[@TheMartyODonnell]

Nice. Who did the arrangement?

[@EndeavourWaszp]

Oh my god, you're here! Made my childhood worth it!

[@IsuiGtz]

Hello God, I mean sir; apparently Laura Intravia.

[@MaalaAdrian]

Thank you so much!

[@トラヴィス-b1z]

Thank you Martin, you are amazing

[@dr.stephenstrange8471]

You are an icon!

[@corebite]

Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori created something really special. Halo wouldn't have been what it is without them!

[@YourBookofMemories]

Brought tears to my Eyes YES THEY DID, forever my favorite song and game of all time

[@daegnaxqelil2733]

why o'donnell go talk to random youtubers like noodles and actman

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

@@daegnaxqelil2733 O'Donnell made Halo, he directed everything from the audio to the music Salvatori was only in there to assist him, his main work was on other things

[@daegnaxqelil2733]

@@xGoodOldSmurfehx he care about his fans i guess

[@davidharlow8614]

This happens to be my favorite song done by an Orchestra

[@lucascox2875]

This version of a Halo suite of sorts is perfect. Not only does it sound more cinematic but it sounds more heroic and I love it.

[@Geral454]

IKR?

[@matthewleto1180]

I’m more of a fan of the original. It sounds a bit less in your face.

[@chrislynch7165]

That was simply beautiful. What an arrangement.

[@IBx27]

So glad to hear the piano chime from the Halo 3 trailer!

[@kummer45]

Manly tears jumped out of my face when those flutes joined at 4:31

[@b.c.2281]

Of all the versions I've heard performed, I think this is my favourite. The percussion in particular is absolutely perfect, something many performances I've seen lack.

[@sequoiagrovemetal]

the danish national orchestra version competes nicely with this one though. did you hear that? the two share the gold I think?

[@AltruisticWarrior]

14 years of playing the trumpet... I wish I had continued refining my skills and pursued a career of it. To play in an amazing orchestra like this is pure joy and fulfilment. I love your content and compositions. 😊

[@JokinJoe]

You can still do it

[@shantanupandey5565]

It is never too late to start afresh!

[@popz4470]

Same man, 10 years of Saxophone and when I graduated high school I never got back to it. Just cuz I can't afford one of my own(haven't looked into buying one in at least 5 years) nor have I gone to college to play if I could

[@rmalanis13]

There's still time.

[@cosmicdraco7041]

This is what I love about the halo series, is not only was the gameplay that made it and the story, but also the absolutely incredible and amazing soundtrack. Who thought that a game and orchestral music can go so well with each other.

[@cloudyexponent8093]

This has to be one of the best versions on KZbin

[@defeatSpace]

Martin O'Donnell is leaving behind a masterpiece that honestly transcends videogames and the very limits of time.

[@572089]

i keep coming back to this video over and over. this is by far the best live performance of the Halo music I've ever seen. I hope to one day see you all play this live. its also super impressive to see a primarily wind orchestra play a piece written for strings better than most strings ive seen play it. (Warthog Run)

[@pheenix42]

"Slipspace rupture off the target's bow...Sir! It's going to jump inside the city!!"

[@HotForgeChaos]

There's no time sir!

[@voltspc9394]

Seeing someone actually pick music that isn't the main theme for their concerts is nice, loved the opening especially

[@barsaf9989]

This is by far the best orchestra halo video I've seen. They do all the right songs with their own slight twist (in a good way type of twist) and the ending is amazing.

[@barsaf9989]

Ok I've just watched a bunch more of OJV's videos and I'm a big fan now. Wow you guys are amazing!

[@chheinrich8486]

The Song at the end is always amazing, "this is the way the World ends"

[@hakaase]

I did not expect Halo. I’m excited for this one! Edit: Wow. Just wow. This one in particular blew me away. You guys are amazing!

[@TheUnkindness]

Was that.. a pun?

[@cormaclarkin442]

This sounds like a battle from the halo universe and the theme is when the master chief gets involved all in all amazing great halo arrangement

[@IAmChris7423]

I am not going to lie; I cried. That music just breaks a man down.

[@masterchief7794]

We’ll make it

[@jackrust2631]

There isn’t a better live rendition on KZbin. I know you can’t like this comment after I say this, but well fucking done my friends. What a performance!

[@jackrust2631]

All I can think in my head is “BOODOODOODOOO, DOO DOO DOODOO, DOO DOO DOODOO, DUNUNUNUNUH” after hearing this

[@johnboy7417]

To hear this arrangement without first and second violins but rather using wind instruments instead came out beautifully

I love the arrangements, I feel like this piece has done justice to all the other versions' attempts to fit the spirit of the game in the complexity of an orchestra.

[@LeoMoPacCrypto]

So many emotions in one song wow, just 10+ years of my life wrapped up on 8mins. Beautiful, so well done. So many great memories

[@anhminhpho8982]

Superbe! Étant un grand fan de Halo, j'apprécie beaucoup cette vidéo. Voici les morceaux d'où viennent les différents extraits joués, dans l'ordre : Second Prelude, Never Forget, Halo (choir), Brothers in Arm, Halo, Finish the Fight

[@burnacho_Exoduo]

Yo check bin quand y vont rajouter la suite infinite.

[@graveyardghoul8482]

Halo and Lord of the Rings have the most beautiful soundtracks. I could listen to them forever.

[@DaddyDriveby]

I was crying through the hole video. What a masterpiece!

