06 The Ecstasy (Jupiter) - Music of the Spheres
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Composed by Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori and Paul McCartney
"For millennia, humans have gazed into the night sky. We identified "wandering stars," spheres that didn't move in sync with the rest. These spheres became the inspiration for myths and gods, literature, art, and music. Seven of these are also part of the story of Destiny.
For untold ages the Traveler sent signals from deep in the galaxy to our solar system, signals interpreted and identified by the subconscious mind of humanity as music. Music that tells a story about worlds that have yet to be experienced, places that don't yet exist. The message of the Traveler, along with the inner harmony amongst the seven spheres themselves, has inspired what you are about to hear.
Author C.S. Lewis wrote, "Music which is too familiar to be heard enfolds us day and night and in all ages." We, the composers, are excited to present this realization of Music of the Spheres."

This is probably the most beautiful piece from a video game i’ve ever heard
JBODST75 yeah you all are right
Ye listening to this in orbit a couple days ago made me so nostalgic (if that makes sense)
Back in 2014 i used to try and get on to any raid team i could, but all of them rejected me because i was a squeaker. I remember sitting in orbit waiting for a response, and after hours waiting, not getting a single one. The main theme from this is what kept me company in orbit when no one else would; and every time i hear the piano part at the end i tear up thinking of how euphoric it was when a group finally let me raid with them...
Beautiful story dude, my group would sometimes let squeakers play with us. So many fond memories of raiding back then.
can relate as a fellow former squeaker
I can feel the pain…
Justice for Squeakers
I’d always let the squeakers into my group, because one day a squeaker won’t be a squeaker.
Marty O'Donnell.... that man is something else.
Don’t forget micheal
I remember a view years ago, I was making a presentation in my Music Theory class. We got to choose any artist we took some form of inspiration from, and most people would choose modern day artists, or some older bands; but I stuck with Martin O'Donnell. I was only about 15 when I chose him for the presentation, but I grew up with his music in a way. I grew up on Halo, then grew up through my teen years on Destiny, Bungie has been with me my whole life, and I can't be upset about that. When I was doing research about Martin's life and his career, I would put on his tracks in the background- just for background music. When I heard this song start playing, it hit me... It truly did, it made me just completely break down. It sounds stupid, but I truly did, his music has been their, the experiences through the music, and the atmosphere his music and the game makes is insane. I know Destiny, and Bungie have had their ups and down, but truly Destiny has saved me, and has been with me since its release. I can't imagine how my life would've been without it. The violin build up always makes me break down and have to pause, and reminisce. I'll always enjoy his tracks..
how did the presentation go? i hope people liked it i certainly would
Paul McCartney had the privilege of working with 2 music legends on this 👌
Marty O'Donnell's working his magic yet again
This is the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard. It’s triumphant first half, with a beautiful second half are amazing. The trumpet solo leading into a flute duet give me chills. This piece really is a piece of art
Ethan Smith i..i don't know to explain how good this song is but you.. you explained it..alot thank you 😊
Listen to Ravel's Piano concerto in G
This is one of the most wonderous scores of all time.
I always imagine this song being like a guardian returning from battle triumphantly and the speaker or Zavala giving them some kind of honor
This literally played in the D1 vanilla cutscene wherein the Speaker addresses the whole Tower about the defeat of the Black Garden
1:24
6 years of playing this game and I haven't regretted a second of it, sure there are some rough patches but it doesn't matter to me, the community has been great and being a sherpa has tought me valuable leadership and social skills, best of all I met the best friends I could have ever asked for, and though i'll never say it I love them, no homo of course
you’re still playing D1?
Who isn’t?
There's a magic here that was present only in the 90s. It's "Welcome... to Jurassic Park!", it's Indiana Jones in the temple, it's "A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away..." all over again! It's John Williams, adventure and passion the likes of which are gone from most contemporary scores. Gentlemen, bravo!
Did you just say "Once upon a time," and put that quotation next to "In a galaxy far, far away"?
Cyber Toothe Tyger ....you saw NOTHING...
@@KaloyanPanov is that a joke. Honestly. I'm scared to reply. Are you trying to tell me as a joke that I saw nothing or did you just edit that right now to make me look crazy? I'm scared either way. Somehow.....
Cyber Toothe Tyger It's a joke mate, I was just not clearly thinking when I wrote Once upon a time xD
I only realised it when I reread it so I guess it's a common mistake
1:52 - hope, sacrifice, victory and triumph all in one beautiful musical phrase
harrenysk I know where you’re getting at but it still needs the build up included from 1:26 imo
Am crying 😭 please i want to go to our past
Our beautiful past 2014/9/14
*PER AUDACIA AD ASTRA.*
*THROUGH AUDACITY TO THE STARS.*
*_THIS IS EPIC SPACE OPERA._*
1:26 to 3:27 the brass always hits me in this
The whole section is an absolute masterpiece. Has to be my favorite excerpt from Destiny as a whole.
