This Is The Hour Sheet Music (Entirely Revised*)

Transcription of [b]"This is the Hour"[/b], by Marty O'Donnell, transcribed by Mike Poe.

This song can be heard during the cut-scene between "The Storm" and "Flood Gate" in halo 3

However this song is mostly known by the title [b]"Finish the Fight"[/b] from Halo 3's E3-06 trailer

* I have completely rewritten my earlier transcription, adding a few new instruments as well as the "Finish the Fight" ending. My original never really had the powerfully epic feel that the real song has. I have worked quite a bit on these revisions and I hope they deliver a much better representation of this great song.

(I will keep the original mp3 file up just as a means of contrast. But I am going to delete the mus file and pdf to help avoid confusion)

For best viewing in mus switch to scroll view in Finale.

Enjoy and Comment

The original is absolutely epic. You did Marty and Mike proud.

the only scenario that i can think of that would stop u from viewing it if u have finale, is if it is an older version. the version i used was Finale Printmusic 2007. What year is the one u use?

That is AMAZING! And it sounds soooooo much like the actual piece. Even the choir!
But you should finish it off like the trailer with the piano thing

I like your 'Follow Our Brothers' transcription as well. It's interesting to see big scores like that one and 'This is the hour' play through watching each instrument come in. It gives a sense of the effort that went in to composing/ arranging it, which I can see you have given lots of. Your scores are full of win. lol
