  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

It begins playing as soon as the game loads and plays over the opening Menu Screen in a loop. However, if one continues to listen to "Dearly Beloved" without pressing any of the buttons on the controller for approximately 10–15 seconds, the screen will open up to ''Opening Menu Cinematic'' or ''Demo Loop'', which will play the orchestrated version of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' theme song.

Ultimately, the Keyblade wielders return with the Sound Ideas. The first Sound Idea retrieved is a string harmony, while the second is the main piano melody of "Dearly Beloved".<ref>The first character to complete the world always retrieves the harmony.</ref> Mickey informs each wielder that one Sound Idea is not enough; having faith in each other, Sora's and Riku's Sound Ideas appear in the other's worlds. When combined, they create a powerful song that frees Mickey and restores the world, allowing Sora to confront the [[Nightmare]] within the musical book.

==Composition==
==Composition==
"Dearly Beloved" contains two distinct melodies comprised out of identical chord structures, allowing them to be layered on top of each other. The second melody was introduced in "[[Always on My Mind]]" and was first incorporated into "Dearly Beloved" in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''. Every game which chronologically occurs after ''Kingdom Hearts'' features this secondary melody in its "Dearly Beloved", while games which take place before Sora's adventure omit it. (''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', which occurs before ''Kingdom Hearts'' but heavily connects to Sora, incorporates a statement of "Always on My Mind" but does not feature the pattern in the melody of the arrangment.)<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Fan Selection -Melodies & Memories-''''', '''Yoko Shimomura''': "I've said this many times so I'm sure many of you already know this, but, in every 'Dearly Beloved' for titles after KHII, I incorporated the first part of the melody of the song played during the ending of the first title 'Always on My Mind', but not in the Birth by Sleep version. Yes, because that game was set further in the past than the first title. I was particular about that." (Translation by [https://www.kh13.com/news/30404-kh-10th-anniversary-soundtracks-website-updated-with-bbs-3 goldpanner].)</ref><ref>'''''Famitsu Interview''''' (2011-02-16), '''Yoko Shimomura''': "KHII's 'Dearly Beloved' has a melody that quotes the phrase used at the ending of the first KH work, and that melody is also used in 'Dearly Beloved' that plays in subsequent works in the series. However, since 'BbS' is a story that takes place before the first work, I tried not to use that melody. (Translated.)</ref>

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', the main melody is performed as a piano solo with a synthesized choral background. The original ''Kingdom Hearts'' included the sound of ocean waves behind the instrumentation, and while still present in-game, the background sounds were not carried over to the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' album recording. This version is also used in the opening menu of ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]''.
*In ''Kingdom Hearts'', the main melody is performed as a piano solo with a synthesized choral background.
 
*The reprise of ''Kingdom Hearts'' features a bell solo with pizzicato strings as support.
"Dearly Beloved -Reprise-" features a bell solo with pizzicato strings as support.
*The ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' version contains the original melody played on the piano, along with the secondary melody played by a synthesizer.
 
*The ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' version transformed "Dearly Beloved" into a full orchestral piece, featuring a piano solo carrying the main melody and various woodwind solos building the secondary melody.
===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
*The reprise of the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' version contains the both melodies, but played as a piano solo.
The ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' version contains the original melody played on the {{w|celesta}}, along with the secondary melody played by a synthesizer. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', the primary melody is moved to piano and secondary melody to celesta, and both versions include choral support. The arrangement is overall similar to the original "Dearly Beloved". While composing the track, the game's themes of connected memories and timelines inspired Shimomura's use of "Always on My Mind" and the piece's overall tone.<ref>'''''[https://www.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/news/yoko-shimomura-dearly-beloved KINGDOM HEARTS: Memories of Dearly Beloved with Yoko Shimomura]''''', '''Yoko Shimomura''': "From the title of the game, I used the imagery of connected memories as inspiration to use a chorus and celesta. I wanted to create a hazy, somewhat ephemeral feeling in this track."</ref><ref>'''''KINGDOM HEARTS: Memories of Dearly Beloved with Yoko Shimomura''''', '''Yoko Shimomura''': "It's a theme that would run through later instalments{{sic}}, but the story of Chain of Memoires{{sic}} was more about 'time' than the previous game. I included the melody from the ending and credits from KINGDOM HEARTS 1 as a nod to this idea of a mixed timeline."</ref>
*''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' contains a nearly identical version of the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' "Dearly Beloved" reprise, only this time it has the flute used in "Roxas' Theme".
 
*''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' features a new orchestral arrangement of "Dearly Beloved", still featuring a piano as with the previous games but including a violin solo featuring a third theme exclusive to this game. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is the first game to change the chord structure of ''Dearly Beloved'', albeit briefly.
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
*''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'' contains a slightly faster version of the original ''Dearly Beloved'' theme. It features both the first and second melodies, with pizzicato string support.
The ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' version transformed "Dearly Beloved" into a full orchestral piece, featuring a piano solo carrying the main melody and various woodwind solos building the secondary melody.
*''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' contains a version of "Dearly Beloved" that retains the original theme with pianos, violins, glockenspiel, and plucked violins, then the melody is played with flute and then has a slightly quicker part where a tambourine comes into play. Unlike other versions, it also switches between a 4/4 and 3/4 time signature - a reference to the "3D" in the title according to Yoko Shimomura.

