About Halo 3 Original Soundtrack in brief
Halo 3 Original Soundtrack is the official soundtrack to Bungie’s first-person shooter video game Halo 3. Most of the original music was composed by Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori, but also includes a bonus track, which was the winning entry in a contest held before the soundtrack’s release. The 2-CD set was released on November 20, 2007. The score reached the Billboard 200 chart, and also broke the top twenty best-selling soundtracks and independent albums listings. It was nominated for X-Play’s “Best of 2007” awards, under best original soundtrack. In addition to scoring the game, the music was used for promotional advertisements and trailers preceding Halo 3’s release, and was also used for marketing purposes before the release of the game. The music was recorded by the Northwest Sinfonia at Studio X in Seattle, Washington. Unlike previous soundtracks, where much of the music had been synthesized on computer, the soundtrack for Halo 3 was recorded using a 60-piece orchestra, along with a 24 voice chorus.
The tracks are presented, in a suite form, after nine missions and are named Volume Two, unlike the previous soundtrack. The first piece heard in the game was entitled ‘Finish Fight’ The soundtrack was officially announced on October 17, 2007, but the soundtrack was not released at or near the release date of the video game on September 25, 2007 or even before the game’s debut in the United States. It has been listed as one of the top ten best-seller soundtracks of all time, with a total sales of more than $1.2 million in the U.S. and $2.5 million in other countries. The soundtrack is available on iTunes, Amazon, and other online retailers. It is available in two versions: the standard version and a deluxe version.
