A leitmotif is a repeating musical phrase that represents a character, setting, emotion, or theme. The term comes from the German words "leit" and "motif", which mean "leading" and "motive". Leitmotifs were popularized by German composer Richard Wagner in the 19th and 20th centuries. They were often used in opera to accompany a character or theme when they appeared on stage. In film music, a leitmotif can be a succession of notes, harmonic progressions, or rhythmic patterns. Some famous examples of leitmotifs in film scores include the main theme and "Imperial March" from John Williams's Star Wars score.

引领主题是代表人物、背景、情感或主题的重复音乐短语。 该术语源自德语单词“leit”和“motif”，意思是“引导”和“动机”。 主题曲在 19 世纪和 20 世纪由德国作曲家理查德·瓦格纳 (Richard Wagner) 普及。 它们经常在歌剧中用于在舞台上出现时为角色或主题伴奏。 在电影音乐中，主旋律可以是一系列音符、和声进行或节奏模式。 电影配乐中主旋律的一些著名例子包括约翰·威廉姆斯的《星球大战》配乐中的主题曲和“帝国进行曲”。
