Halo: Original Soundtrack
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
- "Themes, moods and even the duration of these pieces will change and adapt with each player's Halo experience. I took the liberty of remixing and rearranging all the music in order to make listening to the soundtrack more enjoyable."
- — Martin O'Donnell
