However, there | However, there are "oddities" - other musical pieces that were excluded from official releases. Most of the official ''Halo'' soundtracks do not contain every track heard in the games, such as variations of certain tracks or ambient tracks that went unreleased at the discretion of the composers/producers. Furthermore, marketing materials, such as trailers, often use music unrelated to the soundtrack of the media (e.g. ''Frederic Chopin's Prelude'' in ''Halo 3'' Believe diorama). These musical pieces may not be sufficiently notable to have their own pages, but their usage should be noted nonetheless. | ||
