Production notes
- Escharum's theme used double bass to emphasize on the character's weight and heft as a Banished War Chief. A double bass was chosen as the instrument in the early editions of the theme, and Coker stated it has effectively conveyed the menacing feel to others at 343 Industries.[1]
- In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of Xbox and Halo in 2021, an excerpt of Escharum was included in the Halo arrangement played by the Sydney Youth Orchestra and Kamilaroi man Paul Glass at the Fleet Steps of the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney.[2]
