Halloween Teaser Song - Sasin - 04-09-2013

Hi Big Grin I thought that maybe this song from Halloween Teaser mean something? But I can not hear any words and I don't even know the language. I'm sorry if this topic already, and I apologize for my bad English Tongue.

This should probably be in the aamfp discussion thread.

Hi Sasin,

She's singing the prayer "Kýrie, eléison / Christe, eléison". It's Greek and it means "Lord, have mercy / Christ, have mercy".

Well done on your first post.

You're welcome Smile
I used to sing in a church choir when I was a child, that's why I'm familiar with the words. We sang it the traditional way though... I remember hating it but, hey, who would have guessed it would be useful so many years later Tongue
I truly love the version on the AAMFP teaser, it's so chilling....

Thanks! Blush I've been lurking for some time now (really looking forward to the game's release) and I thought this would be a good opportunity to sign up.

I can't find any version on YT that sounds similar to that one from teaser.

Wow, really interesting, thank you ^^
By the way, I thought that kind of choirs are sung in Latin...

RE: Halloween Teaser Song - Sasin - 04-10-2013





Do you think that sounds similar?

RE: Halloween Teaser Song - Ashtoreth - 04-11-2013

Hmm, to be honest it doesn't sound similar to me.

There are many versions of the Kyrie; it is not a song by itself, it's a litany, so basically any composer can come up with a vocal melody for it.

The song in the AAMFP Halloween teaser sounds like something that could have been composed by Two Steps From Hell... *

Yes, I think that the Kyrie is the only Christian litany of Greek origin.

* EDIT: I just read the video description and AAMFP will feature a soundtrack by Jessica Curry, so my guess is that she composed that song.
