The Shepherd's Boy. "Breaking the Wall" comes from an YouTube video description (even if it's from the Doctor Who YouTube channel), while "The Shepherd's Boy" is the name given in an officially released soundtrack
Talk about it here.
"Breaking the Wall" also known as "The Shepherd's Boy", is a musical theme composed by Murray Gold. It appears prominently during the Twelfth Doctor's era, most famously during the climactic scene of Heaven Sent, during which the Doctor punches the Azbantium wall. Other versions of it are also heard during the Doctor's climactic battle with the Cybermen in The Doctor Falls and during his regeneration in Twice Upon a Time.
The piece was first officially released as a video clip from The Finale Countdown, a screening of World Enough and Time that featured that episode's score and other pieces of Murray Gold's music performed live by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales conducted by Alastair King.
The theme is in 3/4 time, loosely based on a part of "I Am the Doctor" and "The Majestic Tale (Of a Madman with a Box)" that was first heard in 4/4 time in the track "This Time There's Three of Us" from The Day of the Doctor, while the three Doctors devise their plan in the barn.
