It would be nice to see her in action again.

[@mjspitz]

she got them home, that good ship and crew.

[@tomatodamashi]

I liked Voyager but I always felt a certain feeling of disappointment that they didn't push the concept further. I was hoping by the end that their ship would be an amalgam of various alien components salvaged/traded/etc in the effort to get them home. I expected greater conflict between the Maquis and the Starfleet crew, but all of that was never deeply explored. Enterprise's journey into the Expanse was a far better version of Voyager's Year of Hell.

[@roxannlegg750]

@@tomatodamashi Me too - Voyager is still my go to series when i need to retreat and relax. And I agree - they seemed to just have vanquished the Marquis after "State of Fllux" and "Basics 1 and 2". They let it pop up here and there with episdoes like "Meld" - but I think thhey just wanted to get on with the storyline. Afterall the Marquis were only a handfful of ppl compared with the Voyager crew. I wish they had kept more of the Equinox crew - I think there was more opportunity to see how traumatised and alone Star Fleet personel cope with re-integrating withh a well adjusted StarFleet crew again, after everything they endured. l I wish Voyager too had a greater role in the Prime universe, somewhere in the movies at least. Altho I suspect Kate Mulgrew wanted a break. She did say her Voyager career caused her to miss much time with her growing children. And their version of the inner light...OMG - I just sob every time.

This rendition of the Star Trek 2 theme is so incredibly good. It might as well be the master recording from the movie.

[@alpsskiingrocks]

It is actually better. The original score was done with a smaller pick-up studio orchestra as the entire film was made on a smaller budget than the original ST Motion Picture which was over budget and over blown. I remember reading at the time they used a skeleton orchestra with 20 violins as opposed to a full orchestra like London Symphonies which would have over 40. Smaller wind section, too.

[@antoniofernandez7075]

"The Enterprise" from The Motion Picture is unbeatable. The best theme in film history (and one of the best scenes).

[@michalschnek8745]

Definitely. Too bad that nowadays, in the "deconstruction era", they doesn't seem to want to make at least one scene like that where we could appreciate the titular ship in the show in it's full glory. I also always liked this main theme much more than any other. Probably because back in the day the Trek of my childhood was TNG :)

[@ChrisWeston42]

I think they ought to have done that with the TNG movies, especially when the introduced the Enterprise E. That said, I think First Contact was a masterful Trek film. They should have worked it into the end of Generations somehow, but I can’t image how that would have worked.

I did not expect to be instantly brought to tears when the flute began to play The Inner Light... What a powerful and lasting effect these shows have had on me.

[@sidpheasant7585]

That was a really great episode - how to fit so very much into 40 minutes? How to fit a whole other life into a few minutes? The show achieves with us what the story achieved with its character! Believe it or not one of my good (Trek-loving) colleagues regards this episode as lame. He is a few years younger than me, though. Think of Picard's secret longing to have lived a more conventional life with wife and kids. Deeply touching in all ways. In one of the movies, Picard cries at the death of his nephew - the closest thing he had to that family. And then Picard meets Kirk that time, and both dwell on the idea of being married to their ships - sometimes the real-life fate of the Navy officer... We should not let it mean anything to us out here in "the real world", yet we do and it does. In the original poem "The Inner Light" (which George Harrison also built on), we read "Without going out of my door, I can know the ways of heaven". Perhaps we should amend that to "some of/part of" the ways of heaven, but the Holy Spirit came to me in my bedroom, and from that moment I KNOW this is the truth. Star Trek did this kind of thing for us, and there was always a fierce debate as to whether the show was religious (Roddenberry was determined that it was not, and was not even such a nice guy, yet he had the vision - perhaps literally, and I am pretty sure there is divinity in there somewhere, in spite of everything).

The main melody from the First Contact theme, the one that starts around 1:04:55, is one of the most beautifully unfolding melodies I've ever heard. When it crescendos with the cymbal crash, no matter how many times I've heard it, I still get goosebumps. Jerry Goldsmith was such an amazing musician! Also, I'm so glad that they arranged a suite from "The Inner Light" Next Generation episode. In addition to being an excellent arrangement of that music, it reminds me in part why that is one of my favorite Next Generation episodes. Speaking of goosebumps, when Picard says "oh, it's me, I'm the someone" at the end of that episode... such a powerful moment. One of Patrick Stewart's best performances in my opinion.

