I'm 62 years old, been a Star Trek fan for as long as I can remember. Watching the daily reruns when I was younger. Your music brings back so many fond and beautiful memories that are priceless to me. Your talent is light years ahead and better than any Klingon opera. Thank you so much for doing this. 😃
Sou fã de star Trek desde adolescente. Parabenizo ao viodance por essa obra prima realizada com todos os temas das séries do universo criado pelo saudoso gene roddemberry
@@madmattman5675 "WE're lost and away from home...but no matter how far it takes us, we won't lose hope" That's what Voyager's theme's, always conveyd to me.
I never understood the ire over "Faith of the Heart" It conveys the whole 'We're taking a while, but we just keep one step forward to a better future, in exploration. Always felt the intro-sequence to Enterprise, should've included Laika, though.
I am 65 years old. As a small child, STAR TREK was the only place I saw human beings, real men, real women, be descent human beings. They did the right thing, because it was the right thing to do. I will always remember that, and I will try - as best as I can - to uphold that ideal. So thank you for this beautiful reminder that dreams do come true.
I don't remember a lot of descending happening on Star Trek. They used the transporters to go to the surface of planets, so I wouldn't really classify that as 'descending'.
Friend, you took the words from my mouth, as I exactly had the same experience and tried to copy these ideal since my childhood. Star Trek has shaped my being and my character and I am proud of it. No matter how good or not so good the individual story of an episode was, in my opinion the best values were credibly conveyed. Star Trek was and is a beacon of social coexistence. I always hoped that the world and its mostly stupid people would at some point become a little bit more Star Trek, i.e. peaceful, educational, fair, empathetic and less religiously superstitious.
I've been a lifelong fan of Star Trek from the original series up until Discovery and Strange New Worlds. Loved TNS, DS9, and Voyager! For the Federation! For StarFleet! I've always loved the violin and this video made me respect the instrument even more!
Strange new worlds to me wasn't bad, but Discovery really screwed up with the look of the Klingons.They should have never messed with the original version of the Klingons from the original series to how they looked in TNG,DS9 and Voyager.
I just noticed that Star Trek has the best theme songs. There is not a single one I hate. I love all of them! And yes when I mean all of them I mean all of them included Star Trek: Enterprise
The Archer's Theme is sad but also powerful. Hopefully one day humanity will be united in peace and reach out to the stars. To boldly go, where no one has gone before.
I am a 73 year old Trekker and this is one of the greatest musical tributes to ST that has ever been produced. She MUST be a guest artist on SNW and LD!!!!! I have sent a link to this to our grand daughters!!!!! They are fans of SNW and LD. THANK you for sharing your wonderful talent
Nope.. I'm totally not bawling my eyes out at 6:30 AM on a Saturday like a big blubbering 40 year old idiot. Nope. Not at all. Some sadistic Cardassian is cutting onions. Or a Klingon farted. Or something. ... Seriously though, I've never heard such a love letter to the shows and the fanbase. All of these pieces are lovely in their original forms and by themselves, but ... together, and the way you play them renews my love for the shows, the series., the stories. Thank you. I know this took a lot of time, effort, and probably money. I have nothing to give back but my adoration and appreciation. Thank you, once more.
I am 67 years old. Still enjoy the original series. Star Trek has been one of the joys in life. To bad our society has learned nothing from the messages offered in all the series and movies. Thank you for all the themes and hard work you put into this.
I'm hopeful that we're heading towards something like a Star Trek reality. It's a film that foreshadows many human achievements and I believe "being human" will be one of them. I can no longer stop seeing a human as one, before our ideologies, we are those same humans. I'm from Brazil and I can tell you that the message of the Star Trek series has influenced and continues to influence many in the world
First Contact's theme is always such an emotional piece. And I really enjoy how they weaved it into the end medley of Picard Season 3. -- Fantastic collection perfectly suited for the violin.
Surely there's an upcoming episode of Strange New Worlds where a violin player is called for! With the amount of effort you've expended, not to mention the raw talent on display, you deserve nothing less than a role on the show!
