Thanks for the collaboration🙏🎵
Was wondering why the video was not on your channel, but know we know why!
You 3 gentleman made me remember my childhood when I played halo CE with my brother :') well done 👍
Thanks for singing so wonderfully.
Literally brought a tear to my eye. Yall are amazing. Thank you.
No, thank you for this performance
If you mute it its just 3 guys astonished in a basement.
This really made me laugh. I needed that release, thankyou stranger.
Ngl, you made me laugh.
I appreciate the giggle, fair traveler!
Hahahaha….hahahaha…..

Producers: “You have only 3 people, and you need to sound like an entire choir???”
Monks: “I told you. It’s enough.”
Chills bro
Like the fact, that you use a Halo Infinite quote.
It's actually four people (see the description)

Deus Vult
The late nights spent playing Halo 3 with the boys are something to be missed
Those times... :,)
😢
God damn it i need those times back... 😢
Truly better times people.
Moments like those never die.... they're just missing in action
In three minutes, this video highlights:
-The incredible acoustics that period architects were able to engineer, such that this centuries-old space can be used as a modern recording environment
-The amazing artistic tradition of Gregorian chant, which we can appreciate more fully here by performing a modern composition
-How gorgeous of a composition the original Halo theme itself is
Great production.
Don’t forget bros bein guys

Here's the thing: This isn't actually a chapel, lol. I'm serious, by the way.

My guy has seen sum shit!

Probably cause he has

Haha, this is how the monks do it!
It they did I no the first verse they went far too fast
Based
I get it
Ayy, he made a reference!
This theme is so perfect for the plot of Halo. It’s a story about humanities struggle against aliens. What is more human than Gregorian chants that are specifically made from human voices.
Couldn't have said it any better 💯💯💯💯
The gregorian hymn is what un-translated Prophets sound like. Go back and listen to that clip in Halo 2.
If you notice halo uses Gregorian chants and tribal war drums instead of the usual rock and synth wave like usual sci fi. It shows even though humanity is primitive compared to the covenant we together our ancient histories of wars has prepared us for this fight.
The bonds of men united is not one that is easily broken.
@@ethanearly9245 🎯
@@ethanearly9245 not just that, but since the Forerunners were an ancient race of advanced humans in the Bungie days, the chants reflect both the Covenant's worship of the Forerunners and their fight against humanity, despite them being the same.

People from the mid-26th Century (the setting of the Halo games) will put the Halo theme at the classical section for some reason.
Ever played final Fantasy x? This comment reminds me of the aeon Song and its Origin
What will happen is a downtrodden enslaved human race will discover this on an old USB drive somewhere, and it will inspire them to retake what's theirs.
That's because it is.
Anytime one of my friends or students asks me what am overtone is, I show them this. These are easily the clearest and easiest to point out overtones I can find. Breathtaking.

Is this what we use to summon Marty O’Donnell back to the series?
He's been summoned, he's got the pinned comment
We are trying our best :) He actually shared this video already on his page, what a wonderful composer!
Martin has done the unthinkable composing a soundtrack so good it's iconic to this day, but Gareth Coker , Joel Corelitz and Curtis Schweitzer have built upon his foundation flawlessly, this game's music is astounding and one can't really ask for more.
@@jdanielortega Even the lesser liked games like halo 5 have amazing soundtracks, and it's all because Marty set the bar so high with the original games that the new composers tried like hell to go above it, and it's like a beautiful example of competition that leads to such beautiful music I love it
@@space_racc h5 had a call of duty style soundtrack which fans hated in a halo game. It would be like taking the star wars sound track in Star Wars and changing it to country😂
ODST never die. They're just missing in action.
Completely agree!
ODST always die. Spartans are the ones that never die.
They are so good and in tune with each other that you can hear almost constant overtones throughout. Incredible
Thank you! It's the acoustics as well^^Check out our channel for more covers like this🙏

@@HitokiriShin who cares
@@uhhwhateverdude9463 apparently not you
In a way, humans were probably singing before we could even speak. It's a mor3 primitive part of the brain which, I think, likely explains why music is so unbelievably powerful and moving.

