Let's see...
Aniron is in E flat major, like Imladris said. It doesn't turn out well on the violin at all. It's definitely more of a vocal than instrumental piece.
In Dreams starts out in D major, and then halfway through switches to E major.
The Prophecy I believe is in A minor, but it has lots of accidentals.
Lament For Gandalf is also in A minor I think, with quite a few accidentals as well. It works very well as a duet (my friend and I did it on the violin -- very nice)
Many Meetings is in C major. It's got a whole lot of slurs to.
May It Be is in A major. It sometimes can be a bit difficult because it is a more vocal than instrumental piece, but it works much better than Aniron.

Those are all the pieces for FotR (unfortunately no music for Concerning Hobbits or The Bridge of Khazad Dum, which are two of my favorite pieces.

I don't have all the music from TTT, only Gollum's Song(I have no time to go and buy the rest [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] ). It is A minor with lots of accidentals.

Hope this helps!
