In the main menu of Halo: Combat Evolved.In its original incarnation, first heard in the Halo announcement trailer, it placed heavy emphasis on deep, powerful drums and fast paced strings, mainly the violin. It also features bonus piece Siege of Madrigal at the end. Halo is the twenty-sixth and final track in the Halo: Original Soundtrack. Called “emotional equity” by O’Donnell, a sense of familiarity would be felt by players when themes are being repurposed, remixed, and reused throughout the trilogy. O’Donnell and Salvatori followed this philosophy when composing other Halo music - a tradition carried by future composers in the franchise.
O’Donnell cited an anecdote from his teacher, film composer David Raksin: according to Raksin, when he expressed concerns over the repeated use of the main theme of Laura in its film score, Raksin was told by his mentor Alfred Newman that good themes should be used repeatedly, while bad themes would have never been used in the first place. Īfter the MacWorld presentation, O'Donnell adapted different aspects of Halo Theme into various pieces of music in Halo: Combat Evolved and its sequels. O'Donnell requested one of the jingle players to sing the Qawwali-like solo during the string melody, but upon hearing O'Donnell's example, it was decided O'Donnell would sing the solo instead. O'Donnell and Salvatori applied reverb to the strings and choir recordings, while the cello recordings were overdubbed, thus creating the impression of a large orchestra when the recordings were added on top of the MIDI recording. O'Donnell and Salvatori sung the Gregorian chant with three jingle singers, who had previously collaborated with the duo on a number of commercials. Recording one day prior to the MacWorld presentation, the theme was recorded with an orchestra composed of six string instruments: four violins and two cellos. O'Donnell has stated that he laid down the core melody of the theme in about half an hour during the drive to the studio at Salvatori’s house. He was also inspired by the first verse of The Beatles' song " Yesterday", which inspired the four-phrase structure of the Gregorian chant.

To best convey this impression, O'Donnell drew inspiration from his studies on Middle Ages music and decided to incorporate Gregorian chant into the theme, which has since become a staple of the Halo series in its various forms. Staten told O'Donnell that the theme needed to evoke the game's "ancient, epic and mysterious" atmosphere. However, the music would need to be first recorded and shown internally within Bungie on Monday - the same day Bungie representatives would board the flight to New York for the presentation on the following day. O'Donnell was asked by Joseph Staten on a Thursday to compose a soundtrack for the then-upcoming Halo MacWorld premiere demo on the following Tuesday. Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori composed the Halo Theme over the course of three days in July of 1999. As for the tempo, the starting choir is set to 95 bpm (beats per minute), while the middle section speeds up to 120, before the ending choir chant which settles back to 95.
The first part of the song is a choir chant which is repeated at the end, and this is set to a beat of 4-4, with the middle section featuring string instruments and percussion this is set to a beat of 12-8 and is significantly faster than the choir chant. The song is set in the key of E Dorian, with two sharps: F and C.
