'''Préludes No. 4: Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir''' was a musical piece from Claude Debussy's ''Preludes'', 24 pieces divided into two "Books." The name translates to "The sounds and fragrances swirl through the evening air," and is a reference to a poem by [[Wikipedia:Charles Baudelaire|Charles Baudelaire]], "Harmonie du soir".
 
The piece held some relevance for Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] and [[Cortana]].

''Preludes'' was included as the forty-first track of the ''[[Halo 5: Guardians Original Soundtrack]]''. Alongside "[[On Deck]]", the track was released as an exclusive digital download for purchases of the soundtrack's limited edition. In-game, the track is heard during the opening cutscene for the game during Halsey's lab in [[CASTLE Base]], and again as-played by Halsey during her temple in the first level, [[Osiris (level)|Osiris]]. The tune is later hummed by Cortana in the game's [[Legendary]] cutscene. In ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', the tune is heard in the eleventh campaign mission, [[Nexus]], as one of Cortana's clusters of recursive code on [[Installation 07]].

The song can also be heard in the [[Warzone]] level [[Battle of Noctus]], near the art structure inside the Monument.
