'''Behold a Pale Horse''' is an extremely diverse song included in the [[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]. The track includes the songs "Reconciled", "Overcome", "Small Victory" and the title song "Behold a Pale Horse". It plays during the level [[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]] when [[Forward Unto Dawn]] lands. The section "Overcome" is sometimes heard during the final wave of a round in [[Firefight]] in [[Halo 3: ODST]].

This track starts with it's title song "Behold a Pale Horse", which is a revisit of the Halo CE track [[On a Pale Horse]]. It starts out much the same way the original starts, with steady, accented chords voiced by the strings along with low string pizzicato. The first difference from the original is when the strings are joined by piccolo and choral when the ensemble plays a melody-variation of the monk chant from the [[Halo Theme]] in the accented chords. A heavily accented part follows with the addition of brass, finishing out the song. This section lasts 1 minute and 34 seconds.

The next section is another Halo CE song, a theme heard in the first part of the [[Truth and Reconciliation Suite|Truth and Reconciliation Suite.]] "Reconciled" begins with low strings and brass on a low note as the rest of the brass play an epic sounding theme. This is then joined by more strings, the violins playing arpeggios while the low strings and brass play phrases similar to what they play in the Halo Theme. A more peaceful section follows, mainly played by strings with the addition of chorus; the theme is a variation on the "A Walk in the Woods" theme. Reconciled is 1 minute and 37 seconds.
