'''High Charity Suite''' is the tenth track on ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack#Volume 2|Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 2]]''. It is composed of ''Rue and Woe'' (0:00-1:30), ''Respite'' (1:30-3:47), ''Antediluvia'' (3:47-6:09) and ''Pursuit of Truth'' (6:09-8:29).

~~Two fragments of this track appear in~~ the ''[[~~Halo 3: Original Soundtrack~~]]''. The piece ~~heard from the beginning to 1:31,~~ '''~~Rue and Woe~~'''~~, is remade in "~~Black Tower~~/Heroes Also Fall", is played when~~ [[~~Miranda Keyes~~]] ~~is killed~~, ~~and~~ the ~~part heard from 1:38 to 3:45,~~ ''~~Respite~~'', ~~is re-used~~ in the piece [[Tribute (music)|Tribute]].

''Rue and Woe'' (1:30) features high strings playing a somber melody, joined by low strings, then both crescendo into conclusion. It plays during the level ''[[Quarantine Zone (level)|Quarantine Zone]]'', when [[Thel Vadam]]ee links up with [[Rtas 'Vadum]]ee after exiting the crashed [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]]. The piece was reorchestrated into ''Heroes Also Fall'' in ''[[Black Tower]]'' of ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]''.

''Respite'' (2:17) features soft ambiance, quickly joined by low strings. It repeats in different variations until fading out. It plays in the level ''Quarantine Zone'', during the cutscene in which Vadam and Vadum board the gondola leading to the [[Library]]. The piece of music reprised in ''Road to Voi'' from ''[[Epilogue (Halo 2)|Epilogue]]''. The piece was reorchestrated into ''[[Tribute (music)|Tribute]]'' in ''Halo 3: Original Soundtrack''.

In ''Halo 2'', ''~~Rue and Woe~~'' ~~is played~~ during the [[~~Quarantine Zone~~ (level)|~~Quarantine Zone~~]] ~~campaign level~~, ~~when you link up with~~ [[~~Rtas 'Vadum~~]]~~ee after exiting the crashed~~ [[~~Sentinel constructor factory|Sentinel Constructor Factory~~]], and ~~''Respite'' is played during~~ the cutscene ~~that opens~~ the ''~~Shooting Gallery'' section of the Quarantine Zone level. Later, it can be heard on the level~~ [[High Charity (level)|High Charity]]. ''Pursuit of Truth'' ~~is played~~ in the ~~level [[~~High ~~Charity (level)|High Charity]]~~, ~~near~~ the ~~area where~~ the ~~[[Yanme'e]] are fighting~~ the ~~[[The Flood|Flood]] [[Flood combat form|Combat Forms]]~~.

''Antediluvia'' (2:22) begins with a short reprise of ''Wage'' from ''[[Delta Halo Suite]]'', ending before the percussion changes to high tempo. Instead, it transitions into the digital notes from ''Veins of Stone'' in ''[[Sacred Icon Suite]]'' followed by a brief heavy percussion beat. The digital notes continue with shakers, and high vocals fade in eerily to end the first part of this section. This plays during the ending cutscene of the level ''[[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]'', in which [[Miranda Keyes]] and [[Avery Johnson]] were escorted as prisoners into Phantoms, and [[Prophet of Mercy]] was killed by a [[Flood]] [[Pod infector]]. The second section begins high female vocals, followed by high strings with soft timpani drums. They play in a smooth ambiance before a soft drumroll transition into the next section. This plays in the opening cutscene of the level ''[[High Charity (level)|High Charity]]''.

''Pursuit of Truth'' (2:18) fades in with two-part of digital notes, soon joined by high female vocals singing the melody. High strings join in to echo the melody, and percussion enter to mix in with the digital note. The vocals and strings fade out. After a duet between the two-part digital notes and metallic percussive beats, the female vocals return as the percussion switches to heavier percussive beat. Cymbals enter To complement the percussive beats, and the highs strings return to conclude the piece.
