Why is the most experienced their first halo experience early in the morning... i did mine at 5AM on a day when my parents had to travel and I had school that day.
It helps that more and more of it is actually made by known composers and artists. Its come a long way since bleeps and blops as well which also helps.
The Danish National Symphony Orchestra has also done several performances of well known Film scores like Star Wars and Fistful of Dollars among other things. There is also Video Games Live which has performed music from dozens of games, though maybe more for the benefit of video game enthusiasts rather than the regular audience of traditional music. I think that the musicians who performed the music for Halo 3 and similarly scored games definitely qualified as serious orchestras.
Love your works mate, your music was given the opportunity not only to make the impact on countless lives and create amazing memories, but possibly even change a bit of history itself through those memories.
Eimear Noone, the amazing conductor, had an orchestra in front of her eyes...but in her mind she was at the controls of the Pillar of Autumn attacking thousands of Covenant spaceships. You can see on her face...she is living it
it got the vocals part from HALO:CE it got the electric guitar from HALO 2 and it got the Piano fanfare from HALO 3 This truly is the perfect HALO Trilogy Theme
Johnson: "You hit Marine?" Marine: "No sir.." Johnson: "Then listen up! When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-schmancy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon-and we had to share the rock! Buck up, boy, you are one very lucky marine!" Sargent Major Avery Johnson, best character in the series, and you can fight me if you think otherwise!
imagine all the people in the crowd who have no idea what this song is... "oh wow this is really intense... honey why is there an assault rifle under my seat... honey we have to defeat the covenant..."
Usually when I watch symphonies the conducting never has much emotion. This woman is a real conductor here. She feels it & wants everything to sound perfect
The Halo theme is like the feeling you have during rough times, where you know you're dealing with the worst case scenario, with a high probability of failure, but you decide to bite the bullet and keep going because you know what's on the other side is better than where you're at now.
Skyrim, Star Trek, Star Wars, all kinds of shit is playeed by european and also american Orchestras. Just look it up, why not, a huge part of their audience has or had contact with gaming and or fantasy/scifi. Thats why the go on Tours with sometimes just one Game or Movie.
When halo first came out, it was one of the most life-defining, emotional experiences of my entire life. I was 13 and my older brother who was my inseparable best friend throughout our entire childhood was 16, so we had already had so many incredible gaming experiences playing things together our entire childhoods. Our dad pre-ordered the new Microsoft video game console that was supposed to be the future. We drove to the nearest mall where the closest EB games was, filled out our preorder card, two controllers and 3 games: Tony Hawk 2x, Dead Or Alive 3, and a brand new IP we'd never heard of called Halo. When the preorder came in, it was on a school night mid week. We rushed straight out to pick it up after school, and came straight home from picking it up to finally check it out. We played DOA for maybe 3 minutes before immediately turning that garbage off, and played Tony Hawk for a few hours which ruled. After getting bored with Tony Hawk eventually in the evening, with our parents sitting on the couch watching, we both sat on the floor in front of the tv and turned halo on for the first time, with the lights off, everybody focused and ready to see what this new game was. I will never, ever forget hearing that intro music for the first time, seeing that opening screen, and looking around at everybody, realizing that we were all collectively thinking "something major is about to go down..." We ended up staying up all night playing it, pulled an all-nighter, and our parents let us stay home from school the next day to finish the game. When we beat it, I cried. It absolutely smoked all of us. That first time playing through the first halo game is an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life, and an experience I have been able to replicate very, very few times with other games.
Man when the first time halo Came on 🤯💥 instantly new I would love the game and you right I cried 2 and could wait to get my hands on the next Halo because they always left you with a cliff ha ger or something to look forward 2 absolutely beautiful game 🎮
Things just aren't the same. "Competitive" and "lootboxes" have replaced art and pleasure. Money degrades all the gods of man and turns them into commodities.
Halo relied on music to tell the story more than almost any other game I can think of. I think it's a huge part of the reason we look back on it so fondly.
This made me tear up. Back when I was in deep with depression and going through some hard family times, halo was something I always turned to. I have so many fond memories playing with friends. Staying up all night playing through the campaigns. Spending so many hours in slayer matches. The music was such a strong component of what made this series great. Hearing it performed so masterfully and with such passion brings me back to my youth. Reminding of all the wonders and otherworldly visuals I experienced when playing the game for the first time. It just brings tears to my eyes. Thank you.
I hope you are doing well brother ! Same here teared up for a bit lol ! The theme just reminds me of when i first got the halo game.. knew nothing about it..

