"'''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]].


The 13th Anthology is essentially a compiled Orchestration of the major pieces that represent Organization XIII throughout the series. These tracks have something in common because they all share at least a segment of the melody of Another Side and thus are included.

"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.
