When I hear this theme I think of its Halo 2 title, "Ghosts of Reach." It sounds like a requiem for the tens of billions killed in the war

[@georgeking5910]

Your halo theme is exactly what the original was missing. Love it

[@munxgregoriana]

Thank you! We love to sing these songs

[@osmacar5331]

guess this is a Mawcapella

[@munxgregoriana]

Amazing definition of it, gonna write it down 🎵🙏

This sort of stuff keeps the aliens from wiping earth of humans lol

[@Duhemsounds]

This is super beautiful, I love it

[@munxgregoriana]

Thank you! We love to sing these beautiful songs

[@R3SerialDreams]

"Chief... get out of here...!!" "I said get out!! That's an order!!" "Aah, AAAAAAGHGHGhh..."

[@spartan9458]

This is one of my favorite tracks from Halo 1 and it usually brings a tear to my eye on it's own. This was so well done and you brought new life to it in a way I didn't think possible. Thank you for making this. Ya'll are truly amazing!

[@alecdl98]

Now we just have to wait for Marty to find this one as well and cast his blessing

[@disengagetattoos5074]

I just can't help, but hear the spartan suit shield beeping and cortana saying, "Chief.."

[@Nortic111]

What an absolutely wonderful sound, gentlemen!

[@Sallvoo94]

Questa versione a cappella di una delle più iconiche colonne sonore di videogiochi è un capolavoro. Un Grazie ai Monaci Gregoriani per questo capolavoro ❤

[@apollo6795]

You all are absolutely spectacular and cant wait to see if you do more halo stuff in the future.

[@alphagamer1802]

Holy cow this is a lot louder than the original. I like it

[@thatdmguy4512]

Hands up if u listened to this coild remember when in the music cortana starts complaining then went to play the maw only to be right...

[@nathanmejia7000]

Am I the only one who thinks that the Halo theme song reminds them of the Temple of Time choir singers from The Ocarina of Time?

[@nihilisticadventure]

What is happening? Why did you re release this? And why does it say you only have eight thousand subscribers what's going on?

[@munxgregoriana]

We had an accident while uploading our newest video (Temple of Time) and deleted The Maw in the process. Felt quite bad at first, bc of losing all your comments etc. But the life continues :) Have a nice day!

[@MarfeeWarfee]

Incredible.

[@LorewalkerTheo]

GOOD LORD

[@Lionheart_89]

U guys got any albums of this sort of stuff ?

Hopefully in a good way😌🙏

[@scottmatherne298]

The thing I love most about The Maw track is that there's so much weight to it. At this moment in the game, I'm immediately reminded of everything I've just been through: Captain Keyes and his sad death, the Pillar of Autumn, all the soldiers who died, the fall of Reach, and now....humanity's last hope rests with Master Chief and Cortana.

[@no_alias_for_me]

right? The first Halo campaign was fucking epic, the second one topped the first one and the third was at least on par. What a great experience from the story telling to the music, everything was one piece.

[@Zenthex]

what you are doing is pure magic, i can't tell you how much i appreciate hearing my favorite soundtracks in your style.

[@munxgregoriana]

Thank you! Most of us are gamers as well, it has been amazing to sing them🙏

[@Arpan10]

Cortana :- "This thing is falling apart!" Chief:-" It'll hold.. Cortana :-"We're not gonna make it!" Chief:- "We'll make it" Cortana:- "Pull up! Pull up! Crashes the Banshee* Master chief climps up the edge*

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

You did that on purpose?

If we get 10k subscribers, we will do Skyrim: Dragonborn🧙 (EDIT: Thanks to all of you💗 The production has already started, doing the arrangement and recording this month, filming next month. Our Skyrim: Dragonborn musi video is gonna be out 24.11.2023🔥🙏🏻)

[@smashinu2]

lets go!

[@scartekgaming]

after hearing this rendition [which nearly bought me tears, a hard feat to do] and seeing you guys say this, made me instantly sub - so to quote the guy above - LETS GO!

[@christophergordon6111]

How do you not have more subscribers?! Subbed. Can't wait for Dragonborn.

[@konzetsu6068]

To tease Dragonborn you should totally do Sovngarde!

[@lukebarton371]

Can we buy an album, songs? If not, is there a donate link?

[@munxgregoriana]

We accidentally removed our "The Maw" -cover from KZbin so we had do re-upload it, here you go😌 🙏 ALSO we have some good news for you, tomorrow 6th of May, we are gonna release our long-awaited a cappella cover of Temple of Time from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 😌 Also all your comments were deleted so pls comment your thoughts down below⬇

[@Kalandaari]

As I said last time this was uploaded, every time you guys cover any Halo music, the world becomes a better place. The re-upload gives me the opportunity to re-listen to this masterpiece again, and on repeat, again.

[@munxgregoriana]

Thank you Kalandaari🙏 Great Music deserves to be performed and recorded! Hopefully you like our Temple of Time cover as well, that we just released earlier today😌🙏

[@Kalandaari]

@@munxgregoriana I did, what a performance !