What a terrific job the Danish National Symphony has done bringing Gaming music to a professional level. It ha done the same with the spaghetti westerns and other movies.
Why don’t we ever realize how important some things are until they’re gone? Halo was a larger part of my life than I ever really knew. This is wonderful.
“Hey” “Yeah?” “You ever wonder why we’re here?” “It’s one of life’s great mysteries isn’t it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don’t know man, but it keeps me up at night.” (Both stare at each other in silence) “...What?! I mean why are we out here, in this canyon?” “Oh. Uh... yeah.” “What was all that stuff about God?” “Uh...hm? Nothing.” “You wanna talk about it?” “No.” “You sure?” “Yeah.”
It is because this entire arrangement was done by our national television and orchestra. A part of our taxes here in Denmark goes to things like this, which also makes the tickets quite cheap so everyone can enjoy classical concerts. I was at the concert, and I remember paying about 30 dollars for a ticket. The recording is done by the national television.
I love how they progressed through all three key iterations of the main scores. This is a masterpiece. By far the best live composition of any of the halo music.
I first played halo in 2001 when I was 6 years old. I am now 28, grieving the death of a loved one, and this video just made me cry uncontrollably. Beautiful.
I watched and played this with my brother who was 6 years older than man me at the time I was 5 when this released. Sorry for your loss. What a beautiful game it was when released. It still is.
I heard it as Fu-fu-fu first. And I was thinking thats what all the humans with stutters thought of the first time they came across the Covenant or the Flood.
This is very funny because in my school, my classmates actually sang this in the bathroom. They were not singers, so it was not perfect, but the intention was there.
@@festus0976 well sci fi, has always been the basis of the future... sci fi predicted things such as cell phobes, tablets, wi fi, flat screens, holograms etc etc
Lots of great memories playing with friends online while growing up. Halo had a big impact on all of us. Still feels weird to cry over this though haha
I really love how accurate this is done! Sounds just like the original versions. That's really rare if you already know several orchestral game concerts. They always seem in need to add their own style. But this here is brilliant, congratulations! And a big thumbs up to the guys responsible for the recordings, great sound quality. E: Ah that's Eimear Noone, the conductor of the Zelda 25th anniversary / Symphony of the Goddesses concerts!
I grew up on this music, and over the past decade have continued to listen to the original trilogies soundtracks quite regularly. Love Marty O'Donnell and Mike Salvatori's work to no end! 0:00 to 2:35 is the weakest part of this composition, being the iconic Halo Theme MJOLNIR Mix from the Halo 2 soundtrack, but the band certainly did add in their own style with several different instruments that were never in the original pieces (the guy banging on the sheet metal stuck out like a sore thumb), and the drums don't sound right either, like they're playing an entirely different beat then what they should be. The guitar has also been considerably toned down for the majority of the track, though this is understandable as I imagine it would be rather difficult to perfectly recreate Steve Vai's amazing work in the original piece. 2:35 to 4:00 is the first minute and a half of the Halo 3 soundtrack's track 'Behold a pale horse', and I would say is the strongest piece they played here. Unlike the theme before, it is indeed extremely accurate and spot on, only thing is the strings section sound slightly weak compared to the original. 4:00 to the end is from 1:08 onward of the Halo 3 soundtrack's track 'finish the fight', paying homage to the legendary E3 2006 Halo 3 announcement trailer where the song played along with the dialogue that was spoken. Again, sounded like there was a few instruments in this piece that were not present in the original, but everything else sounds on point. The woman who spoke Cortana's dialogue spoke the lines slower though then in the E3 trailer, just enough I think for it to be noticeable and throw off some of the people here in the comments section. Overall the Orchestra did a good job, and it sounds close to the original versions, but I wouldn't personally say they're 'just like' them. They did far better work when they played the dollars trilogy themes IMO. I'd also say this doesn't quite do a great service to the given title 'Halo Trilogy' when it's two tracks from the third game and one from the second. As great as the MJOLNIR mix is, I think they would've been better off playing the original Halo CE theme first, followed by 'the last spartan' for Halo 2, and finally 'finish the fight' as they did for Halo 3.
@@Lanthire942 The only "real" flaw I heard in this was the interpreted composition of the third piece (Finish the Fight). There's a half-tone difference in the piano (and the rest of the orchestra following) which is not easily heard, but it breaks with the scale it was originally composed in. It can be heard at the second accord being played starting at 4:10 - While it can be heard clearly here, it can be difficult hearing the difference when listening to the original piece. However, you can hear the same accords through many of the original works (notably "One Final Effort," "Finish the Fight" and "This is the Hour" ), and can be *clearly* heard at the start of "Keep What You Steal." Listen specifically for the second accord being played. The "bass" note in the second accord is a semi-tone lower than presented in this symphony Despite this relatively small and concealed flaw, this is an incredible symphony and the orchestra did an amazing job portraying the Halo Trilogy's (or two last games') music.
Very impressive how all the musicians were able to keep a straight face while performing. I would've been crying tears of joy performing this masterpiece. For me halo 3 is the greatest game ever made
Halo and Lord of the Rings are two soundtracks I regularly listen to and still get the mother of all goosebumps even all these years later. They NEVER lose their impact and are a testament to the power of music! Marty and Michael created a part of my childhood with qhat they made, as did Howard. True masters of their craft!

