'''Exodus''' is the seventh track (Disc 1 Track 7) included in ''[[Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays mainly in the ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' campaign level ''[[Exodus]]''. It is composed of ''Before the Fire'' (0:00-1:29), ''The Sky's No Limit'' (1:29-2:33), ''The Other Side'' (2:33-3:15), ''City Under Siege'' (3:15-5:43), ''Few More Days'' (5:43-6:43), and ''Apology'' (6:43-7:18).
'''Exodus''' is the seventh track heard on the [[Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack]].


==Overview==
==Appearances==
===Before the Fire===
The song is heard on the seventh campaign level in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', [[Exodus]].
''Before the Fire'' (1:29) opens with high strings playing the strings part of ''My Heart Breaks'' on a higher register. Low strings and choir then join in and they play the string melody from the ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]'' track ''[[In Amber Clad]]'', and slowed down for an ending. The piece plays in the opening cinematic.


===The Sky's No Limit===
==Trivia==
''The Sky's No Limit'' (1:04) fades in with twinkling effects, followed by tribal percussion accompanied by strings. The percussion rhythm repeats with higher intensity each time, then the piece ends with strings. The twinkling effects are played when [[SPARTAN-B312]] encounters [[Suicide Unggoy]] in [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]].
*This is the last song on the first disc of the Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack.
*The song bears some resemblance to [[Skyline]] from the [[Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack|Halo 3: ODST Soundtrack]].
*This is one of the few pieces in the Halo: Reach Soundtrack to use material from previous Halo Soundtracks. The melody of [[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]] from the [[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]] is played and expanded upon at the beginning of the piece.


===The Other Side===
===Additional information===
''The Other Side'' (0:42) features pulsing synth effects and a high tempo string melody. The melody repeats and ends with the synth effects. The piece plays when Noble Six is clearing the landing pad at [[Traxus Tower]].
*Before the Fire: 1:29
*The Sky's No Limit: 1:04
*The Other Side: 0:42
*City Under Siege: 2:28
*Few More Days: 1:00
*Apology: 0:32


===City Under Siege===
{{Halo Music}}
''City Under Siege'' (2:28) is a strings-only version of ''Latchkey'' from the earlier track ''[[ONI: Sword Base (music)|ONI: Sword Base]]''. The piece plays when Noble Six is riding the [[UH-144 Falcon]] to [[Caracalla Park]].
[[Category:Halo: Reach OST]]
 
===Few More Days===
''Few More Days'' (1:00) opens with quick percussive beats. Low strings enter with a heavy melody. The melody repeats with the percussion in accompaniment before ending with a dissonant chord. The piece plays after Noble Six activates one of the two [[M95 Lance]]s in the park. Parts of the piece also play during [[Invasion]], whenever [[Sangheili|Elite]] players enter the next phase and when they win the round.
 
===Apology===
''Apology'' (0:35) features the low strings melody from the second half of the later track ''[[We're Not Going Anywhere]]''. The piece plays in the ending cinematic, when [[Catherine-B320]] hails Noble Six.
 
==Production notes==
*The name ''Before the Fire'' likely alludes to New Alexandria's pre-[[Glassing|glassed]] state in ''Exodus'' before the following level, ''[[New Alexandria]]'', during which the Covenant glasses the city. The name also bears reference to a particular line stated during the third ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Terminal (Halo 3)|Terminal]].
*The name ''The Sky's No Limit'' is a reference to [[Bullfrogs]] and Noble Six using the [[Series 8 jetpack]] to traverse the [[New Alexandria cargo port]].
*The name ''City Under Siege'' refers to the [[Siege of New Alexandria]].
*The name ''Apology'' refers to Noble Six notifying Kat of [[Jorge-052]]'s death.
