==Production notes==
*The opening chant was recorded early in the morning when Marty was one of the only remaining staff overnight at Bungie's office. Due to being alone at the time, he had to run in and out of the recording booth between arming and beginning record sessions from the computer.
*The opening chant is one of only three pieces in Halo: Combat Evolved to feature real vocals, the other two being the monk chant heard in [[Opening Suite]], [[Halo Theme]] and [[Truth and Reconciliation (music)]], and the vocals in [[Under Cover of Night]].
*As with the monk chant heard in [[Halo Theme]], the real vocals are layered in with choir sounds from the [[User:Neo Te Aika/Audio Production Notes/Synthesizers of Halo#Roland XV-5080|Roland XV-5080]]. {{Ref/Site|URL=https://odysseyaudio.org/spreadsheet|Site=Odyssey Audio Spreadsheet|D=15|M=12|Y=2023}}
