The first seventeen seconds first plays in the campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]]'', during the cinematic in which [[John-117]] activates the underground light bridge. It plays again in the level ''[[The Silent Cartographer]]'', in the cinematic in which John-117 activates the [[Cartographer]]. It plays for the third and final time in the level ''[[Two Betrayals]]'' when [[John-117]] first pilots a [[Type-26 Banshee]] outside the [[Control Room (Installation 04)|control room]]. While the fanfare plays in the campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]]'', at the opening of the chapter “Reunion Tour”, and in ''Two Betrayals'', when John-117 exits the control room, the serene melody does not play in-game at any point.

A variation of the string melody from the ''Halo Theme'' (0:25) adapts the same string melody from the ''Halo Theme'', albeit featuring a longer string section and omitting the Gregorian chant ending. Instead, the high strings take over for a climatic melody, accompanied by vocals. The piece ends with low strings echoing the main melody, and high strings fading out.