I literally cry like a baby everytime. Idk why I put myself through this. Like 5+ times a year I listen to this. Not only the in game memories as a kid but the outside memories aswell hit me hard . . . Such simple times gone like the wind.
Interesting. The weather patterns here seen seem natural, not artificial. I wonder if the ring’s environment system is malfunctioning, Or the designers wanted it to have influent weather... This is fireteam zulu requesting assistance from any UNSC forces! Does anyone copy? Over. Fire team Zulu, this is Cortana. We’re on our way! Roger that, make a quick.
Not to be a dick, but I do believe it's "inclement weather", which makes more sense being that a grand design like halo would be engineered to have perfect weather, or so you'd think.
Sgt. Johnson: "Dear humanity, we regret being alien bastards, we regret coming to Earth, and we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!"
This fills me with some much joy from my teen years. I'm 31, and this brings me immediately back to December of 2001. Christmas morning. That feeling the music gives you is rare. It's all-encompassing. It's awe inspiring. It almost has no business bring this good. Who knows what the future holds for the Halo franchise, but let's get this clear: The music will be forever cemented as some of the best(if not the best) in the business.
Must be the 40th or 50th time listening to this. I just find it incredible that this..... this masterpiece was composed for a GAME...... how lucky we were, nothing since has even come close
Its 2007, you just got home from school, you and your brother sit down to begin the 3rd game in this epic franchise, you dont know it yet, but this is as good as it gets
David Aguilar Olmedo it’s pretty cool when you know the full quote is “behold a pale horse and his riders name is death” inferring that the chief is literally death
The conductor gives me chills to watch, her passion for this craft is piercing and we wouldn't have these beautiful works without somebody to organize musicians in orchestras.

Halo relied on music to tell the story more than almost any other game I can think of. I think it's a huge part of the reason we look back on it so fondly.
And still listen to it regularly, most game music doesn't maintain it impact this well so many years later, Halo is one of the increadible few
I think another games that do this wonderfully are the first 2 fallouts, each OST can tell you so much about the place you’re at by just the sounds
Skyrim would be another.
* Doom and Mick Gordon have entered the chat
Dark Souls is similar. The theme of Soul of Cinder told a bigger story with just 3 notes than some games could with an hour long boss fight.

