Thank you for your generosity! Great!

[@The22on]

BRAVO! Great arrangement, performance, everything! Thanks for posting this. It shows the genius of Alexander Courage. The song is a latin beat (flamenco?), which is unusual for a series set in the future. The chord changes and modulations are fantastic. The melody just soars like a spaceship because the melody has large octave skips. The opening four notes always remind me of church bells. The show would probably be a hit without a great theme song, but this theme song certainly helped the show a lot. It sounds futuristic and IMPORTANT. What a shame that Gene Rodderberry, the creator of Star Trek stole half of Courage's royalties. He did. Roddenberry made Courage sign an agreement to let Roddenberry write lyrics to the theme music. By doing this, Roddenberry was legally entitled to half the royalty payments. I praise Roddenberry for creating the show, but it sure was petty of him to steal half a composer's royalties!

It sounds like the real deal!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful! Great job! Thank you! I am looking at arranging it for a 6 piece rock band.

Thanks for the free scores! :)

[@gwilymselwood]

Such interesting harmony in this piece. Thankyou so much for posting

[@lwf3652]

Very well done! Everything's there, melodically and harmonically, achieved with the fewest number of notes I've seen in an arrangement of this theme yet.

This is a weird thing to say, but I think Courage made an 'error' on measures 3 and 4. You don't hear it because of all the jazz chords smothering it. But the scales are wrong I think. You basically have two scales set apart by a full tone. The melody starts on its own tonic, but the harmony is one full tone down, so melody relents and jumps into Bb, but ends on its own key on measure 2, resulting in the dissonant tritone. So far so good, but now, the melody should run with that and continue in its own tonic on measure 3 (sweeping the dorian), and the half tone switch in measure 4 is not just a transposition but a return to the harmony's tonic, sweeping now a lydian scale. Otherwise it's just a bunch of unmotivated transpositions and sounds like jazz.

I can'' t imagine Dr. Spock and Captain Kirk dancing this bossa nova in his Enterprise, but it is a bossa nova, with a quite melancholy melody.

[@daveaustin4538]

metacosmos Not a boss nova, more of a rumba. This is not the classic bossa nova baseline, and there is no bossa clavé

[@TheNueKid4]

MR.SPOCK!

I can't imagine Dr. Spock dancing at all!

0:48 is so choice 😂

Hello, it seems that your website has been archived. Is there any way to get this pdf?

[@NewMusicWeekly]

0:48 is reminiscent of Debussy's Prélude à l'après midi d'un faune: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmjVpXyjo6mee8U

[@Randor10]

What is the tempo of the main part of the piece? The music says 80bpm, but it is definitely faster than that. I’m not an expert at sheet music so maybe I missed symbol.

[@abaco62]

Time is 80bpm for every TWO quarter note, not for every quarter note :-)

[@leif1075]

@@abaco62 at :49 in, how are you supposed to play all those notes at the same time?? With the notes in red i mean? The red bass and balck bass notes all withbthe right and the left treble notes red amd black all with the left??

[@abaco62]

@@leif1075 The notes written in the upper staff must be played with the right hand, the notes written in the lower staff must be played with the left hand, unless otherwise indicated.

Finally someone at least tried to get the TOS theme! Finally not the next gen theme which sucks!

[@vjraman83]

very difficult to play this sheet!!

[@abaco62]

For a real pianist is a piece of cake.

[@elquetocapiano]

abaco62 why don’t you play it yourself then? this sounds like midi and is not a piano friendly arrangement ,beside that I saw you playing some real piano stuff arranged by piano friendly composers, I suggest you imitate them when you arrange or prove it and play it yourself , I did but leave many parts un played and went through as if it was a lead sheet from a fake book and managed to make it better

[@fatesmessage3271]

@@alicec1533 Or...try to follow me here... Maybe you're just bad? Or you seriously underestimate the ability of skilled pianists? It might be hard for you, but this is hardly what a serious musician would call "very difficult."

[@fatesmessage3271]

@@alicec1533 Dude, you can call it whatever the hell you want. The unarguable fact is that it's not hard to play for a skilled pianist. I'm just calling it how I see it.

[@Aaron-yh1vf]

Interesting Arrangement lol why did you transpose it up to B major in the main theme? seems kind of unnecessary but solid nonetheless.

[@fatesmessage3271]

It's not transposed. The actual theme is in the same key. Use your ears.

[@Aaron-yh1vf]

@@fatesmessage3271 My Ears are just fine thank you ;) The Netflix/CBS Versions play in Bb, Maybe its because they are remastered/Pitch corrected? not too sure but hey its your arrangement you can make it in whichever key you'd like. Peace~~

[@gfmcc]

@@Aaron-yh1vf I just double-checked to be sure. Series One episode one is definitely in B flat, but thank you to Jack Cannon for this very good arrangement.

[@moogyboy6]

Pardon my ignorance, but what's up with the red notes; is that for a second piano or something?

[@abaco62]

Black notes is the 1st layer, red notes is the 2nd layer. In the normal sheet, there are black notes only.

[@slapmyfunkybass]

Would have been handy to transpose it up a semitone into c.
