Thank you, Sir. For making "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country", such great movie experience. The Sign-Off, and the ending suite, were really great for me.
This was the most intense Trek theme ever; I remember being glued to my seat opening weekend just from the opening score. So much so that this became the first Trek theme song I played a cover of on TH-cam. The complexity of your timing (and your note riffs) is incredible. It's so much fun to play!
The soaring bit with the ice cliff was good, and the battle at the end were certainly highlights, but I wish Nick Meyer hadn't wanted such a plodding intro over the credits. It was brooding in a way that clashes with Star Trek's general optimism.
Not a bad move - it's very effective in the movie. And it's not a copy, either. Most movie composers use elements from classical music; there are loads of collages from sources as diverse as Hausegger and Berwald in the work of John Williams, for instance.
Well then you could say John Williams copied Stravinsky, Holst and Korngold, all art is inspired by.something, if you listen to both the Firebird and The Planets, Eidelman's theme is on a different octave and the notes and orvhestrations are different but still similar enough to make that connection.
It's brooding. And it's in a ternairy meter. But that's where the similarities end. Stop being so dramatic, and don't discredit this great composer's hard work.
Best Star Trek soundtrack ever!! I'm still listening to it in 2022!

This is a great film score, such a dark tone as well as a great movie in the series.
I love this score.
From my perspective the best Star Trek movie score ever!
This was one of the dopest film scores ever. Definitely Cliff's magnum opus.
The music was perfect!
This is THE best intro music for any film that is designed for thriller/adventure film; from Flynn to Spielberg. It’s perfect
Cliff I love your stuff soooo much. Please visit LA so I can see the hunk himself
He also did a rendition of the Alien trilogy

Yep, that's where he and Roddenberry disagreed with primarily was the tone, but in my opinion it was still a good movie with a great score.
@@iceomistar4302 , Meyer was correct, and Gene was wrong.
It was good. Nothing similar about main theme and Mars The Binger of War at all. 🙄 The ending was totally appropriate.
"Let's talk about the opening of The Firebird" - And so Eidelman simply COPIED the opening of The Firebird. Bad move.

He can be something of an acquired taste, but this interpretation is just about perfect. A reference recording if ever there was one.
