It is said somewhere in the letter given in the foreword to QS 77/01 (sorry, I brought only HoME I and IV with me) that even if all the music of the pantheon were combined, it would not equal the entire thought of Eru, or something like that. That's where the Third Theme (i.e., the Children of Ilúvatar) comes in. (someone I know)

If it still helps, I found it:
The Knowledge of the Creation Drama was incomplete: incomplete in each individual 'god', and incomplete if all the knowledge of the pantheon were pooled. For (partly to redress the evil of the rebel Melkor, partly for the completion of all in an ultimate finesse of detail) the Creator had not revealed all. The making, and nature, of the Children of God, were the two chief secrets.
