Hitman: Blood Money Original Soundtrack

About

The Hitman: Blood Money Original Soundtrack was written and composed by Jesper Kyd and performed jointly with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra and the Hungarian Radio Choir. It features Kyd's trademark ambience and dark, foreboding arrangements with the choral parts in deep brooding Latin. It was released on May 20, 2006 by Sumthing Else and Eido. In the composer's own words: “ "It seemed like a natural choice to mix things up for the Blood Money score. After the electronic-driven score for Hitman: Codename 47, the orchestral Hitman 2; Silent Assassin score was a new direction for the sound of Hitman, although there are still a few purely electronic tracks in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. For the third title, Hitman: Contract, we wanted to go back to the games's roots and create an updated and more modern electronic score. So the Hitman series has a strong background in electronic music." The Latin lyrics for this track are above, it plays generally when stalking people, changing clothes or after killing someone. This track also has Latin choral work and also plays when stalking or when entering an area that makes it play. The game also features a rendition of Franz Schubert's "Ave Maria," which has become the series' unofficial theme music, over the main menu, as well as a rendition of "Tomorrow Never Dies" by Swan Lee over the end credit. .
