Star Trek: First Contact (J. Goldsmith) - Film Symphony Orchestra

[@Shindai]

My favourite theme of all the Trek movies, this composition does something wonderful to my brain that makes my eyes leak.

[@adriangails1015]

Daniel Gould I know, right?!

[@TheJohanMT]

Daniel Gould You are not alone. :)

[@deadsetanime7102]

Yeah, Kind of gives you hope for humanity. Music does that sometimes, well at least for me.

[@jakeclubinc]

Totally agree, I couldn't stop my eyes 'leaking' the whole way through. Words cant express how much I love this composition. Gerry Goldsmith at his very best ❤

[@sebastianecheverria1762]

When Star trek was hope, all ended with jerry Goldsmith

[@randy7068]

I remember the first time I heard the First Contact music, I was motionless, my jaw open in awe. Still impresses me to this day

[@LGranthamsHeir]

1:25 - 3:30 Theme of "Star Trek: First Contact" 3:43 - 4:54 Theme of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Very pleased to hear both back-to-back as the closing theme of "Star Trek: Picard" Season 3. Both represent the best movie and the best TV series in the "Star Trek" franchise 🖖

[@katerhamnorris3936]

We played this theme at my dad's funeral 2 weeks ago. I had a strong connection to my dad through star trek and this movie was my dad's most favorite. He wasn't interested in music that much so we decided to play this song and it fitted better then I thought.

[@plummet3860]

[@ralphrestubog5519]

But did you launch his remains in a photon torpedo casing?

[@RickWolfff]

I often wondered what this would sound like on a church organ. My condolences.

[@TKThemeParkReviewer]

so damn good to the best Star trek movie theme ever

[@robm5958]

they just don't make them like they used to... Even by today's standard, the movie is ahead of its time (the interior of the ship, outer hull design and uniforms are AWESOME)

[@shop99er]

After 54 years, the fanfare still gives me goose bumps

[@jandreidrn]

More people should explore Jerry Goldsmith's oeuvre. The guy has one of the most impressive works of any film composer.

[@ga002078]

First Contact them is the best of all Star Trek music

[@Nine-Signs]

I understand from comments elsewhere that the man who played the solo horn so masterful for the original piece passed away, may he live long and prosper where ever he now finds himself.

[@overthearch]

This really moves me and chokes me up to the point i cry everytime i hear it

[@jivebunny3765]

TNG theme at the start was too fast and too staccato, but very few orchestras get it right live. When it got to the First Contact theme, it was pretty much spot on.

[@theriocassius4338]

Groove Mistress Agreed

[@EdgyNumber1]

I agree there.

[@Gankhisprawn]

Technically it's not the Next Generation theme, but it's the Star Trek motion picture theme, which is why it's played at that tempo. They also use it as the "Star Trek" theme in the movies.

[@plummet3860]

its too fast all of it

[@nathanrobinson2130]

If you set the playback speed at .9, the TNG part sounds about right. Strangely, the FC theme is about right at normal speed.

[@susansylvia2833]

I think the First Contact theme has to be my favorite movie theme of all time. So beautiful.

[@dianagamez76]

I'm not a star trek fan BUT they killed it, amazing. BRAVO, BRAVO!

[@scottprice1943]

Captures Star Trek like no other, what a theme, beautifully played

[@Koldeman]

It's crazy to know that both the "ST:TMP" theme & the entire "First Contact" score were rush jobs & Goldsmith wrote them at the 11th hour. Absolutely genius work.

[@CrystalHickerson]

I want this played at my funeral

[@good_teanice_house6789]

Crystal, are you still with us? Just checking 😉🖖🏽

[@trainerleept]

Live long and prosper. X

[@DarkKitarist]

Oh this main theme is just so beautiful! Really a master piece!

[@dwayne0t]

Is that Neo conducting?

[@plummet3860]

i literally died

[@JackMacLupus]

Hey, everyone needs a hobby. XD

[@breadfan9]

Neo; "I know how to conduct" Morpheus: "Show me"

[@jared5803]

Neo needs a minute to download how to conduct

[@ElCholoDeJolo]

Hey man, the Matrix is a big place. Lot of time to kill

[@jflatley38]

Love how those trombones punch with their voice. Very well done as a whole!!!

