'''Epilogue''' is the twelfth and final track in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack#Volume 2|Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 2]]''. It is composed of ''Beholden'' (0:00-1:03), ''Road to Voi'' (1:03-3:22), and ''Subsume'' (3:22-3:49).
'''Epilogue''' is the twelfth and final track from the [[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack|Halo 2 Original Soundtrack]] Volume 2.


==Overview==
It runs for 3:49 and contains the scores "Epilogue", "Beholden", and "Road to Voi" which run for 1:03, 2:19 and 0:27 respectively.  
===Beholden===
''Beholden'' (1:03) begins with two reprises of the opening string melody of ''[[Impend]]'' (itself a rearrangement of the ending to ''[[Brothers in Arms]]''). The second reprise features an electric guitar part played by American musician [[wikipedia:John Mayer|John Mayer]].{{Ref/Generic|Id=rtl|[[Remaking the Legend]]}} This piece plays first in the [[Halo 2 credits|ending credits]] in ''[[Halo 2]]''.


===Road to Voi===
American musician [[wikipedia:John Mayer|John Mayer]] played the guitar part in "Epilogue", but his involvement was kept a secret by Martin O'Donnell until the [[2014]] documentary [[Remaking the Legend]]. According to O'Donnell, there was no contractual agreement, and neither Microsoft or Mayer's agent were unaware of his contribution. Mayer wanted to keep it a secret and only so he could tell his friends he was featured in the game. The name of the final section, "Road to Voi", serves as a hint that ''[[Halo 3]]'' would have content related to [[Voi]]. The whole soundtrack was played in the ending credits in ''Halo 2''.
''Road to Voi'' (2:19) is a reprise of ''Respite'' from ''[[High Charity Suite]]'' featuring strings and horns. The piece plays last in the ending credits in ''Halo 2''.
 
===Subsume===
''Subsume'' (0:27) features eerie ambiance, and plays during the Epilogue cutscene, in which [[Gravemind]] approaches [[Cortana]] in the [[High Council Chamber]] of ''[[High Charity]]''.
 
==Production notes==
*The name ''Road to Voi'' alludes to the appearances of [[Tsavo highway (location)|Tsavo Highway]] and [[Voi]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''.
*John Mayer's involvement was kept a secret by Martin O'Donnell until the [[2014]] documentary ''[[Remaking the Legend]]''. According to O'Donnell, there was no contractual agreement between the parties, and neither Microsoft nor Mayer's agent were aware of his contribution. Mayer wanted to keep it a secret so he could tell his friends he was featured in the game.{{Ref/Reuse|rtl}}
