'''Delta Halo Suite''' is the seventh track in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack#Volume 2|Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 2]]''. It is composed of ''Penance'' (0:00-2:32), ''Wage'' (2:32-5:14), ''Leonidas'' (5:14-7:42), and ''Dust and Bones'' (7:42-11:26). The first three parts were reorchestrated into ''[[Delta Halo Suite (Halo Legends)|Delta Halo Suite]]'' in ''[[Halo Legends: Original Soundtrack]]''.

''Penance'' (2:32) begins with a short reprise of ''Cold Blue Light'' from ''[[Prologue (music)|Prologue]]'' before male vocals take over, singing what Martin O'Donnell coined "''Halo 2'' monk theme".<ref>''[[Halo 3 Legendary Edition|Halo 3 Essentials]]'': ''Halo 2'' Developer Commentary</ref> It then transitions into the percussion and low strings of ''[[Heretic, Hero]]'', mixed with a high strings variation of the ''[[Halo Theme]]''. It is played during the opening cutscene of the level ''[[Delta Halo]]'', when {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} followed the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' to [[Installation 05]] via [[slipstream space]], and when [[John-117]] and the [[ODST]]s are dropped to the surface of the ring. The "''Halo 2'' monk theme" was incorporated into ''Great Journey'' (from the track ''[[Finale (Halo 2)|Finale]]'') as well as ''Cortege'' (from the track ''[[Sacred Icon Suite]]''), and then reinterpreted into ''We're Done Here'' (from the track ''[[Brutes (music)|Brutes]]'' in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'').

''Wage'' (2:42) begins with high strings, followed by militaristic percussion beat and drum roll with snare drums. A low bell chimes periodically. Strings enter, playing a low strings rendition of the synth notes from ''[[Under Cover of Night]]''. The drums enter high tempo, followed by the male vocals from ''[[Remembrance]]''. It is heard during the opening cutscene of the level ''[[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]'', and then again in ''[[Uprising]]'', during the chapter "Fight Club". The section with high tempo drumroll is played without its male vocal accompaniment at the beginning of the level ''[[Cairo Station]]'', when John-117 fights the first wave of boarders. The piece was reorchestrated into the second section of ''[[High Charity Suite 2]]'' in ''Halo Legends: Original Soundtrack'', then again into second section of ''[[Arise In Valor]]'' in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack]]''.

''Leonidas'' (2:28) is based on ''[[On a Pale Horse]]'' from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]'',{{fact}} featuring a high tempo melody played by strings, female vocals, and heavy percussive beats. The strings melody swells into a climatic reprise of the "''Halo 2'' monk theme" near the end. It plays in the level ''Regret'', during the two [[gondola]] sections. The piece was reorchestrated into ''Leonidas Returns'' from ''[[Three Gates]]'' in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'' and ''[[This Glittering Band]]'' in ''Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack''.

''Dust and Bones'' (3:44) is a strings-only version of ''[[Heavy Price Paid]]'' from ''Volume 1''. The name may be a reference to ''[[Dust and Echoes]]'' from the ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''. It plays briefly in the ending cutscene of the level ''Regret'', as John-117 jumps off the temple and sinks into the lake.

==Trivia==
The name ''Leonidas'' alludes to [[wikipedia:Leonidas I|Leonidas I]], the famous king of [[Wikipedia:Sparta|Sparta]], who led his troops at the [[Wikipedia:Battle of Thermopylae|Battle of Thermopylae]].
