Title: Serenity
Game: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Composer: Hiroki Morishita
Arranger: Francesco Berrett
Featuring: Francesco Berrett, Nailah Harris

Central to Fire Emblem: Awakening’s soundtrack is the “Id” theme. The piece is the main character motif, and it appears in many iterations, most famously in “Id: Purpose.” Here, the Serenity version of the theme is reorchestrated for piano and cello, mixed in with references to other introspective pieces from the Awakening soundtrack.
