Spirit of Fire is the first track in Halo Wars: Original Soundtrack.
Overview
Spirit of Fire was produced by different music organizations in three different cities, including Dallas, Prague, and Seattle.[1]
It starts with a very moody piano solo of the Spirit of Fire leitmotif, with atmospheric electronic backing, followed by percussions, strings, bells and a choir joining. After the first climax, the piece segués into vocals singing the Gregorian chant from the Halo Theme, with added piano, percussive and electronic elements. This reaches a crescendo, after which the piece ends with a continuation of the background instruments and sounds, which slowly fade out.
The Spirit of Fire leitmotif would be incorporated into other tracks:
- A triumphant version plays in the opening of Freaked Out.
- A soft piano solo is featured in the middle of Insignificantia.
- A strong vocals version is in the middle of Five Long Years.
The leitmotif returns in Halo Wars 2: Original Soundtrack, incorporated into the track Recommissioned.
Appearances
The full track plays in the main menu of Halo Wars and in the ending of the Halo Legends episode Homecoming.
