This troper abuses ''MagicalBattleArena'''s custom BGM feature. Suffice to say, having "Lacrimosa" by ''Immediate Music'' playing in the background of a Melee A Quatre between the game's nukers (Nanoha Takamachi, Hayate Yagami, Lina Inverse, and Nowel Diastasis) is a most epic experience.

You can do this with any game on the XBox360, though it works best in online play (it will replace any cinematic audio, as well as BGM).

This troper is taking a mandatory Greek class and has promised himself that he will use this knowledge to chant ominously.

This Troper used this to make a ghost story all the scarier. The translation of the chanting? "Peace to all on earth."

This troper here uses this in the background when he's pretending to be evil.

Ditto here...sometimes minus the "pretending" part. EvilLaugh!

When this troper watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail for the first time, everytime the Latin chanting monks came on, she said they were trying to summon Sephiroth.

You have given this troper an execellent idea for a fanfic.

This troper loves plainsong/Gregorian Chant and C16-17 polyphonous church music, as well as the music of the Orthodox churches and the Orthodox synagogue. She finds these styles calming rather than scary - but this doesn't stop her pointing out the existence of this trope whenever it pops up on screen!

This Orthodox church-music enthusiast (yeah) thinks it's tricky to construe most of the Eastern repertoire as "scary." Haunting at best.

This troper saw the Dear Friends concert for FinalFantasy music. The older members of the chorus who weren't young or geeky enough to know the significance of Sephiroth's ThemeTune were looking like they expected something bad to happen because they were singing in OminousLatinChanting.

Subverted, however, for the crowd. That song wasn't in the program, so when the encore came about, literally ''two notes'' into the song the entire audience (this troper included) jumped up and started cheering like maniacs. DracoInLeatherPants, indeed...

This troper likes to use Ominous Chanting to amuse her friends. I speak three languages, so I can usually find one that no one present speaks.

I tend to go recursive and chant, "Ominous... chanting" thanks to the truly wonderful resemblance of the word "Ominous" to ''every Latin word ever.''

Which would be because "ominous" comes from the Latin word ''ominosus'', and shares the same root as ''omen''.

This troper is performing a choral concert which includes a rather creepy Latin version of "Psalm 150". The translation is basically "Praise the Lord in all his power, etc." and goes on to describe the many ways of praising Him (with harp, drums, horn, and dance, among others). This is made doubly eerie in that we are a Catholic high-school choir, and we perform this song immediately after "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd". My personal favorite words are "cithara", meaning harp, "benesomnatibus", meaning a high-pitched sound, and "jubilationis", meaning joyful. (Apologies for the spelling if it's wrong)

This troper ''loves'' performing sacred music in choir, but apparently my attempts to memorise the lyrics to "De Profundis" (as in, "clamavi ad te, Domine") come across as distinctly creepy. JUST LEARN LATIN, ALREADY! It's perfectly innocent. Well, for a given value. (Also, ''TanzDerVampire'' is even cooler with a passing knowledge of Latin to go with your German.)

Ever since watching the sixth chronological episode of ''HaruhiSuzumiya'', this troper often finds himself humming the opening to Mahler's Eighth Symphony, "Hymnus; Veni, Creator Spiritus".

This Troper did it when playing Smash Bros. Translation of what I usually said was "Don't walk in front of any catapults."

This troper occasionally chants ominously in latin. Sometimes he chants in demonic instead. Usually then chanting happens when he's playing Warhammer4000 (chanting "solvet mundi in favilla" while laying down orbital bombardments increases the mood).

This troper has managed to get himself and one of his friends hooked to Baba Yetu. Slightly subverted in that it's not Latin and it's not ominous, but all it takes is one of us to sing the first few words for passers-by to look strangely at the two nutjobs singing in Swahili.

Thanks for directing me to that! Civ 4 won't run on my laptop (junk video card) and I'd completely forgotten about that song. Time to freak out the people at school with Swahili! [Ominous grin!]

Whenever my class played a close, exciting game in gym class, I always used to loudly start chanting in Latin. It helped because I learned Latin in my previous school the year before. My friends were weirded out.

This troper once brought a copy of Mozart's Requiem to play on the stereo at his job. One of the... ''dimmer'' factory workers said, "Hey, this is that fuckin' ''satanic'' music!"

This troper once had "Oh Fortuna" come up on a mix CD during sex. Needless to say it was awesome.

So say we all. Though in my case, I had a girl who preferred Dvorak's New World Symphony, Beethoven's 9th Symphony, and Verdi's Requiem. Needless to say, my roommates were not amused.

At my Catholic high school, the sophomore Religion teacher invokes this: according to her, it takes a month on average for each new class to realize that, when they walk into her class and a CD of chants is playing, a pop quiz is in their very near future...

Alpha}} This troper attended a special Saturday Mass at the LA Cathedral, where the procession began with the song "Laudate Dominum." Which was rendered very loudly with a multitude of voices singing , ''"Laudate Dominum! Laudate Dominum! Omnes! Gentes! Alleluia!"'' Needless to say, this troper had chills when he heard this music and felt like it was something that should be played for major events, like the Pope's arrival or Conclave... or maybe at End Of The World As We Know It}} the end of the world.

This troper once sang "Lilium" in the middle of the night in the shower (It was in an army camp), and the guy showering in the cubicle next to his (A friend), was ABSOLUTELY FREAKED OUT.

This troper and her Final Fantasy VII obsessed friend would often wait for our buses while gleefully bouncing up and down on our toes and chanting the lyrics to One Winged Angel.

This troper can sound like this when talking in Chinese. Apparently it's really disconcerting for others to hear him speak really rapidly.

This Troper has written music featuring ominous Greek chanting. She has also studied Hebrew and Koine Greek, and is teaching herself Latin, and hopes to some day be able to write something featuring ominous Latin chanting.

This troper once walked into a train with Oh Fortuna playing on an I-Pod speaker she had in her bag. Fellow passengers were freaked.

One of this troper's favourite things to do when bored is go on Rise of Legends, create a game with a 30 minute cease fire, and create a massive army with infantry, armour, air support, and a mobile fortress. As soon as the cease fire ends, he alt-tabs to his iTunes, plays the playlist filled with such delightful songs like O Fortuna, Dies Irae, Geass}} The Master and You May Call Me Father, goes back to the game, and utterly curb stomp the enemy AI to glorious music. It never gets old.

I tried to read the OminousLatinChanting article while listening to O Fortuna. I can't since I felt puny compared to the PureAwesomeness of that article.

This troper has a tendency to start humming or singing lyrics from One Winged Angel or O Fortuna when he passes classmates in the hall. This troper thinks he does this to creep them out.
