Ok so... How many musicians are fed up with the fact that if they incorporate any aspect of gregorian chant in their music they get flamed and told by people who know NOTHING about music, that they are copying Halo... Well if we copy halo for that, than halo copies The legend of Zelda OCARINA OF TIME (w00t) For the temple of time theme using gregorian chant FIRST!

Link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_chant

"A Gregorian chant is the central tradition of Western plainchant, a form of monophonic, unaccompanied sacred song of the western Christian Church."

Ouch! I think I know what you mean now anyway...but ouch...culture...

As for including it into music - all I can say is Muspelheim by Therion...nuff said. You don't need to be a Halo geek to have one.

None taken, don't worry I took the humourous side of it.

If someone says gregorian chant, halo is the last thing I even think of. But then, I consider myself one who knows a little bit about music.

Well if anyone asks just say it's an Elizabethan Groan and shut them up. Simple.

Anyone heard the music group Gregorian? They make chanting versions of famous songs. It's quite soothing to listen too
