The original score to the game Hitman: Blood Money 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 arangements with the choral parts in deep brooding Latin.[1]
In the composers 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: Contracts, 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." | ” |

[edit] Notes
As stated above, a lot of the tracks have an atmospheric Latin choral element. The male lyrics, in English, for "Hunter" were published on Kyd's forum by him and the forum's members worked out the Latin the result is below. The female lyrics apparently proved quite dificult to understand.[3]
| “ | I am a dark tempest rolling across the land |
” |
Which, for the male choral part, translates into Latin as:
| “ | Sum tempestas fusca
Qua perducit terra |
” |
