I'm talking about a piece of film score music (theme...melody) that appears in a score ONCE and ONCE ONLY!!
Like the Opening Titles theme from AUDREY ROSE by Michael Small.
Gorgeous.
But never referenced again throughout the score (another theme appears, not dissimilar, but never as lovely as the Main Title one).
Or the End Titles from THE SWARM by Jerry Goldsmith.
What a theme!
But that's IT!! THE END!!
Also, the Dack & Luke theme from THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.
Bloody Brilliant.
Although I can see why that never reappears, as Dack 'buys the farm' in the very next sequence.
Any you love that just came and went?

Tourists on the Menu from "Jaws". Understandable, of course. I could have listened to Williams do an entire film score like that back during his hey day. Thank goodness for that extended and some what different version on his MCA re-recording.

Rózsa’s Moonfleet score contains a lovely English Horn theme heard in the cue “Summerhouse,” but nowhere else in the score.

Ecstasy of gold only crops up in the cemetery scene towards the end of GBU.
The duel/ showdown In Face to Face only crops up the once.
The Slaughter only crops up the once, I think) in one of EMs Ringo scores.
The Showdown in La Reza Dei Conti only once( I think).

Where is this in the score?
There is a really cool, jaunty motif that Williams uses at starting at 2:15 on Main Title/Ice Planet Hoth from the RCA versions that I wish we could have heard more of. I also love how he reused the Speeder motif for the Rescue from Cloud City. So many fantastic little sub-themes in that score.
One of my favorites though is in Jurassic Park, at the end of Journey to the Island. We get this driving military sounding fanfare that takes us out of the wonder of the last few minutes and reminds us that things are not all what they seem. It's better than any theme I've heard in the last twenty years and Williams casually tosses it aside after a few bars. Brilliant!

"Where is this in the score?" (re Empire Strikes Back piece).
--------------
It plays as Luke and Dack climb into the snowspeeder, ready to take off to battle the AT-AT Walkers.
They exchange a bit of dialogue (Feeling Ready?...Ready to take on the world...I know what you mean).
It plays under that bit.