I’ve been a Trekkie since ‘66. 47:34 That French horn player lost his embouchure for a second and flubbed the note. Since the horns were carrying the melody above the orchestra, it stood out like a sore thumb, otherwise it may never have been noticed.Things like that can happen to the best of players on any instrument. But the French horn is a notoriously difficult instrument to learn, control, and master. I played cornet for years, so I tried my friend’s horn thinking I could play it right away. The sound I made was akin to a moose calf calling to it’s mother. So I bow to musicians who have mastered the French horn. Cheers 🎺

[@appolonius5468]

So proud of myself for catching that before reading the comments, despite being a complete musical idiot otherwise. I can imagine it makes those with an ear for music wince like hell. I noticed the conductor pursed his lips as well.

[@TheCarnivalguy]

@@appolonius5468 You have a good ear my friend! Yes I noticed the conductor’s reaction, and upon his viewing the video later, me thinks he had a much stronger reaction away from the camera. 😏 That horn player caught an ear full over that.

[@acceptedsugar]

it physically hurt me. I was really looking forward to the Voyager part, and not only did that french horn split the note, the dynamics sounded really off

[@TheCarnivalguy]

@@acceptedsugar Oh my yes. It’s a beautiful theme and one of my top favorites. When I rewatch Voyager episodes I allow the opening credits to play to hear the theme & watch the nice CGI. Yes, it is too bad about that horn player and the one flubbed note. I suppose a sound engineer could smooth that over. Have you heard the Film Symphony Orchestra? They specialize in film themes & have a channel on YT. The orchestra is outstanding, and their conductor, Maestro Constantino Martinez-Orts is superb. Cheers!

[@garygardner972]

The music is very F Horn heavy. As a military Horn player for many years, I appreciate the difficulty of playing such a concert. Horns are the most magnificent instruments in the orchestra. Of course, I may be a bit biased.

[@matthewserdynski1699]

I don't know why, but every time i hear the theme from Voyager, it makes me cry. It's so beautiful.

[@meladdison9315]

It is evocative of the ocean to me. I love this theme, too.

[@Dargonhuman]

Both Voyager and Deep Space Nine get me right in the feels every time.

[@adamhousego9977]

You are complety correct, perhaps it's becuase they made it home.

[@elocoll]

O mesmo acontece comigo.

I was just thinking the same thing a minute ago and then saw your comment. I have always felt Janeway to be my Captain.

[@JimSting]

Enterprise reveal theme from TMP is a study in majestic, epic film scoring. It's just brilliant!

[@gregorycook3550]

The score for Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan is one of the best soundtracks for a movie ever. And also, one of the best sci-fi sequels ever produced for the big screen. ❤

[@simonnutrient276]

Agree completely.

[@robotickilldozer]

Mostly this is a great performance, but they really misinterpreted the Wrath of Khan title theme. The original soundtrack recording was a slightly botched rush job, but they really doubled down on that rushed, scrambling out of time feeling, and added a couple new poor decisions of their own.

[@craigknapp6318]

At 59 and being a lifelong Star Trek TOS fan, I had no idea that the "vocals" were performed by a human. I had always thought the original version from the 60's used a Theremin or something similar in order to simulate the vocals. I became very emotional seeing the finale of this video.

[@sitoudien9816]

Little known sad fact. There are lyrics to the theme song. It was written by Roddenbary as a cash grab. It was never recorded. His lyrics would appear in the sheet music. He would get royalties. Alexander Courage was not amused. So GR would be cowritter.

[@mdbruffy]

Actually, the signer had the hardest part. Everyone else had the music right in front of them.She didn't have that luxury. She had to have hers memorized.

[@lilianathehistorian2919]

I think his wife sang it (?)

