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


==Summary==
==Overview==
This song serves as the background music for the entire bridge cutscene on the level [[The Pillar of Autumn|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 [[The Truth and Reconciliation|Truth and Reconciliation]], where they are first encountered. The same piece can be heard in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' track [[Brutes (music)|Brutes]]. From about 1:10 to 1:50, you can hear the chant from the beginning of the [[Halo Theme]].
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.