[@Thomas-z1y6s]

One of my all time favorite movies. And the songs from the ending stirs my soul. Thank you.❤❤❤❤

[@thejoker2214]

this is my ever best favorit theme , and is maybe the best opening by any STAR TREK mouvie Capten Piccar go somwhere out there thyrd star at left , WARP 9!

INSTANT chills!!! Omg I’m in love!

[@trainerleept]

Heart wrenching. But then you'd have to be a trekkie to appreciate it.

[@jakeclubinc]

One off, if not the best Star Trek themes, Gerry Goldsmith at his very best. Love, love, love this

[@Spamminat0r]

I love it! Nice movie, great performance of your ochestra!!!!!!!!

[@netmaxess]

What a wonderful composition!!!

[@stephenpeters9125]

I like to imagine the conductor is Q

[@plummet3860]

my dad hates Q he refuses to watch any episode with him in

[@jakeclubinc]

😂😂👍🏻

[@auspiciousman]

Plummet tell your dad if Q heard that he would turn him into an ameboa

[@hensua72]

Jerry Goldsmith is a God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jayfeder8217]

That's Constantin-Martino Ortz conducting the FSO DIRECTOR

[@victorcreed8856]

A tad fast

[@hjustm]

+Brent Reckhard School event, so time was likely an issue. Still a good performance.

[@plummet3860]

a tad is an understatement

[@MrTbk1701]

One of the greatest scores ever 🖖

[@fatheroffab]

Live long and prosper, Mr. Goldsmith....

[@ptluchavez99]

Ah, the end credits score for Star Trek: First Contact. Awesome!

[@neilkesler9778]

Set a course for earth.... maxium warp!

[@Mr.Derogatory316]

Maybe that's why they're just a tad too fast with the music

[@Biglover29]

One of my favorite themes; great job!

[@Joseph-jq8ve]

This was really a beautiful composition for a fantastic movie

[@kaizen209]

Anyone else suprised by the audio quality of what is most likely a cell phone??

[@good_teanice_house6789]

I know right!!! From 2015 too.

[@jayfeder8217]

My favorite theme as well. Je rry Goldsmith was a musical. Genius anj Joel is coming along nicely.

[@Superiorer]

The First Contact part was amazing.

[@sportsgamingnetwork5315]

The First contact theme is like 5 Bpms fast but its still good

[@Newie67]

Let them never forget the name "Enterprise"

[@LGranthamsHeir]

MAKE IT SO!!

[@jandreidrn]

Wonderful! Maestro Jerry Goldsmith would've been so proud!!

[@realweareallamericans1685]

The conductor looks like a bad ass conductor ready to beat the crap of the The Borg.

[@Clayton240183]

Real WeAreAllAmericans or Agent Smith

[@foreverafanfilmmusic]

Thank you so much for this!!! You guys did an amazing job

[@justinmathias8463]

Yeah the first part was a little fast but not too much. I've heard faster BTW. Once they started playing the First Contact theme it slowed down to what we hear in the soundtrack. Really good work on this emotional score. Also really good recording! I take it wasn't recorded on a phone? I had it blasting on my headphones and I already played it 3 times. :D

[@richardslater3913]

My favourite song

[@trainerleept]

Wonderful piece of music. ❤️

[@marmediterranea]

They are Amazing ❤️❤️!

[@neoanimefreak_7606]

Epic music piece is epic

[@MsCreepyChan]

This was actually recorded on my 23rd birthday.

[@tripsadelica]

Many here say this was a tad too fast but it sounded okay to me. The conductor and orchestra deserve great kudos for not making any errors (lots of live performances have fluffs made in the brass sections) and playing the music the way Goldsmith wrote it. God how I miss Jerry! God how I miss proper soundtracks coming out of Hollywood instead of the synth crap that seems to have taken hold with no leitmotif at all.