"Dearly Beloved -Reprise-" once again contains both melodies, arranged for piano by Kaoru Wada. It is played as a simple piano solo.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' arrangement, a flute brings the secondary melody to the foreground, while a piano plays the original melody behind it with accompanying strings. The tone of this version is sad and wistful and invokes a sense of longing, a parallel to [[Roxas]]'s tragic story.<ref>'''''KINGDOM HEARTS: Memories of Dearly Beloved with Yoko Shimomura''''', '''Yoko Shimomura''': "I wanted the track to have a kind of nostalgia, a longing for home, and a slightly anxious feel to it, that you can’t quite put your finger on. It’s quite difficult to put into words."</ref>
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''===
''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'' contains a slightly faster version of the original "Dearly Beloved" theme. It features both the first and second melodies with pizzicato string support. This arrangement has a lighthearted and playful tone, mirroring the tone of the game.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded Ultimania]]''''', '''Yoko Shimomura''': "I incorporated a sparkling feeling and simplified it, thinning down the sadness." (Translation by [http://www.kh2.co.uk/kingdom-hearts-recoded/news/kh-recoded-ultimania-interviews.php goldpanner])</ref>
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
The version introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' is also used in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]''. This is an orchestral arrangement of "Dearly Beloved". It still features a piano, as with the previous games, but it also includes a violin solo with some added original melody. This is the first arrangement to alter the chord structure of ''Dearly Beloved'', albeit briefly. It is an emotional arrangement, with both melancholy and vigor, reflecting the tone of the game.<ref>'''''KINGDOM HEARTS: Memories of Dearly Beloved with Yoko Shimomura''''', '''Yoko Shimomura''': "Compared to the original version, 'the past' was the main theme for this particular arrangement. I also thought about the strong bonds between the three main characters, and their tragic destiny. No matter how hard you wish for something, you can't always make it come true. Being swallowed up by an unavoidable destiny, but still wanting to keep your heart, never wanting to give up... I used the sorrowful violin in the middle of the track and the lively piano at the end to portray these themes and emotions."</ref>
 
===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
The ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' version of "Dearly Beloved" was arranged by Yoko Shimomura, as with the other games, while the performance was orchestrated and conducted by Kaoru Wada. It retains the original theme with pianos, violins, glockenspiel, and plucked violins. The melody is then passed to flute, followed by a colorful waltz-like part which includes a tambourine and quick clarinet ornaments. Unlike other versions, it also switches between a 4/4 and 3/4 time signature – a reference to the "3D" in the title, according to Yoko Shimomura.
 
In Symphony of Sorcery, the version of "Dearly Beloved" formed by Sora's and Riku's Sound Ideas is far simpler. It only features the main melody, played on piano, and a simple string backing. This arrangement is inspired by the original "Dearly Beloved" from ''Kingdom Hearts'', with the string part imitating the original's synthesized choral harmony.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts χ''===
The ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ]]'' arrangement begins with a unique piano section over a soft choir; here, notes of the primary melody play at half the regular frequency. It then transitions into a light and upbeat section prominently featuring mallet instruments, with support provided by strings. This arrangement is the first arrangement to not incorporate the secondary melody since its introduction in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Union χ''===
The version used in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]'' version is also used in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dark Road]]''. This arrangement is characterized by heavy usage of strings: the main melody is plucked, while the secondary melody and a steady  background section are bowed. A new descending piano pattern also repeats throughout the arrangement.
 
The credits of ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road'' feature a new version of "Dearly Beloved". It incorporates elements from the arrangements from ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts χ'', ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ'', and ''Kingdom Hearts III'', as well as "Dearly Beloved -Forest Memory-". There are also compositional similarities to the ''Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover'' arrangement.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover''===
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover]]'', the piece begins with a low piano backed by strings. Bells and a clarinet are added as the piece crescendos, while still maintaining a somber tone throughout.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
The arrangement of "Dearly Beloved" in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' by Yoko Shimomura and Yui Morishita is a {{w|piano concerto}}. Tetsuya Nomura ordered it to be based on the ''{{w|Transcendental Études}}'', a series of twelve compositions for piano by {{w|Franz Liszt}}. The melody in the introduction of the piece is different from any of the arrangements prior until the moment it becomes its usual melody.<ref>'''''KINGDOM HEARTS: Memories of Dearly Beloved with Yoko Shimomura''''', '''Yoko Shimomura''': "In the introduction, I wanted to create a little bit of doubt, to make something seem a bit different and strange - then follow it up with the familiar refrain, to make the listener feel as though they've come home."</ref><ref>[http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqr3b2 KH3 Ultimania: Interview with Yoko Shimomura (Music)]</ref> While initially relaxed and calm, this arrangement gradually builds up to a triumphant ending.
 
