Préludes No. 4: Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir |
On Deck is the fortieth track in the Halo 5: Guardians Original Soundtrack. The track, along with Préludes No. 4: Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir, was released as an exclusive digital download for purchases of the soundtrack's limited edition release.
Overview[edit]
The piece immediately springs to life as the synth drum kicks in, followed by strings weaving a fast-paced, urgent melody. This symphony builds upon a motif as the synth drum maintains its steady rhythm. With a gradual crescendo, the low brass and a high-pitched choir subtly rise, bringing a sense of anticipation and relief as they reach the peak. The strings re-emerge alongside the drums, driving towards a climactic moment where the brass claims the spotlight, hitting a resonant high note before everything subsides. The brass then continues, now accompanied by snare drums and cymbals, leading to a final flourish. The original motif returns, less urgent and more subdued, gently guiding the piece towards a concluding crescendo.
