Beyond the Door

Beyond the Door is a musical piece featured in both  and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It is included in the Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack, and the Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack Complete. The theme was also remastered as with all other music from the original game in the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX Original Soundtrack for the game of the same name. Its name refers to what lies beyond the Door to Darkness and the heart of all worlds: the great Kingdom Hearts itself. Its orchestration consists of pipe organ, synthesized chorus (which is replaced with real orchestrated chorus for HD 1.5 ReMIX), and tubular bells.
