"Seiken Densetsu: Heroes of Mana Original Soundtrack" is a soundtrack album of music from "Heroes of Mana", known as "Seiken Densetsu: Heroes of Mana" in Japan. The soundtrack was composed by Yoko Shimomura. The musical style of the tracks is primarily orchestral, with the addition of a strong piano and drums that sometimes verge on a more tribal rhythm. The soundtrack features 49 tracks on 2 discs and spans a duration of 2:24:28. Three of the game's tracks were released as part of "Drammatica: The Very Best Works of Yoko Shimomura", an arranged album highlighting the composer's work: "To the Heroes of Old ~Opening Theme from Heroes of Mana~", "The Way the Heart Is" (as "Tango Appassionata"), and "The Tale Told by the Wind ~Ending Theme from Heroes of Mana~". Shimomura carefully chose the songs to be included on the album based on their apparent popularity among fans and how suitable they are for orchestra. The "Heroes of Mana" soundtrack was published by Square Enix on April 18, 2007 with the catalog numbers SQEX-10095~6.