@munxgregoriana bruh you three are genuinely amazing. I could sit and listen to you guys all day and be kept on the edge of my seat the entire time with goose bumps. Also the beard is awesome.
If Halo does ever come to an end one day...these 3 guys singing this can send it out perfectly.
i cant ever be as good as these guys are, but i find myself chanting along in my tiny female voice
You got to admit using this as their opening theme probably played a big role in making the game feel as epic as it was. They owe a lot to they original sound department.
Agreed. The “original sound department” is the top comment on this video too lol

@@ZakhadWOW as a young boy that scared the fucking bejebus out of me 😂 I darent play those flood levels without my cousin. glad you enjoyed it dude. We missed out on Hendrix and likes but we were lucky enough to experience the first 3 halos
Hundreds of years of technological progress later and the acoustics of this building almost blew out my phones speakers.
I love performing in spaces with acoustics as lively as this one! Unfortunately I rarely have such an opportunity. Perhaps I too should become a Gregorian monk, lol. I imagine this sounds even better in person.
PLAY THIS THROUGH A SOUND BAR!! The air itself becomes nearly tangible from the feeling it gives you!
Did this in my old bedroom after we moved everything out…my gods the acoustics (chefs kiss)
For real dude!!!
More like 100s of years of technological advancement and they still still can't someone who can eq things properly in pro tools
This was pretty epic. Those three guys sound like an entire choir too. That huge area has great acoustics. This version is neck and neck with the 80 guys in a bathroom version.
I want this played at my funeral. I still get the same chills I did when I first heard this on my 15” CRT tv all those years ago.
I've never played Halo. But man hearing this I get why fans lose their minds
They get... blown away.

ROFL. I wanted to say something about the expression on his face but you did it perfectly.
By the prophets...
Looks like he was blinded by its majesty.
The Great Journey is just a term the covenant use to describe the feeling they get when they're high
AKA acid
Love it. Also the parallel organum and hint of polyphony.
The polyphony 👌
Well said Marty! This has to be one of, if not the best I've heard bar that of the game!
🙌
This must make you so happy to see. Thank you and all the team for all the amazing music.
The Legend himself!!
Can you imagine how amazing that would have sounded if you added like 12 more of those guys? Especially 3 that can go deep and one that goes subharmonic deep. That's what I would have loved to have experienced!☺️
The overtones are what get me. I can hear the overtone soprano part consistently but it's joined by 1-2 alto voices in parts. It takes incredibly precise harmony to make that resonance work. My classically-trained ass needs a place like this I can just go sing, I miss this architecture.
These guys have 12 voices coming from their 3 bodies. Simply amazing.
Thats what happens when you pray i guess
@@danteloparco6708 That's the way of the voice that all Greybeards end up learning.

As a choir student, I would've lost my mind.
close my eyes and just stand still as i took took it in, hoping its being recorded so i can share.
This is incredible by only 3 men. Powerful voices
Just wow im speechless it sounds so spot on im so impressed imagine sitting in that room hearing this in person goosebumps!
There's something about the Halo theme that screams "magic", and not in the typical wizard kind, but the magic of worlds unexplored, and epic struggles that span galaxies.
Well put.

If we're being honest, choosing Gregorian chant for their theme song must have been a hard sell but oh my god this is one of the most iconic pieces of music I've ever heard. This will always send shivers up my spine and I've been listening to it since Halo 1
People thought George Lucas was crazy to commission John Williams to do a classical track for Star Wars because the trend in Sci Fi at the time was Rock, Metal, and Techno music.
Thankfully Lucas didn't care
Gregorian chant was actually a little more well known and popular than most think back in the mid to late nineties.

@@CommanderQ Yes

This gives me goosebumps I remember playing halo 1 and 2 with my father when I was little before he passed away and this music just hits me in a way I can't explain
Spartans never die.. they just go MIA
May your father rest in peace ...stay strong spartan.

