'''Roll Call''' is a song included in the [[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]. It includes the songs Roll Call, Duty Bound, and Price Paid.

==Overview==
==Song Description==
===Roll Call===
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 (Song)|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'' (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===
This song runs for 5 minutes and 57 seconds.
''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===
==Trivia==
''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.
*A part of this song can be heard in the main menu of the the [[Halo 3: Mythic]] disc.