Im sure it's Finish The Fight
@@SUSsykage fuck, I'm late, fucking hour change time!
That mjolnir mix with the electric guitar was from halo 2, not halo CE
What a terrific job the Danish National Symphony has done bringing Gaming music to a professional level. It ha done the same with the spaghetti westerns and other movies.
Being Glaun Who cares? They still play Halo though.
Why did you say that? has somebody complained about it?
I guess he is "confused" the meaning of the word "terrific"
@@Sierrawavemp4 ??? What do you mean by your comment? DId you think they said "terrible" ???

Why don’t we ever realize how important some things are until they’re gone? Halo was a larger part of my life than I ever really knew. This is wonderful.
100% this song makes me so emotional now haha love it!
Halo ain’t gone. The community and games are still here.
“Hey”
“Yeah?”
“You ever wonder why we’re here?”
“It’s one of life’s great mysteries isn’t it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don’t know man, but it keeps me up at night.”
(Both stare at each other in silence)
“...What?! I mean why are we out here, in this canyon?”
“Oh. Uh... yeah.”
“What was all that stuff about God?”
“Uh...hm? Nothing.”
“You wanna talk about it?”
“No.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah.”
RVB for the win!
Oh look! It's Agent Washing Tub.
You sir are a hero
thankn you
Perfect.
Huh...there’s some water in my eyes...
How odd?
Jeez this hit me right in the nostalgia
No one is going to talk about the camera work and audio quality?
Maybe the greatest quality Halo concert on TH-cam
no, because i don't want no more tears! (it was fantastic)
Didn’t knew takumi liked halo...
It is because this entire arrangement was done by our national television and orchestra. A part of our taxes here in Denmark goes to things like this, which also makes the tickets quite cheap so everyone can enjoy classical concerts. I was at the concert, and I remember paying about 30 dollars for a ticket. The recording is done by the national television.
@@alb1rdy547 thx for the info
1:31 in the meantime, on the background, we can see agent 47 infiltrated in the orchestra trying to get closer to the target without beeing spotted
I love how they progressed through all three key iterations of the main scores. This is a masterpiece. By far the best live composition of any of the halo music.
this song bring back the good old daays
I legitimately almost cried. And that never happens to me listening to music.
I did cry and it was weird because it happened so sudden, I’ve never cried so suddenly and especially not about music
@@davidvera1027 Same here dude. I genuinely couldn't hold my tears.
makes me tear up every time lol. I miss when Halo 2 was the new game to have.
i thought i was the only one. i never cryed to music. But this one, was too much for my feelings.
Let's leave the like count at 343
Master Chief would be proud

Literally brought tears to my eyes... the flashbacks of all those years gaming with the boys...truly spectacular
I was listening to this and I found out that "halo the master chief collection" will be released on pc, i think wanna cry
and in steam
Yes brother, it will. And we both are.
Came here from the kazoo halo 3 theme it was good

I almost did cry. But I didn't. Cuz I'm a man. And men don't cry. It was just a bug. It flew into my eye, that's all.
I DIDN'T CRY!
4:11 goosebumps started... head shaking at the rhythm... hand's finger moving as if I had the control... great memories.
Sheet metal guy after playing his part and nodding: "I'm kind of a big deal."
Honestly the halo theme wouldn’t be halo without the sheet metal strike
I first played halo in 2001 when I was 6 years old.
I am now 28, grieving the death of a loved one, and this video just made me cry uncontrollably. Beautiful.
When the time comes, you'll see them starside
I watched and played this with my brother who was 6 years older than man me at the time I was 5 when this released. Sorry for your loss. What a beautiful game it was when released. It still is.