Star Trek brought me and step dad together. It help forge a bond between us. Sadly he passed away in 2018 from Superflu because of diabetes complications. They put him in a chemically induced coma. They tried to revive him. He never woke up. Last thing he said to me was he was proud to call me his son. 😢🥲. 🖖🏼
Starfleet's finest violinist going where no musician has ever gone before. Her uniforms, her music and her grace speak millions of words in the Final Frontier. To her and her posterity will we commit our music. And she will visit all the Undiscovered countries going boldly where no musicians have ever gone before.
I love that the TNG portion includes the unused, alternative version. While the current TNG theme is a classic, I really love the alternative version as well.
Just found this video and was brought to the brink of tears! The beauty of the music and the beauty of your emotions as you play made such a beautiful video. Thank you so so much.
11:34 not me bawling my eyes out at your version of "Where my heart will take me" - definitely couldn't be me, someone else must have broken in and put tears on my face 😅🥲
The day this video dropped on TH-cam, I had just gotten off an exhausting and long shift at work. It was exactly what I needed to unwind and relax. As a lifelong Trekkie, thank you from the bottom of my heart. May you live long and prosper.
I am now 55 years old. Star Trek premiered in my Homeland Germany in 1972, so I experienced the series from an early age. For me, Star Trek - dubbed into German and unfortunately somewhat abridged - was my first contact with the fascinating field of science fiction, which I have been able to let go of completely ever since. With the advent of the Star Trek movies and Star Trek The Next Generation, I became a real Trekker or Trekkie (whichever term you prefer). Since then I read, listen to and watch everything that has to do with it and the enthusiasm may sometimes take a little break ... but it always flares up again (most recently at the premiere of Star Trek-Strange new Worlds, which is an incredibly successful continuation of the concepts and philosophies devised by Gene Roddenberry). This video here on TH-cam fulfills a special wish of mine, because of course Star Trek is always associated with the fascinating symphonies of the great composers Goldsmith, Horner, McCarthy ... and so many, many others. My compliments to the magnificent violinist and all those involved for this high-quality contribution.
The "Jeffries-Tube" - Version of "The Inner-Light" - had me! - I'm an 50 Year old man, but I'm standing in a Lake of Tears .....So many Memories Return!
I just want to let you know that this is the first time I've heard your musicianship and i think you did an amazing job with all these pieces. You are an incredible musician and i look forward to hearing more from you.
I'm a boomer. I was a little boy when I saw the original episodes with awe and wonder. This brings them back in a way that's different and new. Thank you for sharing your enormous talent with your fellow Terrans. 🖖🌠
With your incredible talent and passion for Star Trek, you have created a masterpiece that will make the hearts of all Trekkies beat faster. Your journey through the different series is like a journey through time through the galaxy. From the iconic sounds of the original series to the modern themes of Prodigy - you breathe new life into every song. Your violin sings of the Enterprise's sense of adventure, the unwavering hope of Starfleet, and the boundless vastness of space. With every note, you bring the emotions of the series to life and let us experience the fascination of Star Trek all over again. Your video is more than just a cover. It is a tribute to a beloved franchise that has inspired us for generations. It is a gift to all Trekkies who have ever dreamed of exploring the stars. Thank you, VioDance, for this incredible gift. You have touched us with your talent and your love for Star Trek and taken us on a journey through the galaxy!
I have been a Star Trek fan ever since I saw Wrath of Khan in the movies when I was 6. Each week for several months I have been listening to your Evolution of Star Trek Themes before I go on to watch six hours of Star Trek on Saturday. Last week I had to go to a funeral so I didn't watch Star Trek until Sunday. When I pulled up your other video this one came up as well. So I watched it. And I cried. Twice. Then I watched it again. I have watched it at least twice a day since it dropped. I have told all my friends and family about it. I signed up for Patreon. I believe every Star Trek fan should either buy it or sign up for your Patreon. This is beautiful. This is magical. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and your vision with us. Fan for life.
Thank you for the beautiful words, Sam! And thanks a lot for supporting us and for encouraging others to do so. And wow, 6 hours of Trek on Saturdays, you definitely deserve the title of "King of Trekkies" 😄 (You don't give much detail about the funeral, but sorry for your loss)
I love how you pulled the Picard maneuver in the middle of the next generation song. That was just brilliant! You are spectacular to listen to, and amazing to watch.
