''Roll Call'' (1:10) is a reprise of ''Familiar Ring'' from the track ''[[Gravemind (music)|Gravemind]]''. It starts with a low note by orchestra, quickly followed by a choir melody. This melody is almost the same as the Gregorian-style chant from the ''[[Halo Theme]]'', but it has slightly different chords at the end of each phrase, giving it a more uplifting mood. | ==Overview== | ||

''Duty Bound'' (2:38) begins with a reprise of ''[[Farthest Outpost]]'', including opening muted drums beats. However, after the percussion takes over with strings briefly playing the melody of ''Weight of Failure'' (from ''[[Prologue (music)|Prologue]]'' in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]''), the melody does not resolve. Instead, it transitions into strings playing the opening string melody from the track ''[[Follow Our Brothers]]'' (itself being a rearrangement of ''[[Under Cover of Night]]'' (from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''), joined by the bassline of ''[[In Amber Clad (music)|In Amber Clad]]'' (from ''Halo 2: Original Soundtrack'').