Fun fact there actually isn’t any brass from 1:26 to 1:54. The parts where it sounds like it could be low brass is actually cellos and basses.
You know. I won’t lie. I just heard this track at the end of Hush’s recent video, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. It took me right back to 2014, when my friend invited me over to his house to play the beta for the first time. We stayed up all night, and went into the weekend just playing Destiny. Man what I wouldn’t give to have those times back.
Eyes up, Guardian.
07 to all the guardians that we have lost along the way may they rest in peace
The opening of this reminds me a lot of the first part of Gustav Holt's Jupiter from The Planets, I feel as if a little inspiration was taken from that and incorporated in this.
It absolutely is one of the inspirations. It's even stated by Marty I think.
To Jupiter ... With Love

Destiny has some of the best fanbase like I grew up on this game and I will always love this game
Sounds kinda deep but meh
Not gonna lie, Destiny's fanbase fucking sucks
@@okruma625 agree to disagree, there is the side with some of the nicest people on earth, then there is the destiny Twitter community
Many late nights spent in orbit listening to this masterpiece, feelings of taking part in something way bigger than what ever was
Without a doubt my favourite piece of video game music.
This is wedding worthy music
Bungie is free, Time to celebrate!
(edit 12/8/23: this has aged horribly dear god)
shame the game got worse
@@dankerbell Yeah it's a little sad :(
Well, this hasn’t aged well
Damn it!!! Cant they just make the game better!!??
Proud Infidel ye sad I know
Ok, this is how things should play out
0:00 shot of the tower from a distance, music starts playing triumpahantly after defeating the witness.
Trumpets pointed towards the sky as a ceremony begins, showing falling confetting and pettles from the skj. As the lower tone trumpets begin playing, theres some caskets of fallen guardians being walked through the center lane of the ceremony with tapestry covering the top, honoring those who fought for humanity.
*violins start playing*
Zavala/Ikora/(maybe)cayde at a podium starts talking, congratulating and showing gratitude to your guardian and your fireteam (maybe directly after beating the raid) for defeating the witness
They reminisce on the many many seemingly impossible victories we pulled off, and those who we lost in the process.
Perhaps if possible they can include extra dialogue talking about the different raid bosses you have killed since D1 vanilla, being Atheon, Crota, Oryx, Aksis, the leviathan raid, Riven, Rhulk, Nezarac, and now the Witness. All of whom threatened humanity's very existence.
Realize that this would be the first victory the traveler ever truly had over the darkness as it would normally run away to preserve itself rather than stand down and die.
I think between the gaps of dialogue there could be shots of guardians or the fireteam our guardian standing at the podium, perhaps some characters in the crowd celebrating but also still possibly mourning some losses from the battles. In the crowd you can see members even of different alien factions we managed to befriend: Caitl's cabal as well as herself, fallen refugees, perhaps maybe savathun or just immaru. Given the witness was also a threat to savathun, I could see her being there too.
So maybe your guardian wont just get a shiny medal for beating the witness, but rather something more. Maybe a new title like "Vanguard" or something along those lines of prestige. Maybe it can be gilded based on previous triumphs and raid completions on your account, maybe you get access to special features of the endgame, etc.
Anyways, this is my ending I suppose. Even if it doesnt come close, this is good enough for me to imagine.
2:56 is what I wanna hear/I'm gonna blast 10 days from now, once we've finished this fight for good.
I almost ascended.
This score embodies both destiny 1 and 2 in my opinion. It starts off triumphant (in reference to destiny 1) but becomes melancholy and almost tragic in the wake of destiny 2. That being because of the red war, and the second dark age coming.
That beginning sounds really similar to the part at the end of tfs where us (the guardian), savala, ikora and crow are looking over at the city with the lanterns going up into the sky
That part is from The Hope (Arrival) another track from Music of the Spheres
The Hope, the last track of music of the spheres
I've only been playing D2 for about a year now, and I've never played D1, so I'll never experience most of the nostalgia that the veterans feel, but just listening to the music from the old stuff I can imagine exactly what they describe, and it is truly a beautiful thing. I hope to continue to play this game and be a part of it's community, because without it I don't know what my life would look like. Thank you, Bungie
New light or jaded veteran you’re already a part of the community, just remember to keep those eyes up, guardian
I desperately wish this was in the game. Maybe after a long and hard journey the speaker and everyone else at the tower all come together to congratulate you and your fireteam for accomplishing some huge task... maybe after defeating Oryx or defeating the last Raid boss of Destiny 1 (Aksis) finally bringing a proper close to a game which had such a long run.
I hope someday they use this song, and I hope to god it’s for something that truly challenged everyone.
