I think it’d be really cool if the new composer creates a new monk chant for the new Halo ring. In the Halo 2 developer’s commentary, Marty O’Donnell says that the chant heard on Delta Halo is a representation of the ‘monks of Halo 2 instead of the monks of Halo 1’. Since Infinite’s soundtrack appears to be going for a more traditional Halo sound, I’d love to see Joel Yarger add his own flair to such an iconic part of the series’ music.
I can’t tell if the track that plays when Chief discovers the broken Halo ring is a new chant or just a normal chorus (since there’s higher-pitched vocals). Either way, it sounds incredible and I hope we’ll hear more of it!
