'''Enough Dead Heroes''' is the fourth track in ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''.


'''Enough Dead Heroes''' is a piece included in the [[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]. It serves as the background music for the entire bridge cutscene on the level [[Pillar of Autumn (level)|Pillar of Autumn]], and the piece playing from 0:35 to 1:08 is often heard when you encounter [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]], notably on the level [[Truth and Reconciliation (Level)|Truth and Reconciliation]], where they are first encountered. The same piece can be heard in the [[Halo 3]] track [[Brutes (Music)|Brutes]].
==Overview==
The track opens with low brass playing a slow and somber melody. Low strings and percussion cut in with a heavy and dire melody, accompanied by high strings. High strings then take over with a serene rendition of the ''[[Halo Theme]]'' Gregorian chant. Low strings return with a reprise of the initial melody, accompanied by vocals, then joined by high strings, and together they enter the higher register as an ending.


It runs for 3:02.
==Appearances==
The soundtrack can be heard:
*In the bridge cutscene of the level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]'' as well as the final section before the ending cutscene.
*During the level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]'' when John-117 encounters [[Mgalekgolo]] under the Covenant battlecruiser, and again when he encounters another pair on the bottom floor of the hangar bay.
*During the bridge cutscene of the level ''[[The Maw]]''.


In the Halo 3 Soundtrack, "No More Dead Heroes" is a remake of this song. The main theme of this song is also used in [[Honorable Intentions]].
==Arrangements==
The track was arranged into the following:
*The initial melody was incorporated into the opening of ''[[Honorable Intentions]]'' in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]''.
*The second melody was arranged into ''[[Brutes (music)|Brutes]]'' in ''Halo 3: Original Soundtrack''.
*The high string rendition of the ''Halo Theme'' was reorchestrated in the opening of ''[[No More Dead Heroes]]'' in ''Halo 3: Original Soundtrack''.
*A full reorchestration in ''[[An End of Dying]]'', which was briefly incorporated into ''[[Unreliable Exploration]]'', in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Original Soundtrack]]''.


==Trivia==
==Production notes==
*The title is likely based on Cortana's quote during the bridge scene on the Autumn, "With all due respect Captain, this war has ''enough dead heroes''."
The name is likely based on [[Cortana]]'s quote during the bridge scene on the ''Autumn'', "With all due respect Captain, this war has ''enough dead heroes''."
