| '''Tribute''' is the twenty-fourth track (Disc 2 Track 9) included in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays in the ending cutscene of the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]], as [[Terrence Hood|Lord Hood]] gives his speech and the 3-volley salute takes place. It is meant to have both a feeling of triumph and yet sadness over the losses suffered.
| | It begins with a drum and strings melody similar to the theme from the ending cutscene of the [[Halo 2]] level [[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]]. Strings then take over with a slow and mournful melody. Higher strings and choir then join in for a second repetition. The melody continues to swell until the end, when it quickly fades. |

|
| ==Overview==
| | Note: The song incorporates several elements from both the [[High Charity Suite]] and the [[Cairo Suite]]. |
| 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. The reorchestrated version of ''Halo 2''{{'}}s ''Respite'' plays in [[The Ring Experience]] exhibit of ''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]'', with a shortened version also playing in the menu of ''[[Halo 3: Mythic]]''. | |

| ==Production notes==
| | It runs for 2:52. |
| *The use of the ''The Last Spartan'' melody is a meaningful way of sending out the (presumed dead) [[John-117]], as he was commonly known as the last [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]].
| |
| *The use of both human-associated music (''The Last Spartan''), and Covenant-associated music (''Respite'' from ''High Charity Suite''), could be commemorating the loss of life for both the [[human]]s and [[Sangheili]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]], and the subsequent cease-fire between the two races.