You have made me cry. A lot. But in a good way... I'm in a bit of a bad time in my life at the moment and star trek is my happy place to go to... And then finding this video... Thank you! You just made someone very happy. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this for free to everyone. Brings back fond memories of watching TOS, TNG, & Voyager with my dad as a kid; Star Trek is truly a treasure, and you captured that so well. May you live long and prosper 🖖
Thanks a lot for your generosity and for sharing with us your personal story with Star Trek. I'm sure there are a lot of us with similar experiences ❤️🖖🏻
Years ago, my grandfather (RIP) played violin with the California Pops Orchestra (formerly known as the Peninsula Pops Orchestra). I used to routinely attend his seasonal concerts especially the Hollywood-themed ones featuring movie & television scores including Star Trek Through The Years. Your renditions of the Star Trek TV & movies theme songs brought back a flood of fond memories. I couldn't hit the subscribe button fast enough. Thank you.
What incredible talent, both in front and behind the camera. I can't help but think that this performance is driven by a real love of Star Trek in all its iterations. IDIC. Thanks for the memories!
Yes, that gets my tears flowing every time. The Inner Light is another one. However, there’s a sad movement in the Star Trek: Insurrection theme that had me weeping uncontrollably recently. Beautiful music all brought to life here. I’ve actually bought the whole album online. This kind of stuff is what I listen to in my car when commuting 😊
Prodigy on Solo Violin just works so well, but then I do love hearing Michaels work performed so well and also, the final part with Innerlight, perfectly done :)
Thank you for this. Absolutely amazing. Rose tinted glasses captured in the strings of an instrument and given back to us. Each note is a memory and reminder how why I love the Star Trek universe so much. 10/10. Wonderful performance.
That Inner Light Suite and First Contact theme are pure musical treasure. They transcend science fiction theme music and will be remembered as timeless pieces of music. The other themes are quite moving, evocative and full of sonorous perfection.
This is just girgeous. I particularly love DS9 and the subtle transition of the theme the series did from when the station was all on its own The early seasons versus the widespread bus stop of sorts later on.
Can never get enough of Star Trek soundtracks, but what really makes this video perfect is how you add your own touches to them in a manner true to the track. It's the perfect seasoning to the meal
This is absolutely beautiful. I'm a massive Star Trek fan and it's wonderful to listen to all these themes so wonderfully played. You have a real talent, and have brought honour to your House! Thank you so very much for doing this. Live Long and Prosper!
A couple of years ago, I gave you a light ribbing about your lack of Faith (of the Heart). I'm so glad that you included the full song this time; it really is a great song in its entirety, even if it wasn't well suited as a theme song for a Star Trek show. Thank you, this was a wonderful experience to listen to. In particular, the DS9 theme was *haunting*.
Oooh, this is beautiful. And I was delighted when the TNG main theme transitioned into the alternate version. I’m going to listen to this on repeat the whole day 💚
Hello! I stumbled upon this and I’m amazed ❤ I am a 2nd generation Trekkie, I grew up on TOS and the others watching it with my dad. This is amazing and brings back so many good memories ❤ 🖖
33:53 I had no idea I was such a fan, hahaha. I hummed along to all the songs and what's more! I watched it until the end. OMG! I'M A TREKKER!🤗 She didn't even forget Picard's little flute...my goodness! in 32'29'' BRAVO!!!!!!!🖖🖖🖖🖖
What? No one has commented on how great the Generations Overture is, Including the 'Nexus' theme as well. Absolutely beautiful. Also, the Jefferies Tube version of the Inner Light theme was incredible, the trio that I never new I needed.
