'''Roll Call''' is the twenty-fifth track (Disc 2 Track 10) included in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays during the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Halo 3 credits|credits]], which is alluded in the title of the track. It is composed of ''Roll Call'' (0:00-1:10), ''Duty Bound'' (1:10-3:48), and ''Price Paid'' (3:48-5:57).
'''Roll Call''' is a soundtrack included in the [[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]. It includes the track Roll Call, Duty Bound, and Price Paid. It is played during the credits, which the title is a reference to, and a part is played during the first cutscene on the level [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]] and end cutscene of the level [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]. A certain part can be heard in the main menu of the the [[Halo 3: Mythic]] disc.


==Overview==
It starts with a low note by orchestra, quickly followed by a choir melody. This melody is almost the same as the Gregorian-style chant from the [[Halo Theme]], but it has slightly different chords at the end of each phrase, giving it a more uplifting mood. The music rises, then at 1:10, drums start their section of ''soft-soft-loud'' beats. Later, low wind instruments play a few notes. Following is a section the same as a part of [[Farthest Outpost]], composing mainly of low wind, drums, and orchestra. After that, drums take over again, with orchestra playing background melody, in a remix of [[Under Cover of Night]] with the [[In Amber Clad (music)|In Amber Clad]] bassline. At 4:00, a more minor melody takes over, mainly by piano. The piano melody continues to swell, then fade again. The melody speeds up at around 5:30, then slows again. The last note is played by high strings.
===Roll Call===
''Roll Call'' (1:10) is a reprise of ''Familiar Ring'' from the earlier track ''[[Gravemind (music)|Gravemind]]''. It starts with a low note by orchestra, quickly followed by a choir melody. This melody is almost the same as the Gregorian-style chant from the ''[[Halo Theme]]'', but it has slightly different chords at the end of each phrase, giving it a more uplifting mood.  
 
===Duty Bound===
''Duty Bound'' (2:38) begins with a reprise of ''[[Farthest Outpost]]'', including opening muted drums beats. However, after the percussion takes over with strings briefly playing the melody of ''Weight of Failure'' (from ''[[Prologue (music)|Prologue]]'' in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]''), the melody does not resolve. Instead, it transitions into strings playing the opening string melody from the track ''[[Follow Our Brothers]]'' (itself being a rearrangement of ''[[Under Cover of Night]]'' from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''), joined by the bassline of ''[[In Amber Clad (music)|In Amber Clad]]'' (from ''Halo 2: Original Soundtrack''). The piece ends with the bassline and percussion swelling to a climax. A shortened version plays in the menu of ''[[Halo 3: Mythic]]''.
 
===Price Paid===
''Price Paid'' (2:09) features a more minor melody by piano, with strings accompaniment. The piano melody continues to swell, then fade again. The piano plays a mournful yet hopeful melody, and slows down at the end, with high strings holding the last note.
