In Amber Clad is twelfth track in Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 1.

Overview

The piece begins with a violin section until, at around 0:14, when other instruments join in. Then, at about 0:29, a drum sets in with an electric guitar, which plays the melody from the Lost Muse (a piece of music in Halo: Combat Evolved which was missing from Halo: Original Soundtrack). This continues on until approximately 1:23, except the guitar continues on and finishes the piece.

The piece is a spiritual sequel to Under Cover of Night from Halo: Original Soundtrack, featuring similar instruments and melody for its strings part.

Appearances

A percussion-only version plays in the Halo 2 campaign level Delta Halo, when John-117 commandeers a M12 Warthog after clearing the landing zone. The full version of the track plays later in the level during the chapter "Off The Rock, Through The Bush, Nothing But Jackal".

Arrangements

It is arranged into the following:

• The percussion in Underestimated (from To Kill a Demon) and Farthest Outpost in Halo 3: Original Soundtrack.
• The bass line of Duty Bound from Roll Call in Halo 3: Original Soundtrack.
• Trapped In Amber of Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack.
