'''Overture''' is the first track heard on the ''[[Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack]]''. It contains the tracks ''From the Beginning'', ''Swift'', ''Strong'', ''Brave'', ''Immemorial'', ''Remember Reach'' and ''The Fall''. 

==Appearances==
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''.

==Trivia==
''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]

''Swift'', ''Strong'', ''Brave'' is a possible reference to the beginning of Halo 3 when Cortana is describing Master Chief. "Like the others, you were strong, and swift, and brave; a natural leader..."

-==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.

-''Immemorial'' (1:17) is strings-only version of ''Kat’s Plan'' (from the later track ''[[Long Night of Solace (music)|Long Night of Solace]]''), which has incorporated the first phrase from ''Halo Theme'' into its suspenseful melody. This piece plays in the menu of ''Halo: Reach''.
-===Remember Reach===
+===Additional information===
-''Remember Reach'' (0:30) features brass playing a solemn melody. This piece plays in the menu of ''Halo: Reach''.
+*From the Beginning: 0:14
+*Swift, Strong, Brave: 1:47
-===The Fall===
+*Immemorial: 1:17
-''The Fall'' (0:56) is a strings-only version of second section melody from the later track ''[[Ashes]]''. This piece plays in the menu of ''Halo: Reach''.

-==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]].
