Midsection of Raindrop prelude.

Good choice?

For the company.

For Chopin, now the Raindrop will be known as: "That song from the Halo 3 trailer."

True enough, but it does expose a different group of people to Chopin that will hopefully, and likely, do to such a large audience viewing, cause some people to seek out more Chopin... or I could be completely wrong...

whats so great about Halo? the story isn't all that new, theres tons of games and movies and stuff about aliens exterminating humans, and theres lots of shooting games out there too.(prelude is very beautifull, im going to try to learn it :) )

This clip is the first time I had heard the prelude. It's beautiful!

I'm now learning it for the end of year concert my teacher holds. Who ever said that Halo isn't useful.

I am not a Halo fan, I am crap at first person shooters

For those worried about his music being ''that song from Halo" now fret that he will be "that dude in the Eternal Sonata video game" :D
