"'''Destati'''" ({{LangIta|Awaken!}}) is a musical composition by Yoko Shimomura that appears in the {{c|Kingdom Hearts|series|''Kingdom Hearts'' series}}. It is a major theme that represents [[darkness]] and its eternal conflict with [[light]]. Although the piece itself rarely appears in the series, the motifs of "Destati" are featured in many other compositions that appear in nearly every ''Kingdom Hearts'' installment.<!--Every entry but Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days, and 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- has a "Destati"-based track.--> | |||
==Development== | |||
"Destati" was the very first song composed for the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. Despite that, the full song did not appear in a game until ''[[Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory]]'' eighteen years later (as its ''[[Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour-]]'' incarnation), while the full original recording made for ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' did not appear in a game until ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' another year later.<ref>[https://twitter.com/KINGDOMHEARTS/status/1342123113882865664 Twitter (@KINGDOMHEARTS)], '''Yoko Shimomura''': "I've mentioned this a few times in interviews, but this is the first song I wrote for KINGDOM HEARTS. There have been performances of it in concerts, different arrangements of it and soundtrack recordings etc, but actually the first time it will be used in a game in its full "Destati" form is in Melody of Memory!"</ref> Additionally, according to Yoko Shimomura, "Destati" is somewhat of a "cursed song". The chorus is often used in other pieces, but whenever the chorus was loaded by Square Enix staff during the development of ''Kingdom Hearts'', something bad would happen, an example being the entire building's electricity getting cut off.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania]]''''', '''Yoko Shimomura''': "In the beginning and ending of the game, there is a song with a chorus. That chorus is a phrase that expresses the dark side of Kingdom Hearts, and it was used in several songs. However, once we tried loading the chorus data in when we were creating the songs, something bad would happen. The worst thing that happened was when the electricity to the building was cut off."

==Composition== | |||
"Destati" is approximately two minutes and fifty-five seconds in ''Kingdom Hearts''. In the [[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX|HD remake]] of ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', the piece is slightly shortened to two minutes and fifty-three seconds. In the ''Drammatica'' album, the piece is three minutes and twenty-one seconds.<!--KH: 4/4 time; 78bpm for intro--> | |||
The motifs introduced in "Destati" appear in many tracks throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, most commonly boss themes of those with close ties to darkness. | |||
{{sec-stub}} | |||
===Variations=== | |||
Elements of "Destati" are incorporated in many tracks throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. Numerous pieces are derived, in part or in whole, from the melodies of "Destati": | |||
*"[[Dive into the Heart -Destati-]]" | |||
*"{{c|End of the World|track}}" | |||
*"[[Fragments of Sorrow]]" | |||
*"[[Guardando nel buio]]" | |||
*"[[Dismiss]]" | |||

*"[[L'Eminenza Oscura II]]" | |||
*"[[My Heart's Descent]]" | |||
*"[[The Eye of Darkness]]" | |||
*"{{c|Replicas|track}}" | |||
*"[[Dark Domination]]" | |||
There are also many tracks that are not based on "Destati", but still incorporate certain features of the song. The phrase featured in the introduction of "Destati" is briefly quoted in "[[Darkness of the Unknown]]". The ascending five-note ostinato that repeats throughout the song appears in the foundation of several tracks, namely "[[Another Side]]", "[[Graceful Assassin]]", "[[Showdown at Hollow Bastion]]", and "[[Deep Drop]]". Similarly, the thumping bassline rhythm appears in "[[Blast Away! -Gummi Ship III-]]" and "[[Forgotten Challenge]]", with a more upbeat variation appearing in "[[Results and Rewards]]". Finally, the medleys "[[Fantasia alla marcia for piano, chorus and orchestra]]" and "[[Rhapsody in Tres for Piano, Chorus and Orchestra]]" include sections based on songs that incorporate pieces of "Destati". | |||
