I thought Melkor made the music worse! ?? So what is the point/ meaning of the three themes.

Start...bad noise (thank-you Melkor)...new theme. Bad Melkor sound agin, (even worse than before)....Melkor actually takes over....sorry!! Iluvatar sternly gestures for a third and different theme, and it grows and takes power and now there are two themes playing simultaniously, conflicting, (elves and men?) Then, a grim faced Iluvatar stops it all in one all encompassing chord.

Ok, What does this mean!!! ( Is this shame that Melkor felt, the fuel that fires ALL of the anger?) Thoughts? opinions? ( once again, this might be a naive question, but isn't it all about the music? )