There are TH-cam videos, and then there are GREAT TH-cam videos, this is one of the GREATEST videos I've ever enjoyed. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
They say that a person is truly defined by their actions… Listening to you perform each of these fantastic illustrations, hearing all the heart and soul, dedication, hard work, interpretation, and the pouring of such energy into the music, it really painted a picture of what a wonderful, blessed soul, deep hearted, passionate, and loving person YOU are as a person. All your attention to detail - everything from specially crafted musical freedoms to set design and costumes, honors Star Trek, the productions, the actors, the 65 years of fans, and the ideals that Trek has always stood for. To say I so deeply and thoroughly enjoyed your music is perhaps a massive understatement because no written word can express the justice in joy and peace of true harmony that you have given me. Oh! What a beautiful and sacred gift you have given to all of us! I sincerely THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
Wow, these are the most beautiful words! Thanks a lot for appreciating all the work my husband and I put into this. Unfortunately, we have to do all this by ourselves, and it takes too much time and effort (especially with a 2-year-old child at home). So these comments, people watching and sharing the video, buying and streaming the album, members of Patreon, and even just subscribing to our channel, it really means the world to us. It makes us feel like all the work was worth it. So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️❤️❤️
@@VioDanceMusic I subscribed to your channel and purchased this album. Thank you for the kind feedback. I certainly understand how much time and effort is involved in a production like this. (Been associated with Hollywood and the movie industry for 50 years) And I also understand the toll and sacrifice it can have on your personal life. It just makes what you accomplished here all the more amazing! Good luck and I am looking forward to exploring more of your music and performances. (More purchases and likes) God bless you! You are truly an inspiration to my soul!
TH-cam recently recommended to me the Star Trek compilation you recorded 3 years ago and in the comments many were clamoring for an update. Wow, you actually made it! Excellent! Bravo! 😊
Wow, very impressive. Thanks a lot for sharing. This brings back so many fine memories. And I have to say: "The inner light" still touches me after so many years.
I love this. Been a Star Trek fan (Trekkie) since I was young ( I am 40 now). Beautifully recreated, composed and arranged. Paramount and CBS should take notice at this beautiful work of art and sound. Bravo. LLAP.
I feel like I've been waiting my entire life to hear this music, without ever having known it until this moment. Thank you for this magic. It is purely Divine 💖
It's wonderful seeing a classically trained violinist on a 5-string electric violin! Many violinists on TH-cam are talented, but your technique and expression are among the best I've seen. Beautiful playing!
Accompanying this on my virtual pipe organ at home was a pure delight. Plus, playing along to "First Contact" suddenly became almost impossible for me when my wife and me started bursting in tears -- since it's THE piece which started our relationship almost a quarter of a century ago. THANK YOU.
Your variations and fugues of each piece are absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for the love you have put into this program. Star Trek has been a part of my entertainment life since I was 13 years old when it first came out, and continues to be to this day. Your art is magical. Thank you.
I like those facial expressions. Like she's loading up a space howitzer of magnanimous proportions and blasting Klingons with a passion, either that, or reenacting counselor Troi's most epic moments.
Thank you so much for performing your interpretation of Inner Light... I first watched that episode on what proved to be (one of) the most important days in my life, and I've always have had a deep connection to it. You're version was lovely ❤☺
The Jeffrey's tube rendition was excellent, brought back the memory of the episode, the one time Picard let go of obligations and be happy for just a few minutes. Def can't go wrong with the voyager theme. Each tune i could see each title screen in my mind, and each captain saying: 'Space the final frontier....' Loved all of it 👍
Wow!! This is wonderful! You are so cool 🖖🏼 love the costume changes and esp the Trill! Thanks for making my day 😊🪄 and yes, the Picard maneuver!! LOVED IT! And for the first time, I loved the theme to ST Enterprise. Oh, and your space-age violin??!! wonderful! The different animations, this blew me away...just all of it! Thank you so much for this! Well done!
I'm 62 years old, been a Star Trek fan for as long as I can remember. Watching the daily reruns when I was younger. Your music brings back so many fond and beautiful memories that are priceless to me. Your talent is light years ahead and better than any Klingon opera. Thank you so much for doing this. 😃

There's something about the Voyager theme that just gets you. It's simultaneously yearning for home while boldly exploring an unknown frontier.
It always makes me feel loneliness, especially when played on a violin. Also it's hard to hold back tears 😥

Each week for several months I have been listening to your Evolution of Star Trek Themes before I go on to watch six hours of Star Trek on Saturday. Last week I had to go to a funeral so I didn't watch Star Trek until Sunday. When I pulled up your other video this one came up as well. So I watched it. And I cried. Twice. Then I watched it again. I have watched it at least twice a day since it dropped. I have told all my friends and family about it. I signed up for Patreon. I believe every Star Trek fan should either buy it or sign up for your Patreon. This is beautiful. This is magical. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and your vision with us. Fan for life.
