-
As first Gandalf and then Aragorn
breathe a sigh of relief as they realize that the Ring has truly
been destroyed. The Great Eye explodes sending a shock wave
through air and ground. Merry triumphantly shouts, "Frodo!
Frodo!" and Gimli shakes his fists in joy. In the movie, the
music heard here is tracked in from the coronation scene. On the
CR-ROTK, you can hear a different version of the same Gondor
Reborn theme. The version heard on the CR-ROTK is a bit
brighter.
-
As the camera (leaving Frodo's sick
bed) pans up to the top tier of Minas Tirith, over the crowd of
onlookers, to the steps of the citadel where
Gandalf takes a crown from
Gimli and holds it aloft over Aragorn's head. (As the crown
touches his head, the music switches to the Gondor Theme.)