Still an absolutely legendary theme, never gets old, this "cover" is fantastic with the resonance of the chapel.
I agree completely, not sure why you put "cover" in quotes, though
It's reverb, not resonance
What do you mean "cover"?
Don’t need the quotations man, it actually is a cover… 🤨

No piece of music brings tears to my eyes like Halo theme. I will never forget the first time I turned on Halo on the original Xbox during Christmas. At that moment for me anything in life was possible. Here I was in outer space saving the world from aliens with my brother. My imagination blossomed 10 fold that day. I will always be forever grateful to my parents for the experience they gave me.
same here, great memories
Lmao
This and the Minecraft music always get me. Shoots me right in the feels.
yup. all the memories instantly flood back and send chills throughout my entire body. no music piece will ever invoke so much emotion and thought from me within the first 2 seconds.
You should tell them. Idc if it would feel weird and out of the blue, they’d love that shit.
The focus, the passion, the beauty. Even they can't help but be enthralled by their own hymn, their look of astonishment matches mine 🤧
I imagined Master Chief's helmet on a pedestal behind them. Like a monument to a fallen hero. Every day they would gather to sing in his memory and honor...
The mustached monk is clearly having flashback from his first playthrough on the original XBox.
He never got over it, clearly
I couldnt tell if he was singing or listening in awe.
That was just three of them. Now imagine if it was a whole *choir* of them! 😁😁😁
Pretty sure the audio has more than 3 voices, in the harmonics i would say 10+

@@KombatKastle sir this is a Denny's
This is how the Word was shared before the advent of microphones and speakers. This is the original surround sound.
Master masons didn't build for capacity and beauty-- they also built for sound to travel through the whole building, to every attendee.
All of those old churches/cathedrals have a "home tone" built into the stone and wood. Ever sung in the shower and suddenly hit a note which resonated throughout the whole room? This is the same thing on a much grander scale.
There is always a place in the old churches which I call the fulcrum of sound, the place where all the angles and spaces shape the sound and bring it back to the origin of that sound-- the sound is made whole, with over- and undertones, rich and compelling. These monks are standing at the fulcrum in that church; any sound (especially Gregorian/Russian chant, which is made specifically for these spaces) will return to the listener complete.
If you are ever in an old church or cathedral, try it yourself-- you will be amazed at what you hear!
I feel like I just got hit in the face by talent.
Thank you!🙏
After thousands of years, the human voice is still the greatest instrument of all.
it was the first and will be the last of our species.

Most definitely went back to 2007 when I got my Xbox 360. Reminding of a better time but also to remember to finish the fight.
Imagine walking past a church or monastery and hearing this. Pure chills 🤯
There is something about the acoustics of classic churches out of stone or brick - which is of course not not random in any way.
First time I visited England I walked past a village church, on my way to some shops, and heard the choir inside practicing Amazing Grace. It was on the same time just so fitting so much a cliche it just checked so many boxes, like it was just out of portrait of how a English village is supposed to be.
Bring back Tradition!
@@bzdtemp that's incredible
This is what most modern churches don't get. Strumming a guitar and singing a pop song about how great Jesus is doesn't bring anyone into the church at all. The ancient beauty of singing adoration for God does. It was the beauty of the Divine Liturgy in the Hagia Sophia that led to Russia becoming Christian
I would actually go in for once lol
I seriously can not believe only 3 men with their voices produced this! If there's ever an end to the Halo story where chief dies and we get a final send off, this is definitely the soundtrack they should use.
Fire idea!
We would be happy to do a collaboration ^^ Let's see!
Spartans don’t die though they just go MIA
Spartans don’t die !!
Except Chief will never die. He'll just keep saving the world from weaker & worse enemy factions that they'll pull out of the ether. He makes too much money & they're too uncreative to let his story die & look elsewhere in the Halo Universe.
Music never fails to amaze me. These gentlemen are so amazingly talented and their voices sync up so well. Beautiful resonance and tone, and just all around amazing work.
If the people of this world could only talk, love and care about one another in synchronicity like everyone in this comment thread....
Beautiful song.
Be beautiful people, then...maybe we can keep hope alive...
Simply magic. The chills I felt from this were the exact same as booting up the game for the first time back in 2001. Well done

That's why Cello sounds so beautiful, it is closest to the human voice (:
I once played in a wind orchestra and that one time all instruments matched perfectly and it sounded like a choire. Never happened a second time.
The human voice is the original and greatest of all instruments. Hearing a beautiful voice is like hearing the voice of gods and goddesses. We are moved.
That’s also some polyphonic techniques they’re using.
Couple thousand year old chapel will do that, you see those damn arches? Plus their voices were forged by the thunder of the gods I’m just saying
I come here once a month to re charge again.
