"'''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]].


==Composition==
Essentially it is a compiled orchestration of the major pieces that represent Organization XIII throughout the series. The score includes noticable elements from:
"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.
*Another Side; used in the Kingdom Hearts Final Mix secret movie Deep Dive, which introduces Organization XIII.
**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 Another Side.
**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 Axel and Luxord in Kingdom Hearts II.
*The 13th Dilemma; boss theme of Demyx at Hollow Bastion, Xaldin, Xigbar, and Saix. Based on the faster portion of Another Side.
*The 13th Reflection; boss theme of the five Absent Silhouettes in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+.
*Lord of the Castle; boss theme of Marluxia's third and final form, exclusive to Re:Chain of Memories.


"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.
Not all Organization XIII related tracks were used. These are:
*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.
*Tension Rising; battle theme of most story-related Nobody battles, including the Twilight Thorn.
*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.
