'''From the Vault''' is the twelfth track (Disc 2 Track 5) included in ''[[Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack]]''.
'''From the Vault''' is the twelfth track heard on the [[Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack]].  
 
==Overview==
Rather than being a purely original theme, the track is a medley of various musical themes from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]'', ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]'', and ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', to the same tempo and percussion rhythm.
 
The piece opens with the opening drumroll from the earlier track ''[[Winter Contingency (music)|Winter Contingency]]'', followed by a low tempo tribal percussion. The pieces or themes featured, in order, are:
*The opening strings of ''[[Farthest Outpost]]'' (0:26-1:12)
*The choir of ''[[Impend]]'' (1:12-2:11)
*The choir of ''[[The Maw (music)|The Maw]]'' (2:11-2:40)
*The strings of ''Weight of Failure'' from ''[[Prologue (music)|Prologue]]'' (2:40-3:25)
*The choir of ''Overcome'' from ''[[Behold a Pale Horse]]'' (3:25-4:59)


==Appearances==
==Appearances==
This track appears in-game in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' campaign level ''[[The Package]]'', but only within the [[Tribute Room]], playing alongside the ''[[Siege of Madrigal]]''. A small section from its opening, however, is played in the mid-level cutscene of the campaign level. Its tribal percussion plays as [[NOBLE Team]] look at the [[Babd Catha Ice Shelf|Babd Catha]] [[Babd Catha Forerunner vessel|Forerunner vessel]].
This track appears in-game in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', but only within the bonus [[Tribute Room]], playing alongside the [[Siege of Madrigal]]. Rather than being a purely original track, the piece is a mixture of various songs found on other Halo soundtrack albums, including excerpts from [[A Walk in the Woods]] ([[Halo Original Soundtrack|Halo Soundtrack]]), [[Prologue]] and [[Delta Halo Suite]] ([[Halo 2 Original Soundtrack|Halo 2 Soundtrack]]), and [[Farthest Outpost]] and [[Behold a Pale Horse]] ([[Halo 3 Original Soundtrack|Halo 3 Soundtrack]]).


==Production notes==
==Trivia==
The namesake of the piece is a reference to the unique mixture of tracks that are taken from other soundtrack albums; thus, "from the vault." It may also be a reference to the fact it plays only within the Tribute Room, which is both a "vault" of past ''Halo''/[[Bungie]] pieces and the well hidden and safeguarded lab of Dr. Halsey.
