| ==Overview== | | ==Appearances== |
| ===From the Beginning===
| | The soundtrack can be heard in the main menu of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. Various parts of it can also be heard in-game throughout the different campaign levels and cinematics. Several motifs are used in the other tracks of ''Halo: Reach Soundtrack''. |
| ''From the Beginning'' (0:17) features vocals and strings playing a rising progression, which echoes the first phrase of the opening Gregorian chant in the ''[[Halo Theme]]''. This piece plays when first entering the [[main menu|menu]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Swift, Strong, Brave=== | | ==Trivia== |
| ''Swift, Strong, Brave'' (1:47) opens with a percussion solo from ''Pounding the Pavement'' (from ''[[Neon Night]]'' in ''[[Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack]]'') before joined by strings and piano playing a grand melody. The melody plays in variations, soon accompanied by vocals. Together they invoke the opening Gregorian chant from the ''Halo Theme'' before ending with a drumroll. This piece plays in the menu of ''Halo: Reach''. A percussion-only version plays in the level ''[[The Package]]'', when [[NOBLE Team]] defends [[Catherine Halsey]]’s lab from the second wave of Covenant, and in ''Halo: Reach'' [[Firefight]], during the final wave of a round. | | ''Swift'', ''Strong'', ''Brave'' contains the percussion from the last part of [[Neon Night]] from the ''[[Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack]]''. It also resembles ''Rhythm Sketch Variant'', which can be found [http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo/asset_thumb_viewer.aspx?at=55&cc=25 here] |

| ==Production notes==
| |
| *The name ''From the Beginning'' derives from the tagline, “From the beginning, you know the end.” | |
| *The name ''Swift, Strong, Brave'' is likely a reference to the ''[[Halo 3]]'' campaign level ''[[Arrival]]'', when [[Cortana]] is describing Spartan-IIs and [[John-117]]: "Like the others, you were strong, and swift, and brave; a natural leader..." | |
| *Like ''[[Remembrance]]'' from ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]'', ''Immemorial'' is approximately 1 minute and 17 seconds long, a reference to John-117. | |
| *''The Fall'' alludes to the [[Fall of Reach]]. | |
