Halo Unyielding 2: The Battle (5:54)
This is a condensed version of the soundtrack music from the final battle scene from Halo Unyielding Part 2, for which I did the soundtrack music and most of the foley and sound effects.
For the episode, I had themes for the various characters. In this piece, most obviously the UNSC has a 4/4 military beat in a major key using Western instruments and a snare drum. The Covenant Forces have their own 5/4 beat for which I relied heavily on Asian instruments, most notably Japanese drums and Chinese flutes and harps and used a more minor key.
At 3:48 you can hear the cello play Morgan’s theme.
The machinima can be downloaded at the Halo Unyielding website or viewed directly at HBO’s mirror: in WAV or MOV format.
