The composer, Michiru Yamane, created a wide range of musical types for her pieces, and it lends to the game very well in creating unique moods for every area. As an example, The Royal Chapel's theme, "Requiem for the Gods," consists of still, ancient vocals, tolling bells, an organ, and a steady, reserved drum beat to maintain a flow. The Underground Cavern's theme opts for a more modern style, employing a deep bass and a mysterious, contemporary-jazz tone with its piano and distorted drums. Elements range from dark strings with a driving beat, to rock melded with an orchestra. There even are different theme songs for the Inverted Castle. Most take on a chaotic or sprawling nature. The dominant melody that plays is "Finale Toccata," possibly the darkest song of the game, and is comparable to one of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Art of Fugue" compositions. Yamane added in some remixes of songs from previous games, such as Richter Belmont's theme from Castlevania: Dracula X, and "Dance of Illusions," Dracula's most famous battle theme from the series. The disc's final song, "I am the Wind," played during the game's ending credits, is performed by Cynthia Harrell. Harrell later sang the theme for the Konami hit, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