[@fae4750]

This is just beautful OMG so many memory of halo

[@mitchyoung4173]

This is so good! I love the musical identity this has, it feels like if Halo were a fantasy rather than Sci Fi

[@ayushagrawal6996]

I liked the originality of this performance you captured the essence of Halo's greatness very well. Awesome!

[@RKVersion1]

Magnificent. Absolutely loved it, particularly around the 4:00 mark with the finale really taking off. Great percussion.

[@chheinrich8486]

Whenever I hear the halo percussion, I want to grab an imaginary riffle on my back😊

[@blackglassesgaming8618]

This would fit perfectly as music for the credits. A big far well with a summary of the game in one sequence.

[@DillonStrichman]

Beautifully arranged and performed! Bravo. Makes my eyes wet.

[@bto95]

How’s this the first time in seeing this masterpiece?

[@vickiy.forsyth6497]

Beautifully done. Wish orchestras here in my home town would play orchestra music like this.

[@WuTangDavis]

Never had a game soundtrack be able to bring tears to my eyes. Absolutely unreal what bungie and the music team did for these games , I will always represent halo . ❤

[@belenresto6269]

This is so incredibly beautiful. Thank you for this

[@RupertOW]

Remember reach and halo every great thing it brought us new and old

[@LeoMoPacCrypto]

This orchestra did it justice, beautiful

[@paulet4276]

J’ai reçu 2 billets pour le concert RPG pour Noël, j’ai vraiment hâte!

[@alceusantana5338]

4:04 , when the drums enter, I remembered how this music can chance a lost battle. "he gave us hope" . Long live to the Chief.

This is the best one on KZbin, all the others fall so short

7:15... chills, just like the first time

[@benjaminfisher3270]

This is a masterpiece cover. Cest magnifique.

[@malikdesjardinsyougbare5215]

C'est vraiment beau ! On reconnaît la trame sonore original du jeux et les petits détails sont tous bien agencés bref ! Un travaill exceptionnel !

[@nguyentanphat3318]

This is the best version I have ever heard. Sad that it came out so late

[@SodaGod1337]

Sounds really good, like Marty/Salvatori in a Basil Poledouris (i.e. Starship Troopers, Robocop) style, especially Brothers in Arms!

[@roberttournery2981]

Magnifique T ou simplement magnifique ca envoie du lourd

[@Rick.AtNite]

When Marty's many motif's are hit just right, I get chills.

0:28 guy in the back definitely 100% all the games, look at the smile on his face :P

[@BilltheFifth]

Halo has the best emotional swells.

[@durandol]

This honestly makes me think of Monster Hunter World's soundtrack at places.

holyy this gave me the chills

[@pierredunand9230]

What a masterpiece, this shayte give me goosebumps 🎉

[@thegsp]

You're making awesome job with all those orchestral versions of soundtracks! I was curious if you would be able to do soundtrack from Hollow Knight. It's really amazing and i didn't see anyone make a live orchestra version!

[@HoundNL]

Oh, that would be awesome

[@itsoundzgood]

How does this not have more views???

[@red_haired_ken]

0:34, “there was only one ship.... they called it, The Pillar of Autumn”

[@Phobos_Anomaly]

Why was it not destroyed with the rest of their fleet?!?

[@fonkyman]

@@Phobos_Anomalythe rest of the flleet wasnt completely destoyed.. and pillar escaped reach through a slipspace jump you should play halo :P

[@Phobos_Anomaly]

@@fonkyman Lol, Halo is one of my favorite franchises of all time. I've played every one, beginning in 2002. I was quoting the next line in the dialogue that Mercy says

[@fonkyman]

@@Phobos_Anomaly well my bad... i actually stopped playing and reading books after reach so it made no sense to me

[@nikifly2]

halo..... the gameplay...... the story...... the soundtrack ........ its fucking 2023 and there is no epic halo movie by steven spielberg ?!?? Why?!

[@eienkhygal9575]

j'ai vu halo j'ai cliqué direct :s magnifique !

[@skorpplays4346]

This theme made kids to men change my mind

[@shakadamus145]

That ending. Pinnacle.

[@CBLT006]

Is no one gonna talk about the 2 people on the balcony wearing mushrooms hats

[@tw4898]

I love how 80% of the musicians look like they have played Halo and the others are like “...0_0 welp gotta feed the kids/pay the bills somehow...”

In fact, we are an amateur orchestra, which means no one is paid to play here. So we're all big fans of video games!

[@vaibanda]

Maravilhoso❤ isso é magnífico. Parabéns! Deixei um LIKE 👍

[@s727r]

Without Marty would it even be halo?

[@amasiuss1]

Genial!

god damn that intro, with the halo 3 main menu theme

Thank you Jonathan! Unfortunately our concerts are planned in Montréal and Québec only for this season. You can see our concert plans on our facebook page :)

This is like a mix of the avengers and the halo theme with the orchestra, sounds like a Tri-mix to me, or for the beginning at least.

[@horhay133]

Wow.

[@odirendon3947]

No estoy llorando 😭

[@cartman19892]

it was really nice, but what i don't get is, why are there no violins? They are essential to this classic

[@FBIMOUS377]

I'm pretty sure it's because this is primarily a wind orchestra, you can see the string instruments to the right but the wind instruments are just the focus for this set.

[@the_quadracorn]

Took me a sec to notice the row of cosplayers hahaha Gutted that the part that they start at 2:50 didn't get to the climax of the original piece! It's my favourite track in the whole OST

[@nickryan6787]

Cosplayers? I can't see it 😂
