Star Trek on Church organ - A musical journey

Unsere Reise endet in der Zukunft, genauer gesagt im 24. Jahrhundert. Auf dem Raumschiff U.S.S Enterprise brechen wir auf zu einer Reise durch das Universum, mit all seinen Gefahren und Schönheiten.
Das Medley habe ich selbst zusammengestellt. Folgende Songs sind enthalten:
- The original series
- Deep space nine
- First contact (Main Theme)
- Star Trek (2009) (Enterprising young men)
- Voyager
- The next generation

This is exactly what I'd imagine I'd hear every sunday when I go to the Church of Star Trek. TNG 1:1, And Picard said "Make it so", and by Picard's grace, it was made so.

[@pran-z7p]

SNW: For it was Pike who said “Punch it” and Ortega who did just that-sending the Enterprise at speeds far beyond what is comprehensible to those of today

[@SciFiLeslie]

I used the First Contact theme as my wedding march back in 2003. I knew it would sound amazing on a church organ and it did!

[@DarkLordLestat]

Mind if I ask, where did you get the Star Trek First Contact sheet music for church organ from as I am looking for my wedding and can't find it, just the piano version

[@cblodg1]

That First Contact version was amazing. Gave me literal chills.

[@jensjohannesandersen1634]

Vielen Dank für das Teilen dieses Videos. Es ist spektakulär, zur Musik der Star Trek Band den wunderbaren Klang der Orgel und Ihre Virtuosität beim Musizieren hinzuzufügen. Langes Leben und Wohlstand

[@emilynightingale7758]

As an organist and a trekkie, I say thank you. Thank you very much.

[@rolandrio6583]

Welcome to the First Unified Church of Star Trek. If you would, please silence your communicators and take your seats, today's sermon by Reverend Roddenberry will begin shortly. ;)

[@Jalkoth]

Reverend? no he would be equivalent to the pope or our god

[@dragoninthewest1]

Roland Rio his Holiness Roddenberry

[@dragoninthewest1]

Daniel Appleton being agnostic and an atheist aren't mutually exclusive. Most atheists identify also as agnostic. An agnostic atheist claims they're not sure if there is a God or cosmic Force but they think the odds are more likely not then yes.

[@Ostermond]

I would join that church.

[@Robert08010]

Do you realize how easily would could have all been "Scientologists" or something similar? I mean, who was L.Ron Hubbard but a failed sci-fi writer? If Roddenberry had been a megalomaniac, we might all be a part of some quack religion saluting one another, wearing uniforms and buying memoribelia and ... hey, wait a minute!!!

[@PaoloGiovanoli]

Yes, but.... why does God need a starship?

[@burr1aj]

Paolo Giovanoli I believe the man said, What does GOD NEED with a starship!?

[@taffman1]

Because God is lazy.

[@83nuvola]

Oh come on Jim, you don't ask the Almighy for his ID!

[@MrCarls814]

You haven’t answered his question what does God need with a starship?

[@veganconservative1109]

@@83nuvola Possibly the only truly good part of that particular movie.

[@xdashlydia]

This reminds me of a funeral in 2015 for a dear friend, a science fiction fan...the recessional music was the ST: TOS theme played on the church organ, and it was deeply moving. Live long and prosper.

[@JamesCutlervk2tim]

I admire this, because (for those who do not know) Star Trek is a series about living in a better world

[@FFNOIBN]

I have been a Star Trek fan since I was little (I'm 61 now) and I think the one truism regarding Star Trek is that it is a series about living in a better world and also embodies and embraces what a lot of people over the last few years especially have walked away from and that is the idea that we are all members of one race here on earth the human race if you look at the diversity of the crew on board the original series enterprise you had: James T. Kirk is from Riverside, Iowa, commanding officer of the USS Enterprise. Spock from the planet Vulcan is half human/half Vulcan, first officer and science officer. Dr. Leonard McCoy is from Atlanta, Georgia, chief medical officer. Montgomery Scott is from Aberdeen, Scotland, chief engineer. Nyota Uhura from is South Africa (Swahili/Bantu), communications officer. Pavel Chekov is from Russia, navigator and security/tactical officer. Hikaru Sulu who is from San Francisco, California is American-Japanese, helmsman With such a diverse cast representing different places on earth and one from outer space I believe this is just well I think that when it comes to the acceptance of life elsewhere in the Galaxy what I believe is symbol if God created earth and the human species on earth what's to say he didn't do something in the rest of the universe similar to earth just a different group of beings and I think the simplest answer would be to that end it's possible however unlikely to some God created us and the world we live on so it is not unreasonable to hypothesize the possibility of God creating life on other worlds in other parts of the universe and Star Trek I believe embraces that in so many ways.