Maybe it’s for completing all the raids for the first time, maybe it’s for reconquering a new land that was taken by the darkness, maybe it’s for forming an alliance with the enemy. Who knows... I just hope this gets used so badly.
Wow that opening is stunning...
Fitting since Io is the last place the traveler touched and the place most rich in its light, the place were the tree of silver wings bloom and where the darkness now lies trying to corrupt it.
Jupiter, the lord of the gods!
Music of the Spheres is the soundtrack of a story campaign we will never see. This is all that’s left.
And to think Jupiter never actually made it into Destiny......
Well what are you going to do on Jupiter? Swim? Doesn't make much sense for there to be a landing zone on Jupiter. But we have been able to go to Io and Titan, and the Dreadnought was in orbit around Jupiter as well.
James Hughes Titan and dreadnaught are Saturn btw
@@havocthecrow8742 Io is in Destiny 2 and that is a moon of Jupiter.
@@naverilllang Wow you're so stupid. IF only you read the lore of your own game
@@N5FX man woke up and chose violence
5:30 is just perfect
I usually never cry, but this one piece... it's impossible not to
5:30
Such a beautiful sound, very reminiscent of the Halo theme
Lucas Burford yeah am crying 😭
The power of a piano is startling
I want this to play at my funeral
Destiny was more than just a game.
Correction:
Destiny IS more that just a game.
@@hyruleemblemier Yes
It’s a failure of a game

It saddens me that there is no mention of “Eyes Up” from RoI.
who asked?
@@vast1368 your mother
Final credits energy
I don’t know why, but this whole song feels like the perfect song for the death scene that we will most likely see with the end of our character
Especially the last piano sequence, it just seems like reminiscing.
There was a time, when we were much more powerful~
Finish. The. Fight.
Gotta love Bungie (and Activision, then), the first theme I don't remember at ALL in D1 because as far as I know it wasn't there. It was cut.
Captain fox
Yeah
You know the true destiny lovers that who always hear the soundtracks
For me the best game that makes soundtracks is destiny all that backs to bungie
Bungie made our memories our true memories
I only have fun when i play destiny
Without destiny my life is hopeless boring
But i just want to be happy for once but I don't know why I can't feel happy forever
But when i play destiny i feel weird a little bit
Like happy and thrilled for everything
I hate how the official soundtrack only took excerpts of each piece and left some of the best parts out
@@PIEHUNTSME Like the beginning of The Ecstasy and the middle to ending of The Ruin.
i'm still here 🤝
Good because we still need Guardians.
The choir part HAS to be in Final Shape somehow, it's just too good to not have
What I listen to when bungie listens
Me when lord of wolves gets nerfed
@@coopierre7899throwback
This confirmed for the Final Shape boss battle? Holy shit they're gonna return to what made Destiny Destiny.
Where did you get that idea?
Clan Elysium has truly become Legend.
Back to back to back. This song is perfect for the World's First win of the returning Raid and legendary raid: King's Fall. I was here.
This theme never played in the entire franchise
The first part is the end of final shape, the middle is the original tower music, in the light of the traveler
After my 12 man raid to beat the witness once and for all ✨✨✨🎖️🎖️
You don’t hear many good tracks like this in D2 nowadays and that’s a damn shame
I swear to god Bungie employee, if you ever copyright claim these last remaining videos of people caring enough to let the world know how good these forgotten songs are, I will personally come to your HQ in Seattle and make sure this OST is the last thing you hear.
It’s seriously such bullshit they won’t do an official digital release for music of the spheres. And they still do copyright strikes on these videos.
Why is the ending of this track so sad?
Leo Riordan I don't know may because we are guardians who helped the universe
We are legends
And because we love hope cooperation solidarity and happiness
Also thanks for the question that reminded me to my old beautiful precious memories
Thanks Cowta
Because the Destiny 2 soundtrack isn't as whimsical?
Or, because Destiny 2 didn't have its own Music of The Spheres?
@@majcorpsie5345 I don't think that the ending of this track was made specifically because of some foresight that told of this not being in the sequel of the game it was made for
I was sent by S/k/inny
Anyone else get a bit of a Braveheart vibe?
does the title mean jupiter would've been in the original destiny?
Destiny 2s music lacks the elegance of these tracks so hard
Reminds me of the Ben Hurr theme.
EarFarce4 YES! That movie also had one of the greatest scores ever. I draw parallels to the scene where Jesus gives Ben Hur the cup of water. The music kicks in, and I'm just overwhelmed!
Funny you say that, the composer himself Martin O'Donnell said in an interview that the Ben-Hur soundtrack was one of his biggest influences on him when he was a child. Definitely some similarity and resemblance here :)
I twerk to 06 The Ecstasy (Jupiter)
That opening really is something soooooooo magical and wonderful
D2 IS SO BACK!!!!!!!!!
They’re not gonna strike this are they?
Bungie is dead. Time to mourn
