"Aerith's Theme" also known as "Aeris' Theme", is an important track in Final Fantasy VII, played at various stages of the game, during the fight with Jenova LIFE and during the preceding scene. The theme "Flowers Blooming in the Church" is a remix of Aeris's Theme.
Aerith's theme is played just after the infamous scene in which Sephiroth kills her. Just a moment after her death the music still plays when you are in the fight with Jenova LIFE which replaces the boss theme for that meantime. It is also played during the ending after the final boss battle with Sephiroth when Cloud sees Aerith's hand representing the Lifestream.

[edit] Aerith's Theme and the Aria di Mezzo Carattere
Among many fans there exists the belief that Aerith's Theme may have been inspired by or based upon Final Fantasy VI's Aria di Mezzo Carattere. The reason for this stems from many similarities between the songs: the musical scales in which both tracks are written, D-major, similar chord changes, and the fact that they share several notes in their central melodies. There is no source, though, that points the Aria as being the base for Aerith's Theme.