Thank you for the beautiful words, Sam! And thanks a lot for supporting us and for encouraging others to do so. And wow, 6 hours of Trek on Saturdays, you definitely deserve the title of "King of Trekkies" 😄
(You don't give much detail about the funeral, but sorry for your loss)
I love how you pulled the Picard maneuver in the middle of the next generation song. That was just brilliant! You are spectacular to listen to, and amazing to watch.
Thank you! It was stressful because if I had failed doing it, I would have had to start recording from the beginning again 😅
4:22 😂
Thank you! 🙂🖖@@stakebuster
You wouldn't have failed.....You've got too much talent....@@VioDanceMusic
@@stakebuster And the "other" Picard maneuver at 2:58!
You have made me cry. A lot. But in a good way...
I'm in a bit of a bad time in my life at the moment and star trek is my happy place to go to...
And then finding this video...
Thank you! You just made someone very happy. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this for free to everyone. Brings back fond memories of watching TOS, TNG, & Voyager with my dad as a kid; Star Trek is truly a treasure, and you captured that so well. May you live long and prosper 🖖
Thanks a lot for your generosity and for sharing with us your personal story with Star Trek. I'm sure there are a lot of us with similar experiences ❤️🖖🏻
Years ago, my grandfather (RIP) played violin with the California Pops Orchestra (formerly known as the Peninsula Pops Orchestra). I used to routinely attend his seasonal concerts especially the Hollywood-themed ones featuring movie & television scores including Star Trek Through The Years. Your renditions of the Star Trek TV & movies theme songs brought back a flood of fond memories. I couldn't hit the subscribe button fast enough. Thank you.
That's a beautiful story and good memories of your grandpa ❤️ Thank you for sharing it
This rendition is absolutely beautiful. Bravo! I love everything Star Trek. First Contact is my favorite Trek tune. DS9 is my favorite TV series.
Best Star Trek content mAn
What incredible talent, both in front and behind the camera. I can't help but think that this performance is driven by a real love of Star Trek in all its iterations. IDIC. Thanks for the memories!
First Contact is the most beautiful Star Trek Theme ever. (For the younger ones. It is the soundtrack of the third Picard season.)
Big agree... It's somehow both hopeful and sad.
It feels like the home that was always meant to be, is finally here. I fall in love with that piece of music anew every single time.
Yes, that gets my tears flowing every time. The Inner Light is another one. However, there’s a sad movement in the Star Trek: Insurrection theme that had me weeping uncontrollably recently. Beautiful music all brought to life here. I’ve actually bought the whole album online. This kind of stuff is what I listen to in my car when commuting 😊
Everything is fantastic...
costumes, arrangements, videos, instrument, makeup, musical choices, etc.
It's simply WOW!!!
I listen again and again ;)
So excited to listen to this masterpiece on repeat!
OMG Thanks a lot Josh! Very generous of you! A hug from us ❤️
Your playing of this tribute brought tears to my eyes. The Human adventure IS just beginning. Thank you!
Prodigy on Solo Violin just works so well, but then I do love hearing Michaels work performed so well and also, the final part with Innerlight, perfectly done :)
Just stumbled upon this... 44 years and always a fan of Star Trek. This is absolutely wonderful, keep up the awesome work. Live Long and Prosper.
Thank you! Peace and long life 🖖🏻
Thank you for this. Absolutely amazing. Rose tinted glasses captured in the strings of an instrument and given back to us. Each note is a memory and reminder how why I love the Star Trek universe so much.
10/10. Wonderful performance.
I‘m a new fans of Star Trek. I accidentally saw Lower Deck and fell in love with Star Trek a year ago.
That's amazing! 😊
Seriously? You fell in love with Lower Deck? Not with TOS, TNG, ST: Deep Space Nine, Voyager.... ¡wow!
@@aitorhernandez7806 I think the show was too old to watch💀
Welcome to the family, your universe is about to become a whole lot bigger. Indulge, enjoy, my friend... Make it so.
