Never Forget is the thirtieth track (Disc 2 Track 15) included in Halo 3: Original Soundtrack. It plays in the main menu of Halo 3: Mythic and in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
The track is a full reorchestration of the track Unforgotten (from Halo 2: Original Soundtrack), which is also its namesake, albeit featuring a more prominent choir accompaniment and crisper piano sounds. The melody begins with strings, but four keys lower, giving it a more solemn mood. The motif is then repeated with choir. Choir then takes the melody, with a piano accompaniment. The music then swells to a definite upturn, switching to a major key briefly before it switches back to a minor key. Piano then takes the melody and ends the piece with the main melody. With careful ears, a French Horn background melody can be heard.
The piece was reorchestrated into Never Forget (Midnight Version) in Halo 4 Original Soundtrack, Volume 2 and plays during the Halo 4 credits.
