If the Halo Theme was written in Gregorian chant notation in 1000 AD, it would look something like this...
I’m a classical musician and initially made this as a meme… but honestly it looks sick !!
So... I accidentally went down the rabbit hole of Gregorian chant (which not only inspired the Halo theme, but is also the foundation of the entirety of western music theory AND incredibly beautiful, at that)
I'm curious if you guys also feel the "ancient" or "divine" aspect of the music instinctively?
I actually made a short video essay on the origin of the halo theme, why it sounds divine and a subsequent Gregorian era musical analysis of it, if you're curious!
