Though the points made may seem familiar, the below has some soundclips identifying some of the themes:

Just a note: I somewhat perpetuated the misconception that 'Serafina Pekkala' had a 'theme' of her own. As Desplat has sinced clarified in interview - and as a viewing of the film will clearly demonstrate - this is a heroic theme for Lyra herself.
