Truth and Reconciliation Suite is the second track included in the Halo: Original Soundtrack. It is composed of four untitled movements: a “reveal theme” (0:00-1:50), a variation of the Halo Theme string melody (1:52-4:48), an ambiance medley (4:49-7:14) and a rock remix of the Halo Theme (7:15-8:25).

Truth and Reconciliation Suite redirects here. For the Halo: Legends soundtrack, see Truth and Reconciliation.

The entire track was arranged into Honest Negotiation Suite in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Original Soundtrack, though the final section was replaced with an extended version of Rock in a Hard Place (an arrangement of Rock Anthem for Saving the World) rather than a new rendition of the original piece of music.

Reveal theme
The “reveal theme” (1:50) opens with vocals and synth ambiance, followed by a triumphant brass fanfare accompanied by low strings playing the triplet rhythm from the Halo Theme. Strings, vocals and synth then take over with a serene and tranquil variations of the fanfare as a melody. They fade out and the piece end with a drumroll.

While the fanfare plays in the campaign level Halo at the opening of the chapter “Reunion Tour”, the serene melody does not play in-game at any point.

The piece was fully arranged into Reconciled (from Behold a Pale Horse in Halo 3: Original Soundtrack. The piece, along with the following section and a new rendition of the Halo Theme, was arranged into Truth and Reconciliation in Halo: Legends Original Soundtrack.

Halo Theme string melody variation
A variation of the string melody from the Halo Theme (0:25) adapts the same string melody from the Halo Theme, albeit featuring a longer string section and omitting the Gregorian chant ending. Instead, the high strings take over for a climatic melody, accompanied by vocals. The piece ends with low strings echoing the main melody, and high strings fading out.

It first plays in the campaign level The Silent Cartographer, during the opening cinematic of the level, then continues into the gameplay sequence afterwards, but fades out midway. The full piece plays in the level The Maw, during the final chapter in which John-117 escapes the on a Warthog.

The piece was given a new rendition and incorporated into One Final Effort, featuring additional piano parts and a different ending, in Halo 3: Original Soundtrack. Furthermore, Halo Finale (from the track Greatest Journey) is a full arrangement of the piece, and plays during the Warthog run in Halo 3 campaign level Halo.

The piece, along with the previous section and a new rendition of the Halo Theme, was arranged into Truth and Reconciliation in Halo: Legends Original Soundtrack.

Halo Theme Gregorian chant excerpt
The excerpt of the Gregorian chant from the Halo Theme (0:29) features the four phrases of Halo Theme Gregorian chant. It plays in the main menu of Halo: Combat Evolved.

This section, along with the previous section, was arranged into Opening Suite 1 in Halo: Legends Original Soundtrack.

Space theme
The space theme (2:26) features low and high strings playing a suspenseful melody. The piece first plays in the opening cinematic of the campaign level The Pillar of Autumn. It then plays again during the campaign level Two Betrayals, while John-117 is flying a Type-26 Banshee to the second phase pulse generator.

The piece was arranged into Cold Blue Light (from the track Cairo Suite), with a short reprise as Penance (from the track Delta Halo Suite), in Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, the former of which also plays in the Epilogue/credits of Halo: Reach in place of Opening Suite when recreating the opening scene of Halo: Combat Evolved. Cold Blue Light was then arranged into Only a Star, Only the Sea in Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack.

The space theme's melody was also featured in the tracks Opening Suite 2, Cairo Suite 1 and Delta Halo  in Halo: Legends Original Soundtrack. For Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, a full arrangement of the theme was featured in the track Random Slipspace Trajectory, and then incorporated into the ending of the track Unreliable Exploration. The string melody, along with elements of the Halo 3 track Luck was incorporated into the opening section of Osiris Suite, Act 1 in Halo 5: Guardians Original Soundtrack.
