Composition[edit]

"Memories in Pieces" is approximately one minute and fifty-four seconds long and plays at a variety of tempos at different sections. The piece switches between time signatures and keys as the piece progresses. The piece opens with a slower version of "Hand in Hand," transitioning into a more ominous, mysterious section which incorporates elements from "Scent of Silence", heard in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories while Marluxia lures Sora to Castle Oblivion. The third section is a variation of "Naminé", briefly heard while Naminé is shown sketching. The fourth section interrupts the previous theme, using a driving eighth note pattern from the strings, piano, harp, and choir-ahs. This section is based off of "Castle Oblivion". The theme slowly crescendos into the climax of the entire piece, announcing the trio's arrival at Castle Oblivion. There is no difference of versions between games.
