| '''This is the Hour''' is the tenth track (Disc 1 Track 10) included in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays during the ending cutscene of the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] level ''[[The Storm]]''.
| | The song plays during the ending cutscene of [[The Storm]]. |

|
| Just as the ending cutscene heavily resembles the [[Halo 3 announcement trailer|''Halo 3'' announcement trailer]], ''This is the Hour'' is nearly identical to the track ''[[Finish the Fight]]'', the music played in the trailer. The piece begins with a soft drumroll, followed by strings and choir building up the melody to a piano solo of the five-note E Dorian melody from ''Finish the Fight''. This is then repeated by the entire orchestra. Percussion enters, and the strings swells to a dramatic climax with the ''[[Halo Theme]]'' triplet rhythm. The melody reaches with high strings, but stops with a single high strings note. Ambient strings then take over till the end.
| | The very beginning is mainly choir, followed by the well-known piano motif. This is then repeated by the entire orchestra. The song swells to a dramatic climax, then abruptly stops. |
