I'm not sure if it would work for an Objection theme, because it feels to sinister for our heroes... maybe if it was Krisoph's Objection theme, or the theme for a particularly sinister prosecutor. (Or a villain's theme. The phantom's theme almost went there.

I just love ominous chanting.<br /><br />Pipe organ music is also good.<br /><br />Pipe organ + ominous chanting = <3<br /><br />Now, I like plenty of music that doesn't include chanting, such as Descole's theme, which is one of my favorites! (note the pipe organ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX7ovPskZIQ<br /><br />I agree that proper lyrics, when used well, can definitely add to a moment. One of To the Moon's most emotional moments is accompanied by a song that makes it all the more painful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP-AAlZlCkM<br /><br />An official remix of my favorite Tales of Symphonia song adds in some... it's not even chanting, just vocalizing... just to increase the awesomeness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N8ApjACf60<br /><br />On that note, I have to mention that a different Final Destination entirely has won my heart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG3QgQCXyUo (Yes, I think there's a pipe organ in there somewhere.)<br /><br />One more, one more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuBp7364saI<br /><br />Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I love it all! *flails*Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.com
