{{Infobox song

  | name      = Brothers in Arms

  | album      = [[Halo Original Soundtrack]]

  | composer  = [[Martin O'Donnell]]

==Appearances==

The ending of the song appears on the Main Menu of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and the opening and closing cutscenes of the level [[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]]. It plays twice during the level [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]]; once during the Covenant's last attempt to eliminate the first group of survivors, and again on the Covenant's attempt to kill the very last group of survivors. It also plays twice during the level [[Truth and Reconciliation (Level)|The Truth and Reconciliation]], once outside the ship, and once near the brig where [[Captain Keyes]] is being held, and during the ending cutscene. It also plays in the Shuttle bay if all, or nearly all, of the Marines are dead, when [[Cortana]] will call [[Echo 419]] for reinforcements; opening the bay will cause the song to play. This song's ending is exactly the same as the opening to the ''[[Halo 2]]'' track "[[Impend]]".  

==Overview==

The first time the song plays is when [[Master Chief]] and [[Cortana]] abandon the UNSC ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'', and its tone is suitably martial for the situation. It opens with a synthetic drum beat; starting at 00:06, the melody of the piece begins on the flute. At 00:32, the melody segues over to strings, who continue the piece's main motif an octave lower. They are shortly joined by a fanfare on synth organ. At 01:00, the drums fade out, allowing the strings and flute to slow the tempo and bring the piece in for its serene conclusion.

==Other Appearances==

It was remade into [[Follow our Brothers]] for ''[[Halo 3]]''.