[@seangunn3079]

THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[@colinfischer3628]

Simply the Best

[@gradman62]

Simply fantastic.

[@eyeofthescar6890]

Star Wars had Williams. Star Trek had Goldsmith. Not to mention his work on Rudy, Hoosiers, Air Force One and The Edge.

[@neoanimefreak_7606]

I'm amazed that this only has 351 Likes and a whole whopping 7 Dislikes and only 32.5k Views.

"There are 10 lights!"

[@ZoeDuneCorp]

Beautiful!

[@Adara007]

This First Contact theme was very moving. I wondered if the conductor had been inspired by what Khan - from the film "Star Trek: Into Darknes" - was wearing when first seen, especially on 'Kronos'?

[@bo2web]

Neo from Matrix as conductor !

[@trainerleept]

The matrix has you.

[@LGranthamsHeir]

Looks like Benedict Cumberbatch's Khan from "Star Trek: Into Darkness" to me.

[@jakeblack212]

sounds great!

[@bernd-steffenknoth9403]

Danke❤

[@matthewcarlon7122]

I would say job well done for a middle school and high school band and orchestra...yes, the beginning was way too fast but they had to make some part of it different or they would have faced a copy right infringment lawsuit, also they were more then likely on a time schedule, nervous, etc....but then they found their bearings, settled down and did an outstanding job for only being what I would say are only middle and high school age kids, so keep that in mind when leaving a comment folks and be kind because these kids were just beginners.

[@Stang428]

Yeah horns!

[@canman87]

When did Neo get into conducting?

[@keaixiaomeinv]

Hands-down the best Star Trek movie ever made. But the best theme must still go to Insurrection, even though the movie felt like a regular TNG episode.

[@LGranthamsHeir]

1:25 - 3:30 Apparently the 'First Contact' theme has been adopted as NATO's new anthem 🖖

[@vocalbruce7931]

I would love to find a conductor score of this

[@matthewcarlon5064]

the first part is too fast but after that it was ok, but as some have mentioned because of the time and it being a school event that's the likely reason it was played that way. otherwise everyone was probably nervous and finally settled down after first section

[@timchorle]

Back when Hollywood (or perhaps just the music legends we no longer have) tried to give each movie a true cinematic theme. Now it's just mostly forgettable background tracks.

[@jblonar]

Tim Chorle what about the marvel movies? They have some memorable musical themes

[@stefanandreas4705]

I agree Hans Zimmer was not good for the industry, all sounds the same now

[@LorindaDonovan]

NICE!!!!👍

[@1978rharris]

So damn fast, I'm out of breath!

[@hootie191]

how did they get kahn to conduct ?

[@randy7068]

Time is a fire in which we burn. Wrong movie but I like the quote.

[@matsch6777]

I think time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment... because they'll never come again.

[@Chen19960615]

Type "document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].playbackRate = 0.9" into chrome console to get speed right.

[@robbydeanboy]

WHERE DID YOU GET THE SCORE SHEETS?

[@Species1571]

Set speed to 0.75 for more accurate reproduction. Probably 0.8 or 85 would be correct, but 75 is the best we have,

[@masterkuffi]

Pherhaps today is a good Day to Die!

[@jeffcharlton9660]

Prepare for ramming speed!!

[@Ozolz]

shame would been so awesome if it was the same tempo as in the movie, not this frenzy speed

[@MrPooh18]

need to slow it down a wee bit...

[@magcorchny599]

Ouch. Somebody in the horn section is out of tune.

[@BleakVision]

Lovely, but a tad too fast.

[@dracopticon7788]

Yes, too fast. Otherwise well played.

[@thechakkim7993]

The sound of talking, coughing and pop corn bags ruined it.

[@gertsy2000]

@2:50 OMG

[@ComicswithDrew]

Conducted by Neo.

[@LGranthamsHeir]

Looks like Benedict Cumberbatch's Khan from "Star Trek Into Darkness" to me 😄

[@billjenkins687]

WAY too fast.

[@olentangy74]

The tempo is too fast.

[@julioverne579]

Way too fast.