[@Violentic81]

343 Industries has to make the next Soundtrack with you guys. Incredible talent well put.

[@navb0tactual]

I wonder if Martin O'Donnell has seen these, he usually leaves a comment

[@munxgregoriana]

Hopefully later, we think he would enjoy it a lot🙏

[@navb0tactual]

@@munxgregoriana Oh he absolutely would :)

[@jakecurtis3454]

I was never a big halo fan, wasn’t old enough to experience it in it’s prime years but moral of the story: how is this only at 16k views?? Awesome work, guys. Incredible voices too

[@munxgregoriana]

Thank you ✨ Maybe it will find the audience later^^

[@SphygmosProductions]

It was insane back in the day. I remember the commercials for the first game on Cartoon Network. I even went to Midnight Madness for the launch of Halo 2 and Halo 3. It was a movement. It was magical.

[@johannwic]

They've done it again. Magnificent

[@munxgregoriana]

No regrets;) Thanks!

[@eeveealpha8042]

Yay! More of these lovely monks.

[@munxgregoriana]

We will definitely do more :)!

[@devinanderson5985]

So excited for the temple of time rendition!

[@munxgregoriana]

Yeah! kzbin.info/www/bejne/larckHpmjLGLhNU

[@wyattheitkamp55]

This should be the menu music for the next halo game. That would be amazing

[@munxgregoriana]

We are waiting for Bungie to contact us ;)✨🙏

[@deanlewis1277]

easiest way to give me goosebumps is to play anything y'all upload. fantastic work as always.

[@munxgregoriana]

Thanks man, best kinda feedback we can get🙏🙏

[@maurizio12]

Always fun to see the performance. Yeah you all are just standing there, but it adds so much still.

[@munxgregoriana]

Our pleasure! It's part of the show ;>

[@Tristan_Homewood]

this gave me chills

[@munxgregoriana]

Thanks! It also ga e us chills while singing🙏

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

Man you nailed it. The beginning part sounded identical to the original soundtrack. Still funny to think that the Maw soundtrack was all done by Marty himself.

[@oliverschmidt1988]

back again. great!

[@munxgregoriana]

It just happened ;>

[@dTheHammerb]

Incredible work guys

[@munxgregoriana]

Thank you! :) Check out our newest video as well🙏

[@MickR0sco]

What a shame some idiot health and safety guy insisted on those ugly running man emergency exit signs. Ruins the whole vibe which is brilliant by the way

[@teijaautio2684]

Tämä menee munasarjoihin asti, kiitos

[@munxgregoriana]

Kiitos, julkaisiin juuri myös uusi biisi, tsekkaa kun kerkeät! 😌

[@teijaautio2684]

En pelaa, mutta asennutin pojalla koneelle ohjelmat. Teidän ansiota on, että alan tutustumaan pelimusiikkiin.

[@teijaautio2684]

Harrastan harmonista laulua.

[@munxgregoriana]

​@@teijaautio2684 Mahtavaa kuulla! Yleensä se menee toisinpäin, eli meidän peli-covereiden kautta tutustutaan vanhaan musiikkiin😌🙏

[@Thundereus]

One of my favorite game title songs well made. It is so fitting to hear this after the franchise died, or at least that it was made after Halo Infinite. *puts the game discs of Halo 1- 3 + ODST and Reach into a small coffin shaped paper box and buries it in a flower pot on the balcony*

[@Sierra038]

Thank you. Im religious. I love and worship the the lord and the Almighty. I also love halo. To long to share here but both helped me through my lung transplant. 12 years out now. Praise be to G-d and thanks be to G-d as well for halo and the Spartan 2s.

[@PackHunter117]

*Now do Covenant Dance*

[@narwalsguy176]

1:28-2:20 this sequence sounds like the monk singing in its true form

[@DivinusPrime]

Can you guys do sovengarde from Skyrim?

[@Moorpheus19]

This is incredible! Hoping you get 10k subs to hear Dragonborn! Could I also request the Heroes Guild from Fable?

[@CrobeAlberto]

BIG TIP: AGE OF EMPIRES II, song for when you lose the game. It's already Gregorian, but it could be interesting!

[@41tl]

everytime I hear this I think of Halo's only survivor (besides Master Chief, of course) , Dustin Echoes. Where is he? How did he survive?

[@umaprva1100]

I hope you guys make the one from halo 4 but not the menu theme, "Revival" with your voices it would be soooooo good

[@nicksieben7701]

I'm going to play this to a newborn baby in the hopes that it'll soothe the child and help put the baby to sleep.

[@vainsilence]

I would love for you guys to "The Last Spartan" and bring in a female vocalist.

[@robertprice965]

Dude you guys should get someone on the guitar and drums and do the halo 2 theme like this. Would be epic.

[@alexthepirate201]

An actual monastery won the award from Microsoft to contribute this

[@jujujutsuk3146]

i love monk music (headbangs) no seriously this is ethereal

[@quinnimon]

ah, the actual halo theme.

Can you do the "Interstellar main them?" It would be magical

[@moosheeryce]

Scratch that! Play this at my funeral!

so chilling.. are you real monks?

This reminds of the final mission in halo combat evolved