"vah vah vah vah"
*flips page*
"vah vah vah"
I heard it as Fu-fu-fu first. And I was thinking thats what all the humans with stutters thought of the first time they came across the Covenant or the Flood.
Maybe seems ridiculous but well, they are truly being stick with partitures and the general composition, is something to admire hehe.
Lmao
You deserve more likes.
It's called being a professional
man this is a great job they did. I am not gonna lie, I dropped a couple of tears at 4:10 simply because this entire song resumes my childhood.
Victor Caballero,
I did as well. It's amazing how a piece of music can bring back so many emotions.
Cheers.
..oh what an amazing year it was for halo... good memories..
Bro I just got a tear running down my face
As soon as the piano starts, so do the chills
when you enter your school's restroom.
DemolitionSpartan I’m watching this just because of that 😂😂
When you enter your schools juulroom*
LMAOOO IM DED
This is very funny because in my school, my classmates actually sang this in the bathroom. They were not singers, so it was not perfect, but the intention was there.
Ah, a man of culture as well I see
Never expected an orchestra to have such a sick guitar shredder
That’s what you call a true musician
Why not, these are all professional musicians.
How many people do you think ended up liking Halo, and maybe even Sci-Fi in general, just because of the badass score of the games?
Me haha
You call it science fiction, I call it our future
The music absolutely makes any game, movie or TV show for me.
Me
No matter what, when or where, I'll always listen to the original theme.
@@festus0976 well sci fi, has always been the basis of the future... sci fi predicted things such as cell phobes, tablets, wi fi, flat screens, holograms etc etc
youtube finally recommended something good.... whats happening?
Since when? How?
I'm not crying, you're crying.
This was beautiful
indeed it is
No one's crying
Tears from good gaming memories
And always be beautiful..
And always be beautiful..
Absolutely wild to see other grown men admitting this made them cry...sitting with tears in my eyes literally wondering why....lol
Once H3’s piano notes rolled in, couldn’t hold back the tears
Lots of great memories playing with friends online while growing up. Halo had a big impact on all of us.
Still feels weird to cry over this though haha
. . . don't tell anybody, but, I'm crine!
Thumbs Up! Brother!
It's when we were happy man
More than any entertainment medium, games make the player FEEL something. Each playthrough is unique to each player and yet a collective experience.
2:35 you can see the conductor’s major evil eye to the string player who came in a bar too early 😂
which one they both look evil :)
@@paulwildman7824 Yeah she looks evil all the time from what i can see haha
Oh fuck you’re right 😂
she even mouths "WAIT" lmao
Damn the conductor is killing it and looks so satisfied lol.
She must be a fellow gamer
I really love how accurate this is done! Sounds just like the original versions. That's really rare if you already know several orchestral game concerts. They always seem in need to add their own style. But this here is brilliant, congratulations! And a big thumbs up to the guys responsible for the recordings, great sound quality.
E: Ah that's Eimear Noone, the conductor of the Zelda 25th anniversary / Symphony of the Goddesses concerts!
I know that the "Finish the Fight" score was released for the public. I remember seeing it back then.
I grew up on this music, and over the past decade have continued to listen to the original trilogies soundtracks quite regularly. Love Marty O'Donnell and Mike Salvatori's work to no end!
0:00 to 2:35 is the weakest part of this composition, being the iconic Halo Theme MJOLNIR Mix from the Halo 2 soundtrack, but the band certainly did add in their own style with several different instruments that were never in the original pieces (the guy banging on the sheet metal stuck out like a sore thumb), and the drums don't sound right either, like they're playing an entirely different beat then what they should be. The guitar has also been considerably toned down for the majority of the track, though this is understandable as I imagine it would be rather difficult to perfectly recreate Steve Vai's amazing work in the original piece.
2:35 to 4:00 is the first minute and a half of the Halo 3 soundtrack's track 'Behold a pale horse', and I would say is the strongest piece they played here. Unlike the theme before, it is indeed extremely accurate and spot on, only thing is the strings section sound slightly weak compared to the original.
4:00 to the end is from 1:08 onward of the Halo 3 soundtrack's track 'finish the fight', paying homage to the legendary E3 2006 Halo 3 announcement trailer where the song played along with the dialogue that was spoken. Again, sounded like there was a few instruments in this piece that were not present in the original, but everything else sounds on point. The woman who spoke Cortana's dialogue spoke the lines slower though then in the E3 trailer, just enough I think for it to be noticeable and throw off some of the people here in the comments section.
Overall the Orchestra did a good job, and it sounds close to the original versions, but I wouldn't personally say they're 'just like' them. They did far better work when they played the dollars trilogy themes IMO.
I'd also say this doesn't quite do a great service to the given title 'Halo Trilogy' when it's two tracks from the third game and one from the second. As great as the MJOLNIR mix is, I think they would've been better off playing the original Halo CE theme first, followed by 'the last spartan' for Halo 2, and finally 'finish the fight' as they did for Halo 3.
@@Lanthire942 This commentary is really spot on. Excellently written!
@@Lanthire942
The only "real" flaw I heard in this was the interpreted composition of the third piece (Finish the Fight). There's a half-tone difference in the piano (and the rest of the orchestra following) which is not easily heard, but it breaks with the scale it was originally composed in. It can be heard at the second accord being played starting at 4:10 - While it can be heard clearly here, it can be difficult hearing the difference when listening to the original piece.
However, you can hear the same accords through many of the original works (notably "One Final Effort," "Finish the Fight" and "This is the Hour" ), and can be *clearly* heard at the start of "Keep What You Steal." Listen specifically for the second accord being played. The "bass" note in the second accord is a semi-tone lower than presented in this symphony
Despite this relatively small and concealed flaw, this is an incredible symphony and the orchestra did an amazing job portraying the Halo Trilogy's (or two last games') music.
Very impressive how all the musicians were able to keep a straight face while performing. I would've been crying tears of joy performing this masterpiece. For me halo 3 is the greatest game ever made
They got that out the first few rehearsals
THAT CONDUCTOR WAS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINISH THE FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Halo and Lord of the Rings are two soundtracks I regularly listen to and still get the mother of all goosebumps even all these years later. They NEVER lose their impact and are a testament to the power of music! Marty and Michael created a part of my childhood with qhat they made, as did Howard. True masters of their craft!
Isengard and the orcs theme is my favourite, its powerful.