The best way is to find the time line of all movies/all series and watch in chronological order to get the full impact each character has
Nice Picard Maneuver four minutes in! Beautiful playing.
That Inner Light Suite and First Contact theme are pure musical treasure. They transcend science fiction theme music and will be remembered as timeless pieces of music. The other themes are quite moving, evocative and full of sonorous perfection.
Love the way you wear the uniform of each crew and ship from each show you cover. So tastefully done. Well done.
This is just girgeous. I particularly love DS9 and the subtle transition of the theme the series did from when the station was all on its own The early seasons versus the widespread bus stop of sorts later on.
*gorgeous... forgive the autocorrect typo.
Yep! Two themes in one :) Glad you enjoyed it!
❤
Can never get enough of Star Trek soundtracks, but what really makes this video perfect is how you add your own touches to them in a manner true to the track. It's the perfect seasoning to the meal
The music of Star Trek Voyager is, for me, the most moving; it touches me deeply.
This is absolutely beautiful. I'm a massive Star Trek fan and it's wonderful to listen to all these themes so wonderfully played. You have a real talent, and have brought honour to your House! Thank you so very much for doing this. Live Long and Prosper!
A couple of years ago, I gave you a light ribbing about your lack of Faith (of the Heart). I'm so glad that you included the full song this time; it really is a great song in its entirety, even if it wasn't well suited as a theme song for a Star Trek show.
Thank you, this was a wonderful experience to listen to. In particular, the DS9 theme was *haunting*.
😅
Thank you for watching!
Faith is great!
The Voyager theme brought me to tears. Phenomenal talent. Bravo!
Same! Great memories of watching it with my friends in my teens!!
@@bradsmith3454 I hope we see more of Species 8472 in the future. Cheers.
I literally grew up watching this series, you got some tears from this old man. Thank you so much❤
❤️
Sixty years of music in one video. Incredible work.
Oooh, this is beautiful. And I was delighted when the TNG main theme transitioned into the alternate version. I’m going to listen to this on repeat the whole day 💚
Very few will notice the alternate version 😁 we didn't know about it till recently!
Thank you for listening!
Hello! I stumbled upon this and I’m amazed ❤ I am a 2nd generation Trekkie, I grew up on TOS and the others watching it with my dad. This is amazing and brings back so many good memories ❤ 🖖
No matter what form it’s in, the Voyager theme never fails to move me to tears. It’s just so beautiful.
33:53 I had no idea I was such a fan, hahaha. I hummed along to all the songs and what's more! I watched it until the end. OMG! I'M A TREKKER!🤗 She didn't even forget Picard's little flute...my goodness! in 32'29'' BRAVO!!!!!!!🖖🖖🖖🖖
What? No one has commented on how great the Generations Overture is, Including the 'Nexus' theme as well. Absolutely beautiful.
Also, the Jefferies Tube version of the Inner Light theme was incredible, the trio that I never new I needed.
Thank you for showing some love to our cover of Generation Overture! 😊❤️
Well, it is (allegedly) the most acoustically perfect part of the ship!
I loved the TH-cam VioDance presentation of this album so much, that halfway through it, I went online and BOUGHT the album!!!
There are TH-cam videos, and then there are GREAT TH-cam videos, this is one of the GREATEST videos I've ever enjoyed. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
Thanks a lot for appreciating our work ❤️
D’accord!
@@RenaatoCarioca Moi aussi, Je suis d'accord !!
The last music is a masterpiece of drama among masterpieces.
