Samuel BarberAdagio for StringsHomeworld Soundtrack

Write me 1500 words on how 1999's Homeworld and 2001's Halo:CE, having similar overall settings and plot structures, used their groundbreaking scores to tell very different stories.

Then I'll accord you the right to have an opinion about... idk... Secrets of the Magic Crystal.

Track in link is the choral version of Samuel Barber's Angus Dei - Adagio for Stings as prepared for Homeworld. Arguably one of the most iconic tracks in the history of gaming. Gamers of a certain age will still feel their spine tingle and their throat close up...

    Games have barely existed for a couple decades, and they’ve only had pretentions of artistry for about half of their history.

    What's the art definition here. If I go by 1972s pong as the starting date for video games and go halfway up to now I land at 1997 which seems way later than when games introduced more than absolutely barebones stories (Secret of Monkey Island came out 7 years earlier) but way to soon before we enter the video games are art (they are movies with interactivity) thing that plagues us to this day