[@DSGNflorian]

The vocals, performed by singer Louie Jean Norman (b. 1913, d. 2005) were only in the 2nd season opening title recorded in the 1967. Season 1 used the "cello version" (a more subdued arrangement also performed in this concert) and to avoid paying music royalties to the vocal performer for Season 3, yet another opening rendition was recorded using just a very theremin-like organ sound for the main theme instead of a human voice, screwing Loulie Jean out of continued royalties. Or so the producers thought. But then came the perpetual reruns, and because it is widely considered the best arrangement, most foreign markets ran Star Trek with only the 2nd season title sequence, so Loulie continued to receive her fee after all :)

[@mikeandrews9551]

The last piece they played from the original series with her wonderful voice took me back 50 years. Just fantastic.

[@muggl3z]

This performance has me tearing up more than once.

[@matteobonvicino]

The "Night on the Yorktown" is such a wonderful piece of music. It brings tears to my eyes every time I listen it.

[@chanmatthew1125]

Matteo Bonvicino I think so

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Yeah, the Jar Jar Abrams / Bad Reeboot Trek movies might be utter forgettable drek, but at least they did have some great music. Still glad they aren't making any more though.

[@Cyke101]

So much hope and optimism with just enough callbacks to Trek scores over the decades.

[@trekker3382]

when i first saw yorktown starbase and heard the music to it in the cinema, i couldn't stop myself from weeping .. the yorktown track is now going to be played at my cremation when my coffin conveys into the furnace (interesting fact - they called it yorktown because when roddenberry first conceived trek, he was going to call the ship uss yorktown - but of course that changed to enterprise)

[@theexile6605]

But how could the screenwriters be so dumb as to name a space station "Yorktown" when the term has always been used for a capital ship just as "Enterprise," "Lexington," or "Saratoga" has been?!! Get a clue people!

[@paulgrooveside2803]

How I would have loved to have been in the audience at this concert. Thank you to the people who posted this video, its wonderful. I've been to the Prague film music festival in 2019 and that was a very special time too.

[@Eric-1701]

This concert was incredible. Such talent!! Hearing each one of these themes being played brought back so many feelings, much like I was hearing them for the very first time! They are all so great, but it came as a surprise, even to me, that I enjoyed the DS9 theme the most.

@@mintydog06 Horns, strings and timpani - there's not much more you need for the DS9 and Yoager themes. Ok, some flutes and clash cymbals.

[@praics]

Like many I have been watching since the original tv series. At the 10 second mark the goosebumps came and then the floodgates opened. Wow, you just don't realize how much this music has impacted you over the years until you sit and listen to this. I find it interesting that I immediately knew each song...

[@theexile6605]

I have watched many great orchestras perform, but I don't recall seeing any of them enjoy themselves as much as this fine group does here. My only quibble with the selections is that I would definitely include the surprise attack by Khan from Star Trek 2.

[@pastateconstablesoffice]

Agreed - Horner's scoring for that scene is a huge reason why that is my single favorite scene of any Star Trek franchise be it film or television. Also - you may enjoy listening to the opening "Prelude" and the tracks "Introduction" & "Clouds" of Bernard Hermann's score for the 1961 film version of Jules Verne's Mysterious Island - I suspect Horner may have been inspired by it … kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXPRmGeoeK-Ki9k

This is a dream concert. Two hours of music spanning a huge swath of movies and TV series, a full boys choir, a handful of tasteful variations to the original music, and excellent performances. (I appreciate how they played only the beautiful portion of the First Contact opening.) A few pieces brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely fantastic--I enjoyed every minute of it.

[@MattLovesVinyl]

The use of what is perhaps the single-best queue in the entire series of films (Stealing the Enterprise from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) makes this so much better than a rundown of all the various themes. What a wonderful symphony created from some great music, but really, that queue pushes it over the top! Great work, whomever arranged this concert!

[@theexile6605]

Well said, except that Mr. Spock would remind you *whoever* would be the appropriate usage since it is the subject and not object of that clause. You would use "whomever" if you said "it was arranged by whomever." Cheers!

[@cinemusicberlin]

It's also "cue", not "queue".
