Picard once said that time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. This made me realise that Star Trek has been a companion throughout my life's journey: these are the themes of my time.
I don't want to think what life would be like with out Star Trek... Growing up with TNG and all after that. We got to thank the classic one tho for getting us cell phones and such... Star Trek has been my companion throughout life as well...
Star Trek has been and always will be a integral part of our lives. We must remember that half our technology we have today was inspired from Star Trek and how much of an impact the show and Gene Roddenberry has affected our lives.
And Soren once said: "You know they say time is the fire in which we burn. Right now, my time is running out. We leave so many things unfinished in our lives. I know you understand." Maybe I should go finish my Star Trek rewatches.
Some of my earliest memories are watching Picard and gang as new episodes aired. I especially remember Lore scaring the crap out of me. Picard is, as he said himself, a role model.
My husband and I chose the deep space nine theme as our wedding march. It was beautiful and nobody could figure out what it was. They just thought it was pretty.
I dont know why, but the Voyager theme is so emotional in a way. I dont know is it because it brings me back to my teenage years but its really special
Yes, im probably biased as Voyager is my Star Trek lol but its by far the best theme tune and also opening credit scene, very powerful but emotional too
If you’re a Voyager fan, Garret Wang and Robert Duncan McNeil aka Ensign Harry Kim and Lieutenant Tom Paris are hosting a weekly podcast called the Delta Flyers where they go over each episode of Voyager in order to see what they remember about filming them.
Loved DS9 and Voyager transition. Voyagers theme is so emotional. A crew attempting to stay optimistic so far from home. Impossible odds against them, but soldiering on.
DS9's theme was powerful, because it was so lonely. That single trumpet carrying the melody for the first verse. The Voyager theme had a similar meaning. Loneliness and (shall I say) despair.
@@bobbwc7011the way the producers had a magic reset button at the end of every episode was pretty sad. The show had a 7 year story arc (get home) but couldn't show accumulated damage to the ship? Come on now...
@@mikehatz3942 Voyager isn't flying through a barren wasteland. There are various celestial bodies to collect raw materials from, civilizations to trade with, replicators with which to fabricate replacement parts, and a crew to do repair work. Voyager's biggest problem isn't repairs. The biggest problem is running out of fuel or dilithium. Scarcity of fuel is the reason replicator use is rationed and Neelix prepares meals the old-fashioned way. One wonders how a starship with fusion reactors could ever run out of fuel, though, considering the abundance of hydrogen in space. Gas giants are made out of it.
The first time I played the Star Trek theme in orchestra, I got so choked up and teared up I couldn't see my music, so I improvised. ( I'm a trombonist). My conductor was so moved, that he stopped the rehearsal and told me to play what I just did again. My "psuedo-cadenza" was included in the final performance. That was 15 years ago, and I still get complimented on it.
As a composer and arranger myself. The transitions are phenomenal. So hard to not make something like this sound like a "medley" You've created an overture to Star Trek!
don't you think she blunted a few notes that are expected to stand out, even falling flat in a few spots? I dunno, there were just a few spots I was disappointed.
DS9 and VOY were concurrent for several years, with Voyager starting at DS9. It makes sense for them to sound the most similar, one was established and sending the other on its own way.
I feel the same. Got goosebumps at that point. 😍 VOY has for me always had the most beautiful intro music. I am a bit sad that DSC goes into a more foreboding theme, but I also understand that it needs to speak to a younger audience who is used to more action. Here the theme was beautifully performed.
My 3 year old son has autism, and he watches your videos every day to relax or when falling asleep. If he wakes up at night he asks for your videos. He has taken such an interest in the violin because of this as well. I just wanted to tell you how much your music influences him and our every day life. Thank you.
I was absolutely moved by "Archer's theme", I love that music but not many Trekkies take it seriously enough to play it but I am amazed by your rendition of it
@@VioDanceMusic It was written to be the main theme, before they went for that stupid song - when I heard you chose Archer's Theme, I would have applauded
@@VioDanceMusic I was actually pre-grimacing before the transition to Archer's theme thinking "this is about to all be ruined by that revolting Enterprise song", then was overcome with relief and joy by your exquisite rendition of the closing credits. Absolutely loved it all.
I cried a bucket when the Voyager theme played. I binged watch it during the peak of my depression and being half crazy. that series saved me from killing myself. im well now. that was 11years ago.
