'''Haven''' the sixth track in ''[[Halo 4: Original Soundtrack]]''.

==Overview==
The track opens with a theremin and synth effects before strings enter with a suspenseful melody, joined by female vocals, horns, and twinkling effects. The cascading melody builds up to a grand climax, with the different instruments cascading over each other, then fades out.

== Appearances ==
The track can be heard:
* In the campaign level ''[[Prologue]]'', when [[Catherine Halsey|Halsey]] is being interrogated by [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]]. 
* In the campaign level ''[[Requiem (level)|Requiem]]'', where it plays twice, once after [[John-117]] has disabled the first [[Cartographer#Requiem|Cartographer]] core, and again later on when [[John-117]] enters the Terminus in "[[Control]]".
* In the campaign level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]'', when the [[Librarian]] recounts the [[Human-Forerunner wars]].
* In the second [[Terminal (Halo 4)|terminal]], when [[Forthencho]] orders the death of all the [[Forerunner]]s of a planet to prevent the spread of the [[Flood]] infection.
*In the opening cinematic of the ''[[Spartan Ops]]'' episode ''[[S1/Catherine|Catherine]]'', during the tram ride where [[Paul DeMarco|DeMarco]] learns about Dr. [[Catherine Halsey|Halsey]]'s involvement in the [[SPARTAN-II program]]. 
*In [[Scattered/Escape Plan|Episode 6, Chapter 1]] of ''Spartan Ops'', after [[Fireteam Crimson]] secures the detention area.
* In the opening cinematic of the ''Spartan Ops'' episode ''[[S1/Invasion|Invasion]]'', when [[Catherine Halsey]] has taken control of [[Roland (AI)|Roland]] and discovers John-117 is alive.

==Production notes==
The track was inspired by the [[Forerunner]] structures in [[Requiem]], shown to composer Neil Davidge by [[343 Industries]] during their first meeting in December, 2010. Davidge noted that the track pays homage to various science fiction musical scores, including [[Wikipedia:Blade Runner (soundtrack)|the ''Blade Runner'' soundtrack]] by [[Wikipedia:Vangelis|Vangelis]] and [[Wikipedia:The Day the Earth Stood Still (soundtrack)|the soundtracks for ''The Day the Earth Stood Still'']].{{Ref/Site|Id=commentary|URL=https://www.gamereactor.eu/halo-4s-composer-commentary/|Site=Gamereactor|Page=Halo 4's Composer Commentary|D=12|M=11|Y=2021}}
