Here is the list of musical themes representing towns.

Castle

The theme of Castle is a solemn and calm melody in A major played by violins. Woodwind trills resemble horses' neighing, which is a reference to Cavaliers as well as to Knight heroes, while bell tolls are an allusion to Monks and Cleric heroes.

Rampart

Rampart has possibly the mildest and most benevolent town theme in the whole game. It is a Celtic-like melody accompanied by a harp, written in G minor. Rampart theme has a brief intro and ending, both featuring melodies by wind instruments.

Tower

The theme of Tower (D minor) is the longest and most developed in the game. It's a cycle of variations on a waltzing melody which gets more and more courageous and warlike. Passages of flutes and violins depict flying snowflakes, since Tower's native terrain is Snow, while using of choir and pitched percussion creates an enchanted atmosphere, as Tower is one of the most magical Heroes 3 towns.
