Brothers in Arms

Template:Realworld Template:Ratings 300px|right Brothers in Arms is a song included in the Halo: Original Soundtrack. It is the 3rd piece of the album. It runs for 1 minute and 29.913 seconds (1:29.913).

The ending of the song appears on the Main Menu of Halo: Combat Evolved and the opening and closing cutscenes of the level Pillar of Autumn. It also plays twice during the level The Truth and Reconciliation, once outside the ship, and once near the brig where Captain Keyes is being held. It also plays during the ending cutscene. In the Silent Cartographer, this song is played at the opening battle on the shore. This song's ending is exactly the same as the opening to the Halo 2 track "Impend".

The song plays as the Master Chief and Cortana abandon the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, and its tone is suitably martial for the situation. It opens with a synthetic drum beat; starting at 00:06, the melody of the piece begins on the flute. At 00:32, the melody segues over to strings, who continue the piece's main motif an octave lower. They are shortly joined by a fanfare on synth organ. At 01:00, the drums fade out, allowing the strings and flute to slow the tempo and bring the piece in for its serene conclusion.

It was remade into Follow our Brothers for Halo 3. Template:Ratings Template:Halo Music