[@andrewlane801]

The 1st Contact theme is really moving, thank you.

[@LeftoverSundriesMan]

Every part of this medley is goals, from the beginning with the TOS intro riff and DS9 arrangement to the transition to that godly (pun possibly intended) rendition of First Contact theme, with the new Star Trek theme as an interlude, to the Voyager theme with its key shifted up a half step, making it feel dreamier even more upbeat, and ending with the grand finale of the TNG/TMP theme, the golden age of the franchise.

[@yeetorbyeeted]

0:00 - Star Trek TOS Theme 0:34 - Deep Space 9 Theme 1:48 - First Contact Theme 3:26 - Enterprising Young Men 5:38 - Star Trek Voyager Theme 6:48 - Star Trek The Motion Picture Thanks to @Nicholas Barnard. (I apologise if any of the timing is off.)

[@NickCBax]

Except 6:48 is the theme from The Motion Picture.

[@_Joshua1004_]

Nicholas Barnard actually it’s both The Next Generation and The Motion Picture. The Next Generation just starts different but does have the same medley.

[@weepingscorpion8739]

Looks right. Although I'd say that First Contact starts at 1:39 or 1:40 rather than 1:48.

[@algoy001]

Mein Gott, bei 1:50 traf es mich, das ist wunderschön. Vertraut und doch passend zum Ort. Obwohl, ich glaube, wenn hier in meinem Dorf in Organist soetwas wagen würde und die Gemeinde bekommt mit, dass es Siencefiction ist, dann rufen die in Rom an und holen sich das OK für einen Scheiterhaufen ;-)

[@danielrosser5025]

Jesus, but that First Contact theme tho!

[@b43xoit]

The organ seems the ideal instrument for Trekkie music.

[@Incadazant01]

Correction: the organ is the ideal instrument for very nearly everything.

[@amovieguy]

Complexity of such a machine is impressive.

[@johnmarston4012]

I honestly come back to this video so often. The enterprising young men has got to be my favourite. Thank you for giving us this compilation yet again.

[@carinasalomon737]

Thanks you sooo much for this video. After seeing this in 2016 we used "first contact" as the entry song in our wedding. My hidden star trek secret. Not too obvious but beautiful - I think just my brothers noticed it ;-)

[@HannesBritz]

What a beautiful story! :) Congratulations for your wedding :)

[@josephinedracul6198]

She did it...my wedding was this weekend (15.10.16) and our organist played 'First Contact'...a childhood dream came true...it was so absolutely stunning...I still have tears in my eyes when I think of it... Thank you very much for giving us the right advice! :-)

[@HannesBritz]

suddenly in english? :P but I'm very glad to hear that, it was an honor to help you ;) Live long and prosper!

[@josephinedracul6198]

+Usodawi Yes, because I wanted people to understand how much you have helped me :-)....and realised that English is the language you should use on KZbin :-D...

[@HannesBritz]

Wow thank you very much :D

You deserve far more than thumbs up man! Great! On a side note... that'd be my dream as well!

You are seriously making love to that organ. You really boldly going where no-one has gone before. All of that piece is just magical, absolutely wonderful. It speaks volumes to me.

[@Samuel_BR1974]

Fenomenal ! I almost cried

[@andreaseickhoff5291]

@Daniel Appleton YES SIR SPOCK

[@jeremywilson8192]

There is good in the world...