"Dearly Beloved -Forest Memory-" is a version that appears in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' and is more prominently featured in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind]]''. This version has the main melody on piano and the second melody on strings; the main distinguishing feature of this arrangement is the supporting flute ornaments. In addition, the arrangement subtly quotes the melodies of "{{c|Roxas|track}}"<!--Strings starting at 1:34-->, "{{c|Ventus|track}}", and "[[Musique pour la tristesse de Xion]]"<!--Piano starting at 2:00-->.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory''===
''[[Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory]]'' features an upbeat iteration of "Dearly Beloved" that retains the original theme played on piano and trumpets. This version takes influence from jazz.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link''===
Tomomichi Takeoka arranged and orchestrated the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link]]'' version of the track, marking the first time Yoko Shimomura did not arrange the title theme. Like the arrangements of the [[χ series]], it does not feature the secondary melody. The piece is upbeat with prominent vocals, stomps, and claps. New rhythmic patterns and melodic phrases are used throughout the piece, and the second half incorporates the swing rhythm of the ''Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory'' version.
 
===''Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts''===
The version of "Dearly Beloved" included in ''[[Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts]]'' is arranged by Natsumi Kameoka. This solo piano feature incorporates rhythms from the original ''Kingdom Hearts'' arrangement and shares similarities to the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' version of "Dearly Beloved -Reprise-". While initially simple, it gradually gets more complex as the piece progresses. Overall, it is a very calm arrangement. This version is also used in the opening menu of ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue]]''.
 
"Concert Paraphrase on 'Dearly Beloved'" is a piano solo, likewise arranged by Natsumi Kameoka. It takes far more liberties with the rhythms and melodies of "Dearly Beloved" while including complex piano runs and several original segments.
 
===''memória! ~ The Very Best of Yoko Shimomura''===
This version of "Dearly Beloved" was arranged by Yoko Shimomura and Hiroyuki Nakayama and performed as a piano duet. The introduction of this arrangement is based on "[[March Caprice for Piano and Orchestra]]". It is a very complex arrangement and features a brief change in time signature (from 4/4 to 3/4).
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Tribute Album''===
The arrangement featured in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Tribute Album]]'' was composed by {{nihongo|{{w|Suemitsu & the Suemith}}|スエミツ アンド ザ スエミス||headed by {{nihongo|Suemitsu Atsushi|末光篤}}}}. It is based on the original "Dearly Beloved" and only features the primary melody. The melody is played on piano, while the supporting instrumentation comprises of electronic percussion, synthesizer, and synthesized vocals (including the phrase "Dearly Beloved"), while the arrangement also contains a couple of bass drops. This cover could be described as {{w|Lo-fi}}.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Concert -First Breath-''===
Arranged by Kaoru Wada, the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Concert -First Breath-]]'' version of "Dearly Beloved" builds upon the themes introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. Piano, flute, clarinet, soft horns, strings, and bells carry the main portion of the piece, while tambourine and other percussion join in for the section in 3/4 time.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour-''===
The first wave of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour-]]'' concerts in 2017 used an arrangement is based off the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' version, while the encore performances in 2018 played the ''Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover'' version, both arranged for orchestra by Kaoru Wada. These versions retain all major elements of their respective original compositions while adapting the pieces for a full orchestra.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World of Tres-''===
The ''[[Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World of Tres-]]'' performances used the ''Kingdom Hearts III'' arrangement of "Dearly Beloved", once again adapted for full orchestra by Kaoru Wada.
 
===''Yoko Shimomura OFFICIAL'' YouTube Channel===
On June 13, 2020, Yoko Shimomura uploaded an original arrangement of "Dearly Beloved" to her official YouTube channel. Titled "A piece of 'Dearly Beloved'", it is arranged and performed by Shimomura on solo piano. This version incorporates elements of "{{c|Roxas|track}}" and "[[Musique pour la tristesse de Xion]]" in a major key. It is a calm and flowing piece.
 
On December 25th, 2020, Yoko Shimomura uploaded a special Christmas version of "Dearly Beloved", titled "A piece of 'Dearly Beloved' -2020 Xmas Ver.-", only available for a limited time.<ref>''[https://twitter.com/midiplex/status/1342473558287548420 「キングダム ハーツ」より A piece of "Dearly Beloved" Xmasバージョン'']</ref> The main piano line of this version stylistically similar to the previous arrangement on her channel, but the arrangement itself has many differences. It exclusively features the main melody of "Dearly Beloved", and its instrumentation adds a music box, bells, wind chimes, and a soft vocal backing, creating a very relaxed feeling.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts'' 20th Anniversary Event===
The ''Kingdom Hearts'' 20th Anniversary Event featured a live orchestral performance of "Dearly Beloved", with instrumentation consisting exclusively of strings and piano. It is a lively arrangement based on the ''Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link'' version.
