This is the Hour

Album:	Halo 3: Original Soundtrack
Length:	2:06
Composer:	Martin O'Donnell
Previous song:	This is Our Land
Next song:	Dread Intrusion

This is the Hour is a song included in the Halo 3: Original Soundtrack. It is one of the most recognizable themes in the entire game. A variation of this song is heard in the Halo 3 E3 video. It is an almost exact copy of the song Finish the Fight.

The song plays during the ending cutscene of The Storm.

The very beginning is mainly choir, followed by the well-known piano motif. This is then repeated by the entire orchestra. The song swells to a dramatic climax, then abruptly stops and lets ambient strings take over till the end.

It runs for 2:06.
