1. Foundation Main Title (01:26)*

2. The Only Story (02:45)

3. Gaal Leaves Synnax (04:04)*

The combination of Armenian duduk and Chinese erhu for Gaal Dornick's theme is gold! The melody highlights the tragedy of Gaal's loss in leaving her mother and father, presumably forever, and being cast out by her people, while the percussive rhythm signals her strength of character in pressing forward on the right course through these adversities.  This is among the best themes written in 2021.

5. The Imperial Library (03:49)