They say that a person is truly defined by their actions… Listening to you perform each of these fantastic illustrations, hearing all the heart and soul, dedication, hard work, interpretation, and the pouring of such energy into the music, it really painted a picture of what a wonderful, blessed soul, deep hearted, passionate, and loving person YOU are as a person. All your attention to detail - everything from specially crafted musical freedoms to set design and costumes, honors Star Trek, the productions, the actors, the 65 years of fans, and the ideals that Trek has always stood for. To say I so deeply and thoroughly enjoyed your music is perhaps a massive understatement because no written word can express the justice in joy and peace of true harmony that you have given me. Oh! What a beautiful and sacred gift you have given to all of us! I sincerely THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
Wow, these are the most beautiful words! Thanks a lot for appreciating all the work my husband and I put into this. Unfortunately, we have to do all this by ourselves, and it takes too much time and effort (especially with a 2-year-old child at home). So these comments, people watching and sharing the video, buying and streaming the album, members of Patreon, and even just subscribing to our channel, it really means the world to us. It makes us feel like all the work was worth it. So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️❤️❤️
@@VioDanceMusic I subscribed to your channel and purchased this album. Thank you for the kind feedback. I certainly understand how much time and effort is involved in a production like this. (Been associated with Hollywood and the movie industry for 50 years) And I also understand the toll and sacrifice it can have on your personal life. It just makes what you accomplished here all the more amazing! Good luck and I am looking forward to exploring more of your music and performances. (More purchases and likes) God bless you! You are truly an inspiration to my soul!
TH-cam recently recommended to me the Star Trek compilation you recorded 3 years ago and in the comments many were clamoring for an update. Wow, you actually made it! Excellent! Bravo! 😊
Thank you 😊
I can never get through The Inner Light without crying like a baby.
Wow, very impressive. Thanks a lot for sharing. This brings back so many fine memories. And I have to say: "The inner light" still touches me after so many years.
how has this not got more votes ................AMAZING TALENT
I love this. Been a Star Trek fan (Trekkie) since I was young ( I am 40 now). Beautifully recreated, composed and arranged. Paramount and CBS should take notice at this beautiful work of art and sound. Bravo. LLAP.
Thank you! 40 is still young tho!
melody of "Star Trek - First Contact " is my favorite this harmony is unbeaten !
I feel like I've been waiting my entire life to hear this music, without ever having known it until this moment. Thank you for this magic. It is purely Divine 💖
Thank you ❤️
It's wonderful seeing a classically trained violinist on a 5-string electric violin! Many violinists on TH-cam are talented, but your technique and expression are among the best I've seen. Beautiful playing!
Accompanying this on my virtual pipe organ at home was a pure delight. Plus, playing along to "First Contact" suddenly became almost impossible for me when my wife and me started bursting in tears -- since it's THE piece which started our relationship almost a quarter of a century ago. THANK YOU.
Your variations and fugues of each piece are absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for the love you have put into this program. Star Trek has been a part of my entertainment life since I was 13 years old when it first came out, and continues to be to this day. Your art is magical. Thank you.
OMG! This is just magnificent!!! What a beautiful surprise!
The costumes, everything is just soooo awesome!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤️
I like those facial expressions. Like she's loading up a space howitzer of magnanimous proportions and blasting Klingons with a passion, either that, or reenacting counselor Troi's most epic moments.
🌏🌌🌠素晴らしい！
スタートレック❤
I´m 49 and trekker since the release of the first season of TNG in 1987! Thanks for the beautiful video!
Thank you so much for performing your interpretation of Inner Light... I first watched that episode on what proved to be (one of) the most important days in my life, and I've always have had a deep connection to it. You're version was lovely ❤☺
It is my favorite episode from the franchise 😊 every time I watch it I can't help but tear up a little!
The Jeffrey's tube rendition was excellent, brought back the memory of the episode, the one time Picard let go of obligations and be happy for just a few minutes. Def can't go wrong with the voyager theme. Each tune i could see each title screen in my mind, and each captain saying: 'Space the final frontier....'
Loved all of it 👍
Wow!! This is wonderful! You are so cool 🖖🏼 love the costume changes and esp the Trill! Thanks for making my day 😊🪄 and yes, the Picard maneuver!! LOVED IT! And for the first time, I loved the theme to ST Enterprise.
Oh, and your space-age violin??!! wonderful!
The different animations, this blew me away...just all of it!
Thank you so much for this! Well done!
PS I can play Picard's Inner Light on Tin whistle haha 😆🪈
Cool! feels really nice to play it 😊
This is by far the most amazing nostalgic, mesmerising piece I’ve ever listened too! The inner light Jeffries’s tube hit a nerve!
Brilliant, your music is way past amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent's with us.
32:27 My God -- what a piece of music.
Thank you.
