Film composer Jerry Goldsmith scored First Contact, his third Star Trek feature. Goldsmith wrote a sweeping main title which begins with Alexander Courage's Star Trek fanfare. Instead of composing a menacing theme to underscore the Borg, Goldsmith wrote a pastoral theme linked to humanity's hopeful first contact. The theme uses a four-note motif used in Goldsmith's Star Trek V: The Final Frontier score, which is used in First Contact as a friendship theme and general thematic link. A menacing march with touches of synthesizers was used to represent the Borg. In addition to composing new music, Goldsmith used music from his previous Star Trek scores, including his theme from The Motion Picture.

The one dislike was clearly the Borg Queen. Beautiful stuff

[@StanislavStanchev]

Hehe thank you so much!! :)))

[@holdtightadele8017]

You mean The Borg Queen II

[@liamatsutv]

What a beautiful piece, played so wonderfully! Thank you 🙏 🙏 It's no surprise at all that Terry Matalas relied on this theme so heavily in Picard S3...

[@putinscat1208]

Goldsmith is my second fav composer behind John Williams. He has some great themes.

[@DavideMazzetti]

Something quite hymn-like in this, possibly the most beautiful 'Star Trek' theme ever. Played beautifully by our own Stansislav :-)

[@StanislavStanchev]

Thank you very much Davide!! :dd

[@brianmcdonald6519]

My description is "hauntingly beautiful". I agree with you that it is possibly the best theme ever!!

[@pauljmorton]

I've said it before but I'll say it again. If humanity ever unites into a single nation and they don't pick this as their national anthem, I'll be eternally disappointed.

[@NyloElLobo]

My thought exactly

[@carolfitzhugh8097]

Such a simple melody but so beautiful.

[@dwilliams02]

It’s been a long time since music made me emotional, but that first chord at 0:20 made something happen with my eyes.

[@jesse8068]

On solo piano, this is somehow melancholic. Well done.

[@StanislavStanchev]

Thank you so much Jesse!! :))

[@1701EarlGrey]

Happy First Contact Day! And this is beautiful interpretation of this amazing melody!

[@StanislavStanchev]

Thank you very much! :))

[@Toogoodtobetrue458]

I love the melody to this tugs at my heart

Thank you very much for listening Peter! :))

[@acandrew920]

Bravo! Bravo! Whew, that gave me the chills! Nice work on such a majestic theme! I also play the piano and I was following along with my fingers on my desk as you played thru the sheets. Beautiful rendition!

[@StanislavStanchev]

Thank you so much Andrew! :) I love this theme as well :)

Perfect. Nothing added. Nothing taken away. Awesome. I just wish someone could do Captain Archer's Theme as well as this.

[@StanislavStanchev]

Thank you very much! :)) I will do Captain Archer in one of the future videos :)

Beautifully done. Found that sheet music earlier today and looked up the video. Think I'll buy the music and try it myself

[@StanislavStanchev]

Thank you very much! :)

[@atzuras]

Excellent layout for an iconic theme. Maybe it should go a bit more intense in the re-exposition (like a Klingon with a french horn)

[@juser7430]

Sounds so great👍👍 So beautiful ❤🔝

[@StanislavStanchev]

Glad you enjoyed it! :))

[@joannawronska4100]

Very beautiful indeed!!! This time well-known tune from a famous movie, thank you for an excellent rendition and for the sheet music, I like all your videos, but I'm looking forward to your classical pieces soon, as always my heartfelt greetings from Poland, have a happy day as well.

[@StanislavStanchev]

Thanks Joanna! Glad you liked it :))

[@berndkarbach3859]

Wonderful version of the most inspiring movie theme ever. Extremely today, while Ukraine fights against the Russian regime, I hope that the free world stand together and does, what every captain of our so loved Star Trek movies would have done.

[@Mr.SpocksBrain]

marvelous...

[@carlosflores-up1ue]

Hermosa melodia hasta me da ganas de tocar la cancion tambien en un piano pero no tengo pero lo intentare tocar en una flauta

[@StanislavStanchev]

Gracias Carlos! :) Sí, deberías probar la flauta :))

[@kindadramaticboi5117]

This is good!

[@StanislavStanchev]

Thanks!! :dd

[@brianmcdonald6519]

Really appreciate that you included the score to follow along as you played. I love this theme, and have been trying to find a video that included the visual of the score. You played it very beautifully. I can read music to an extent, but can only play the melody if I know it. I was able to follow along with you as it is a very simple score. I think your rendition was every bit as good as the full orchestration in the movie. Thanks for posting this!

[@StanislavStanchev]

I am glad that you enjoyed the video and that it's also helpful! :)) Best wishes from Bulgaria!

[@drantsplants]

Agreed. Such a legend for posting this, and so beautifully played.

I would love to see you do a video for star trek...the inner light.

[@StanislavStanchev]

Yeah why not :) I can record it in one of the future vids :)Do you have the sheet music for it?

[@matthewcarlon7122]

@@StanislavStanchev Hello, sorry for the long message, unfortunately I do not have the sheets for the piece I had mentioned. I wish I knew where I could find/obtain the sheets as I know they have to still be copy righted....i just know I havent seen anyone else on youtube do a tutorial for that particular piece, you would be the first. I have also been looking for a synthesia tutorial for the first contact theme, because I am a visual amd auditory learner, sadly I was never gifted with the ability to be able to read music, so I have to rely on my eyes and ears.

[@matthewcarlon7122]

I am also new to your channel and have subscribed and am currently going thru your list of tutorials. I thank you so much because I am able to watch and keep up. I do have to ask it, but do you do any lessons on read and play music??? I am trying my hardest to learn and need the help.

[@StanislavStanchev]

@@matthewcarlon7122 No problem :) I will try to look up the sheet for Inner light. As for the tutorials for reading music.. sadly at the moment i don`t have such videos. But I might do them in the future as well :)

Do you have more from Jerry Goldsmith? :)

Not yet :) Hopefully in the near future I will upload more of his music :)

[@Gumbercules]

Looking good here! Wish I could read music, I just learn by listening and playing. I play a little piano myself... ( I play a regular sized piano too. ha ha!) I can only play by ear. Love what you're doing. I'd be grateful to hear what you think of my playing style. It's always good to learn from others. Anyways just subbed up. Love the content!
