Does anyone remember the magic that Marty O'Donnel worked with violins and drums in Halo?

I think he should make 1 song with nothing but strings and drums for Halo 2.
Can you imagine the emotion and power that a song like that would add to the game?

Anyone else think that this is a good idea?

Halo's music was great! Music can make or break games or movies. It adds charecter.

Music is the fifth dimension. Music can control your heartbeat and can alert you to different aspects of gameplay.

Marty O Donnell is INCREDIBLY talented, he has the ability to make alien music, to make battle music, to make hero music. The categories just fall so perfectly.

Oh, and TheLastMithrandr is a complete wuss. He should post his address on the forum so we can go kick his ass.

Can't forget his work on Myth. It brought those journal entries to life, it did.

There is something almost exactly like what you have described, the main theme in strings, on the music outtakes page of the bungie.net site. If you want some music to move the soul you could try "Agnus Dei," I believe it was used in Homeworld and the movie Platoon.
