==Music in the X06 Trailer==

The music begins with a restless violin section almost reminiscent of the music omnipresent the the Matrix series. The music then shifts into a triumphant, driving drum beat that takes a distinctive minor turn when the recon team is gunned down. When the surviving recon soldier is stabbed with the energy sword, perhaps the most recognizable piece of music is heard: the Gregorian chant section of the original Halo theme song is reworked into a mournful section that depicts the hopelessness and despair of the fight against the Covenant. As the Elite tosses aside the body, the music takes a distinctive modal shift into what sounds almost Middle Eastern, but immediately shifts again into what sounds increasingly reminiscent of the beat-driven riffs of [[Martin O'Donnell]] of the Halo series, perhaps hinting that he has been working with the Ensemble team, and indicating an increased level of collaboration between Bungie and Ensemble. After a desperate violin arpeggio, drum beats accent the brave words of Omega Leader, and the trailer ends with a simplistic low note that seems to be inspired by the simple tones of the [[Halo 3 Announcement Trailer]].
