The piece begins with a low strings note, which is followed by the piano playing the five-note E Dorian melody (from the track ''[[Finish the Fight]]'') and two variations of the phrase to answer the melody as percussion joins in. Single piano notes and high strings slowly build in tension, and the piano breaks into a more prominent rendition of its part from ''[[Unyielding]]'' (in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]''). High strings join in with a rearrangement of the third section of ''[[Truth and Reconciliation Suite]]'' (itself a variation of the ''[[Halo Theme]]''). The piano accompanies the melody throughout, and takes over the low strings ending with the five-note E Dorian melody. A full rearrangement of the original ''Truth and Reconciliation Suite'' section was featured in the track ''[[Greatest Journey]]'', which was played in the [[Halo (Halo 3 level)|final level of ''Halo 3'']]. That version also uses the iconic choir chant used for the main menu, during the piano climax when the theme is in full swing. | The piece begins with a low strings note, which is followed by the piano playing the five-note E Dorian melody (from the later track ''[[Finish the Fight]]'') and two variations of the phrase to answer the melody as percussion joins in.
