Does anyone have any information on the following Chant?
supposedly it is a Catholic Chant in Greek which is interesting (because it isn’t latin)… based off of the comments in the youtube video it is called “key largo” but I think it maybe misspelled. all of my google searches pull up key largo florida.

I think it’s spelled right, since when I did a search for “key largo chant”, I came up with 3 sites that talk about “key largo”. One of them is here: castlevaniadungeon.net/features/castlevaniamusic.html. I’ll just go ahead and quote what it says, though, on that site:

"Of all the Akumajou Dracula games, Nocturne in the Moonlight boasts the greatest variety of music textures, styles, and applications. Easily one of the most wonderful scores to ever grace a video game or movie, the score is both profound and functional. A perfect sequel to its predecessor: Rondo of Blood, we are greeted in Dracula X tradition by a most haunting and beautiful tenor and soprano solo entitled “Prayer”. The phrase “Key Largo” is voiced repeatedly throughout this short piece. Also used in Catholic Mass, Key Largo is the Greek term for “May your ascension into heaven be blissful”. A rare combination of medieval chant, mixed with polyphonic and homophonic voicing (independent melodies and harmony together), is used here. A great example of composer freedom in composition, and score writing."

I think I found your other thread on the SurvivalistBoards, lol. 😃
 
I used to love the music score for this game. But after my return to church I was listening to it and thought what if there is a prayer or something religious but twisted in these songs? I don’t understand them. So I stopped listening to them.

So is it ok to listen to them? Do they say anything bad about our church in them?
