** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM1I0IngBmA Haven battle theme]]. It really gets you pumped for the battle.

* The [[https://youtu.be/QC1kD63fZMA Fortress Theme]] is a powerful piece that fits the fire-and-forge motifs of the dwarves, and this also extends to their [[https://youtu.be/f_nUM3k4R8A battle theme]]. They also have the [[https://youtu.be/q21pBgqbGwQ longest siege theme]], which totally fits [[MightyGlacier their rock solid]] [[StoneWall defensive capabilities]].

* The [[https://youtu.be/tx6R3YgmK0s Academy Theme]] goes perfectly together with the impossible SceneryPorn of a flying magical city.

%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqZP-WlysZM Warlock Theme.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFQBqKILEbo The Knight Town theme]] from ''The Price of Loyalty'' starts with a beautiful piano melody, then transforms into a grand and evocative orchestral piece. The track was so good it was remade as the "scenario victory" theme in ''Heroes III''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzuCcyl6cfo The original Knight theme]] is a cheerful and bombastic operatic piece, fitting for the primary heroes of the game.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPyi2YJhsj8 Barbarian Theme.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z_avCG9tPs Sorceress Theme]] is a cathartic, soaring track with epic vocals that is totally worth listening to for its full 4 minutes.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVeH-WSIOa4 Castle (Knight) Theme,]] capturing the pride and glory of Erathia.
* The joyfully mad and chaotic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lQTbRY2xWY Necropolis (Necromancer) Theme.]]
* The serene and earthy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10pfxaWQsHA Rampart (Druid) Theme.]]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hbaNfHToT8 The first combat theme]] is a relatively quiet one, just appropriate enough for those small-scale battles in the early game.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSwATqPUsv0 The second one]], despite not really fitting the slow-paced tactical battle gameplay, is almost immediately recognized by just about every ''Heroes of Might and Magic 3'' fan out there. Some people even note that it just doesn't sound the same without the constant sound of troops moving and attacking.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea5RiOfcF6k The third theme]] immediately starts out fast-paced and stays that way for the entire time you'll be hearing it.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ObS62Js-4 And finally, the fourth battle theme]] is also one of the quieter slow-paced ones, but has a particular sense of finality to it, perfectly fitting for a final decisive battle.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhcqKchilEE scenario victory theme]] is just the right track to hear after a particularly tedious or difficult map, and will probably make you shed a few tears just from how utterly glorious it sounds.

One of the things the ''Heroes'' games are known for is their excellent soundtrack. It's easier to list the ones that ''won't'' qualify on this list.

Rob King and Paul Romero never seemed to get the credit they deserved for their amazing work with the ''Might and Magic'' themes and the spin-off series ''Heroes of Might and Magic''. [[http://www.gamespot.com/features/tenspot_music/page6.html The music for Heroes II was even praised by Gamespot!]]

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2fN8KSOJPRoE8PSN2ZtYA Heroes Orchestra]], based in Poland, perform good old Heroes music live, often with the help of Paul Anthony Romero himself. Their orchestrations sometimes follow the original tracks exactly, sometimes expand on them (usually with epic choir vocals and instrumental solos), and sometimes are merged into medleys. (The orchestra perform music from other games as well, such as VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft.)
