* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYfe9caNqfA "Journey"]], the sorrowful string quartet that permeates your escape from the City following its fall, hammering home your failure and its consequences. It's so emotional that it even [[PlayingTheHeartStrings drowns the sounds of your struggle as you are being pursued by the Cabal]]. It it [[BookEnds reprised again]] during [[spoiler:your return to the City, though this is meant to convey that your journey has come full circle]]. The choir version of "Journey" (sadly not included in the OST but can be heard [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbqe1ISItTs in the Beta]] and randomly when opening the Director) is pretty much ''Destiny''[='=]s version of "[[VideoGame/{{Halo}} Ghosts of Reach]]," and somehow manages to be [[TearJerker even more somber]] than both of its sources.
** A lot of this is due to the influence of the performing artists: the Music/KronosQuartet, a contemporary classical group known for their cinematic sounds.

It can also be seen as triumphant; you may have been knocked down to just little higher than a BadassNormal, but you're about to show Ghaul (and everyone else) that being a Guardian is about more than ''just'' having the Light.

* So, you thought that regaining the prologue's character class was exhilarating with "Inner Light"?

Though an unreleased track, the Royal Pools encounter of the Leviathan raid features a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeXusspDLhY fast-paced rendition]] that's also ornate with a regal orchestra, much like the raid's overall theme.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECE7ZeDsuPk "Hunted"]], the theme for when your Raid team is in the Pleasure Gardens to face off againt Calus' Royal Beasts, is foreboding and tense with soft drums that erupt into a choir and triumphant drum beats if you set one of them off. You'd better enjoy it since you'll hearing it [[ThatOneBoss for quite a long time.]]
