The '''music of the [[video game]] ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''''' was composed by regular series composer [[Nobuo Uematsu]]. The ''Final Fantasy VI Original Sound Version'', a compilation of all the music in the game, was released in Japan by [[NTT Publishing]] in 1994 and re-released by [[Square Enix]] in 2004. The album was released by [[Square Co.]]/NTT Publishing in North America in 1994 under the name ''Kefka<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Domain''. Selected tracks from the official soundtrack were later released as part of the ''Music From FFV and FFVI Video Games'' album that was included with the release of ''[[Final Fantasy Anthology]]'', and two [[EP]]s were produced containing character theme tracks entitled ''Final Fantasy VI Stars Vol. 1'' and ''Vol. 2''. A special [[orchestra]]l [[arrangement]] of selected tracks from the game, arranged by Shiro Sagisu and Tsuneyoshi Saito and performed by the Milan Symphony Orchestra, was released under the title ''Final Fantasy VI Grand Finale'' by NTT Publishing in 1994 and 2004, and a collection of [[piano]] arrangements, arranged by Shirou Satou and performed by Reiko Nomura, was released under the title ''Piano Collections Final Fantasy VI'' by Square/NTT Publishing in 1994 and by NTT Publishing in 2001. Additionally, a single containing unused and remixed songs from the game was released as ''Final Fantasy VI Special Tracks'' by NTT Publishing in 1994.
The music received very positive reviews, with reviewers finding it to be one of the best video game music soundtracks ever composed. Several songs, particularly "Aria di Mezzo Carattere", remain popular today, and have been performed numerous times in orchestral concert series such as the ''Dear Friends: Music from Final Fantasy'' concert series and the [[Orchestral Game Concert]] series. Music from the soundtrack has also been published in arranged albums and compilations by Square as well as outside groups.
