 '''Tribute''' was a song included in the [[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]. It plays during the ending cutscene of ''[[Halo 3]]'', as [[Lord Hood]] gives his speech and the 3-volley salute takes place. It is meant to have both a feeling of triumph and yet sadness over the losses suffered.
-It begins with a drum and strings melody similar to the [[The Last Spartan|theme]] from the ending cutscene of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level [[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]]. Strings then take over with a slow and mournful melody. Higher strings and choir then join in for a second repetition. The melody continues to swell until the end, when it quickly fades.

-Note: The song incorporates several elements from both the [[High Charity Suite]] and the [[Cairo Suite]].
+==Trivia==
+*The song incorporates several elements from both the [[High Charity Suite]] and the [[Cairo Suite]].
+*The fact that it uses elements from "[[The Last Spartan]]" is a meaningful way of sending out the Master Chief, as he was (as far as Earth knew) truly the last [[Spartan II|Spartan]].
 It runs for 2:52.
