The piece begins with snare drums and strings playing the melody of ''[[The Last Spartan]]''. High strings and vocals join in for a triumphant and hopeful melody before swelling to fanfare. Low strings then take over with a reorchestration of the piece ''Respite'' (from ''[[High Charity Suite]]'' in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]''). High strings and choir then reinforce the melody as it repeats. The melody continues to swell until the climax, before it quickly fades away, leaving only a quiet single held string note. A shortened version of the reorchestrated ''Respite'' plays in the menu of ''[[Halo 3: Mythic]]''. | |||
