Brothers in Arms is a song included in the Halo: Original Soundtrack. it is number 3rd in the track list.It runs for 1:31.

The song appears (in partial form) on the Main Menu of Halo: Combat Evolvedand the opening and closing cutscenes of the level Pillar of Autumn. This song's ending is exactly the same as the opening to the 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.
