This article is about the Halo 2 soundtrack. For the Halo Legends soundtrack, see Cairo Suite 1.

Cairo Suite is the second track on Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 2, and plays mainly in the Halo 2 campaign level Cairo Station.. It is composed of Cold Blue Light (0:00-1:54), Waking Spartan (1:54-5:30), Jeweled Hull (5:30-7:33), and Chill Exposure (7:33-9:42).

Overview

Cold Blue Light

Cold Blue Light (1:54) is a rearrangement of the fifth section from Opening Suite of the Halo: Original Soundtrack. The piece plays briefly near the end of the cinematic during the level The Heretic, while a short reprise plays in Penance (from the later track Delta Halo Suite). The piece plays briefly in the opening in the credits of Halo: Reach. The piece was rearranged into Only a Star, Only the Sea in Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack and into Cairo Suite 1 in Halo Legends: Original Soundtrack.

Waking Spartan

Waking Spartan (3:36) features military-style snare drums, and incorporates string variations from The Last Spartan. It plays during the opening cinematic of the level Cairo Station.

Jeweled Hull

Jeweled Hull (2:03) takes on a mystic, reverent tune, with echoing digital noises sounding in every few seconds. A variation plays in the level Cairo Station, after Malta Station explodes. The piece was rearranged into the third section of Prophet Suite in Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack.

Chill Exposure

Chill Exposure (2:09) features digital chimes, building to more digital noises and fragments of soft choirs. It concludes with a soft gong. It plays in the level Cairo Station, during the chapter "Authorized Personnel Only". The piece was rearranged into the first section of Prophet Suite in Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack.