ehh, quite a few things seemed a bit off and late.
Interesting. The weather patterns here seen seem natural, not artificial. I wonder if the ring’s environment system is malfunctioning, Or the designers wanted it to have influent weather...
This is fireteam zulu requesting assistance from any UNSC forces! Does anyone copy? Over.
Fire team Zulu, this is Cortana. We’re on our way!
Roger that, make a quick.
Not to be a dick, but I do believe it's "inclement weather", which makes more sense being that a grand design like halo would be engineered to have perfect weather, or so you'd think.
I skipped to the time stamp from another comment, and as I read yours, the exact musix from that part came in, nicee
A unique piece for a unique game, Halo OST is more than an OST for a videogame it's a whole masterpiece in its own right. This was beyond fantastic
AND THEY FINISHED WITH A LAST EFFORT!?!!?!?!?!? THIS IS FUCKING PERFECT!!!!!!!!
One Final Effort, is all we need!
"We need finish this fight!"
4:25 onwards gave me legit chills. Felt like the climax to a film I was watching in theaters.

This fills me with some much joy from my teen years. I'm 31, and this brings me immediately back to December of 2001. Christmas morning. That feeling the music gives you is rare. It's all-encompassing. It's awe inspiring. It almost has no business bring this good. Who knows what the future holds for the Halo franchise, but let's get this clear: The music will be forever cemented as some of the best(if not the best) in the business.
Must be the 40th or 50th time listening to this. I just find it incredible that this..... this masterpiece was composed for a GAME...... how lucky we were, nothing since has even come close
Its 2007, you just got home from school, you and your brother sit down to begin the 3rd game in this epic franchise, you dont know it yet, but this is as good as it gets

The opening minute alone already made me shiver.
The conductor gives me chills to watch, her passion for this craft is piercing and we wouldn't have these beautiful works without somebody to organize musicians in orchestras.

Lol she’s conducting.
lol me too..I have been looking for a comment about her
She must be a fan of the game’s score
This just ripped me apart emotionally. And I'm ecstatic about it.
I legit started crying when I heard the piano key..
ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the national anthem
Sheet metal guy at 1:25 is so fucking awesome.
The headbanging afterwards. ;D
This is why i don't go to orchestras. I would constantly cry.
This is the best orchestral rendition I ever heard for the Halo soundtracks.
This is the game that brought me back .. to my world of gaming .. 38 now and this song was one that play on guitar in my youth . Memories .
