I love that it takes inspiration of John Williams' tracks from the Star Wars films and I'm glad Haab later reused his own themes in Battlefront II. Like this one for the Rebel victory! The LSO is always astounding!

This is exteremely well orchestrated. Congrats! Favorited this.

Isabel enters the Halo universe in a time of turmoil and loss and needs to quickly step up to some overwhelming challenges.  We wanted her theme to portray all of this in a musically poetic way.  So "Isabel's Awakening" is comprised of three sections:  First, an introduction and delicate statement of her main melodic theme.  Next, a lament to honor fallen heroes and to underscore the present strife and unrest.  Then finally, a reprise of her main theme that blossoms and grows into a bold and hopeful hero's song.

Atriox and the banished are a dark, gritty and powerful enemy, arguably one of the toughest opponents the UNSC has encountered to date - and they are also a very intelligent and nuanced group. We wanted to craft a sound scape that captured the raw power and brutality of the banished warlords, while simultaneously underscoring their complexities with beautiful orchestral details and bespoke musical sound design.  In this specific cue, we use powerful tribal drums and high tech electronic percussion to create an intense rhythmic foundation. Heavy brass and layered synths augment the rhythm with explosive stabs, expressing dread and fear, while strings add tension and color to create contrast.