[@Adara007]

I love 1:46 onwards - the "First Contact" theme. With the ST themes being payed on a church organ, I keep thinking about ST V and the question, "Excuse me, I'd just like to ask a question. What does God need with a starship?"

[@hinderkbogena9091]

😃 Gänsehaut pur 😃 🖖

Live long and prosper.

[@Elliebes]

Amazing be even better played on a Cathedal organ!

That Voyager Theme made me cry. It was the first Star Trek series i watched and i was hooked on Star Trek ever since.

[@zentralkonnektor]

Thank you for The first contact 🖖

[@alastairward2774]

I honestly can't say which sounded most splendid, I never thought they'd sound so good on the organ, nicely played.

Google translation of above publisher's/musician's remarks: Our journey ends in the future, more precisely in the 24th century. On the spaceship US Enterprise we set out on a journey through the universe, with all its dangers and beauties. I put together the medley myself. The following songs are included [see above].

Kommentiere zwar reichlich spät aber nach dem Like musste ich auch was schreiben. Nur was? Ich hab die Star Trek Themes jetzt schon in unzähligen Varianten gehört aber so noch nie. Ich bin kein Fan von Gott oder der Kirche allgemein aber das hier ist mitunter eine der besten Varianten die ich je gehört hab. Davor ziehe ich gern meinen Hut.

I guess we've been making this TV show into a religion from day one.

[@josephinedracul6198]

Ich wollte auf meiner Hochzeit immer das Stück von 'First Contact'...jetzt ist es am 15.10.16 soweit, Organistin gebucht und jetzt müsste es noch SO klingen.... Lohnt sich die Anschaffung dieses Buches also nicht wirklich? Schade....

[@HannesBritz]

+Josephine Dracul Also die Melodie steht schon drin, und First Contact finde ich sogar eins der besseren Arrangements ;) An dem Buch stört mich vor allem dass viele Parts einfach weggelassen werden, Dinge gekürzt werden oder schlecht aufgeschrieben sind. Das ist nur meine subjektive Meinung. Bei First Contact sind alle Parts die ich hier im Video gespielt hab auch wirklich so im Buch zu finden und auch gut aufgeschrieben, wenn ihr da überhaupt keine Noten dazu habt würde sich das so gesehen schon lohnen. Aber du musst auch bedenken, dass das Klaviernoten sind. Bei einer Orgel gibts ja noch eine dritte Notenlinie, die den Bassbereich und damit die Fußpedale abdeckt. Das steht ja alles nicht in den Noten. Ist an sich keine wilde Geschichte, das wird die Organistin bestimmt hinkriegen ;) Aber genau SO wird es auf keinen Fall klingen, dafür klingt jede Orgel zu verschieden und dafür improvisiere ich einfach zu viel :D Da ich auch keine besseren Noten zu First Contact kenne kann man das schon bedenkenlos kaufen. Oder du schuast mal, obs das im Internet auch einzeln digital gibt

[@HannesBritz]

+Josephine Dracul Hier zum Beispiel: www.pianoplateau.com/content/star-trek-first-contact-end-credits-jerry-goldsmith Das ist die komplette Abspannmelodie, aber da ist ja auch der ruhige Part drin, den ich spiel. Lediglich Anfang und Ende müsste man dann leicht abwandeln. Das ist jetzt auch ein gutes Beispiel, was mich an diesem Buch so aufregt. Da kauft man sich schon so ein Buch, wo Star Trek draufsteht, und dann findet man auf einer Internetseite, die so gesehen nichts mit Star Trek zu tun hat, ein viel komplexeres und schöneres Arrangement

[@josephinedracul6198]

+Usodawi Ich danke Dir vielmals für Deine ausführliche Antwort! Ich werde nach den Noten schauen, das Original-Stück mitnehmen und ihr ggf. dein Video zeigen. Dann wird sie mir wohl sagen können, ob das machbar ist oder nicht... Auf jeden Fall eine ganz tolle Leistung von Dir - das gesamte Stück! :-)

[@HannesBritz]

Hab ich gerne gemacht ;) Vielen Dank :)
