| | "'''The 13th Anthology'''" is a musical composition by Yoko Shimomura that appears in the album ''drammatica: The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura''. The piece is a medley of several themes from the [[Kingdom Hearts (series)|''Kingdom Hearts'' series]] that represent [[Organization XIII]]. |
|
| |
|
| Essentially it is a compiled orchestration of the major pieces that represent [[Organization XIII]] throughout the series. The score includes noticable elements from:
| | ==Composition== |
| *Another Side; used in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'' secret movie [[Deep Dive]], which introduces Organization XIII. The first piece then reprises as the last piece at 6:10.
| | "The 13th Anthology" is six minutes and 38 seconds long. While the medley is re-orchestrated, the instrumentation generally parallels that of the original tracks, with an emphasis on piano and violin. |
| **Organization XIII; theme music of the Organization in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. Based on the first portion of Another Side
| |
| *The 13th Struggle; The boss theme of all Organization members in ''Chain of Memories'', except for [[Marluxia]], repeated for Organization XIII members Sora and Roxas fights alone ([[Axel]], [[Luxord]]). Plays at 1:01.
| |
| *The 13th Reflection; boss theme of the five [[Absent Silhouette]]s in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+''. Plays at 2:10.
| |
| *Graceful Assassin; the boss theme of Marluxia's first form in Chain of Memories and Re:Chain of Memories. Highly based off and similar to, but not to be confused with, Another Side. Plays at 2:51.
| |
| *The 13th Dilemma; boss theme to fights with Organization 13 when Sora is with his friends, ([[Demyx]] at Hollow Bastion, [[Xaldin]], [[Xigbar]], and [[Saïx]]). Based on the faster portion of Another Side. Plays at 3:15 following the pause after Graceful Assassin.
| |
| *Lord of the Castle; boss theme of Marluxia's third and final form, exclusive to Re:Chain of Memories. Plays at 4:06.
| |
| What is common about these pieces is that they all share at least a piece of the melody of Another Side and thus are included.
| |
|
| |
|
| Conversely, these Organization XIII related tracks were not used due to lacking any portion originating from Another Side. These are:
| | "The 13th Anthology" begins with "[[Another Side]]", the song that accompanied Organization XIII's first appearance in ''[[Another side, Another story...]]''. This first part of "Another Side" is melodically identical to "{{c|Organization XIII|track}}", the Organization's main theme, and the motifs from this track are present in every piece selected as part of the medley. This introduction transitions into sections based on various boss themes of Organization members: "[[The 13th Struggle]]", "[[The 13th Reflection]]", and "[[The 13th Dilemma]]". The final song to be introduced is "[[Lord of the Castle]]", the final boss theme of [[Marluxia]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]''. Following, the melody of "Another Side" returns in the track's conclusion. |
| *Disappeared; boss theme against Unknown in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', repeated for his true identity Xemnas in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
| |
| *The 13th Floor; Theme of [[Castle Oblivion]]
| |
| *Thirteenth Discretion; theme of the Organization in ''Chain of Memories.''
| |
| *Castle Oblivion; theme of the Castle Oblivion level in ''Chain of Memories''.
| |
| *Scythe of Petals; boss theme of Marluxia's second form in ''Chain of Memories'' and ''Re:Chain of Memories''.
| |
| *Sacred Moon; theme of [[The World That Never Was]]
| |
| *A Fight to the Death; first final boss theme of ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
| |
| *Darkness of the Unknown; second final boss theme of ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
| |
| *[[Destati]]; though not an Organization song, the third tier of Darkness of the Unknown begins with Destati and is meant to represent [[Xehanort]], Xemnas' original self. Also, Destati is a separate piece in the album, as mentioned.
