I'm looking for a website that has musical arrangements for Video Game theme songs. I found a few sites with piano and other instrument arrangements but I have yet to find one for a Choir (Voice)
Can someone please help me

Could you please be more specific? If it's about Square Enix games, it will be VERY hard to find one, as they themselves haven't published any SATB book. Heck, I'm not even sure any game company has released a choral book, as there are few pieces with vocal parts.

Oh, you refer to THAT kind of music... Obviously, those aren't "choral" pieces, just choral arrangements of instrumental pieces. For this kind of music you can find many piano music sheets. If I were you, I would take one of those and divide it in two or four parts, depending of the complexity of the song. If it's something basic, you could break it into a female voice and a male voice (I'm thinking in the Tetris main theme) If it's more complex, you could try a SATB (the Super Mario Bros. Overworld Theme is perfect for this).

But definetly there are no choral sheets for this. Like those guys, you'll have to arrange the songs yourself. If you're aiming for even MORE complex music (say, FF music), it'll be a pain in the neck, but it's possible. I'm no music genius, but I may help you arranging.

Does anyone know any song that has choral in latin or not.
cause the ones i've already know are:
Final fantasy: one winged angel, liberi fatali.
Ace combat: I dont remenver the names, but I have all of them.
Kingdom Hearts: Destati
Mozard: Dies Irae, Lacrimosa
Star wars Episode I The Phantom Menace: Duel of the fates
Carmina Burana: Fortuna imperatrix Mundi
Yu Yu Hakusho: Seishin no Shouri
The Matrix Revolutions: Neod�mmerung

If you notice, all of them are very strong songs and that is waht I'm looking for.

well I think it's all...
does anyone know any other?

Assuming you're talking about the Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, also the movements "Fortune Plango Vulnera" and "Ecce Gratum" (i think those are 2nd and 4th movements) have some powerful musical lines! (BTW One Winged Angel's lyrics are part of that Carmina Burana)

You're looking for pieces in latin, but I see some that are not precisely games:

Mozart: Dies Irae, Lacrimosa (From his Requiem)
John Williams: Duel of the fates
Carl Orff: Fortuna imperatrix Mundi
Yu Yu Hakusho: Seishin no Shouri
The Matrix Revolutions: Neod�mmerung

If you're looking for ANY kind of music with latin chorals, you could look in sites like cpdl.org (that stands for Choral Public Domain Library) there are TONS of music written in latin. If you're interested ONLY in VG music (I suppose you do, as you're postin in the Video Game Music forum), there are few pieces and I can't remember any right now

it's all about music, isn't?
well like I said, latin or not, some songs can be very good without the latin lyrics, like the theme of Fantastic 4 (John Ottman, I think I need to show some names here), Duel of the fates don't have choral in latin, the song from yuyu and matrix (Don Davis) doesn't have choral in latin either.
I'm looking for songs in that same style y'know?
Can be from games or not,but still, good songs, see?
Devil may cry 3 Vergil battle 3 it's good too.

Star wars Episode I The Phantom Menace: Duel of the fates
The Matrix Revolutions: Neod�mmerung

Those contain sanskrit, not latin.

"Exceeding Love" from Suikoden III is a great choral piece. The lyrics aren't in Latin, though. I've read that they aren't in any language, although I don't know if that's true.