I found this in 2021, I had to lay mums ashes. She was a HUGE treki and this was the best music to play! I always listen to it on and off since. Since becoming pregnant with my first. I rotate between this and star wars (for my hubby). With hope my baby hears it, connects and it's a tune it will always no in its heart. 💜 Music is powerful and this is power and beauty
I'm proud to admit that I'm a Trekkie, and hearing all of these themes meld together into one beautifully composed piece is stunning. Very well played!
...estava refletindo sobre isso, a forma orgânica como as trilhas se uniram formando uma longa e bela composição. Fiquei realmente tocada pelas belas lembranças que me trouxeram de Star Trek. Uau! grata.
Wow, this... this is a lot. I used to watch TNG, Voyager, DS9 and Enterprise every evening with my father a few years ago. It was like an evening ritual for us two until alcohol slowly took it away... he died last February. It makes me want to cry, but at the same time I‘m so grateful for Star Trek. It reminds me of the good times we had. Thank you for the beautiful arrangement.
My dad was.murded by Kidney failure years ago. We watched the movies and tng together. While ST is dead to me sents JJ and Discovery but the old trek brings back some great memory's. And as Gene would say. Hope for the future.
And adventure and hope. They were on a journey in the direction of home unsure if they would ever see anyone they knew, again. This brought them closer than most crews ever could. I could hear that in the theme song.
My mother got me into Star Trek with first contact. For years I dismissed it, but we eventually sat down and watched a few episodes but then decided to watch enterprise together. We’ve not finished it, but when I hear the theme it makes me think of all the good memories we’ve had watching it. Brings a tear to my eyes.
Gene is smiling down when he sees how far his creation has gone. How many lives its touched, how much progress its inspired. I'll bet even he didn't think it would still be going after 50+ years.
One of my favorite parts of the Voyager theme is the subtle homage to "A Star Beyond Time" (Ilia's Theme) from ST:TMP. 🙂 All of these are beautifully played. Thanks! 🖖
@@roy1701d I hadn't heard that one, so went to give it a listen and see what you mean! Do I detect an influence here on the opening of the Picard theme too?
Voyager may not have been the strongest of the classic Trek series, but damn its theme tune always gives me goosebumps and this is no exception when it popped up in this beautiful rendition. Sublime work! :)
That transition from DS9 to Voyager had me on the verge of tears. It's so beautiful. The Voyager theme almost always brings me to tears. It's such a gorgeous song and I have loved the show for longer than I can even remember. It's always been a part of my life so it has such a special place in my heart.
The transition from DS9 to Voyager was visually terrific. The transition from Voyager to Enterprise was musically flawless. And the Picard theme... just outstanding! It was funny, though, that you went with Archer's theme (the outro) for Enterprise, rather than Faith of the Heart, which I'm sure Trekkies everywhere greatly appreciate you doing! LOL Great work!
Star Trek dreams of advanced technology that's actually unambiguously *good* - that solves humanity's biggest problems, removes the motivation behind humanity's darkest impulses, and gives us the means to achieve something greater than merely surviving or acquiring wealth. What a beautiful dream. _Human civilization must survive._ It must not be allowed to collapse. This dream must not be allowed to fade away before it can be realized.
The Enterprise theme... Archer's theme is such an amazing track and this piece of musical brilliance just emphasises that. Thank you for such a beautiful rendition.
First off: that is probably the most interesting violin design I’ve ever seen; secondly: this was an awesome take on the themes of one of the best tv series.
Not having ever played violin, I would still imagine that this design is a blessing to necks and spines. I've always wondered if violinists suffered from scoliosis and other issues from prolonged tension of supporting a violin the way it's traditionally done.
@@RetNemmoc555 ergonomics have never been a priority in anything "classical". Never having practised classical ballet, I can only imagine the painful process of supporting one's body weight on the toes... so, it seems that in the classical universe it's all about overcoming pain and getting used to it 🤣
@@djangofett4879 after 9/11 the original theme was changed to the one that plays at the start of the show currently, the one they played in this however was indeed intended to be the main theme, sooo ill take it.
Holy gods, the Picard theme hit my heart. It makes me so nostalgic for a time I don’t even know when. Perhaps the future, or perhaps the vast amount of references to the past in the show. Great work on all of them!
@@mami3427 I was a baby when TOS first aired, but my mother watched it and chances are I was in the room as well. By about ten years later, it was a Saturday morning show (after cartoons) and my father watched it before we made the weekly shopping trip. So I, reluctantly at first, watched it with him, eventually coming to love the show. So there is a valid reason to assume that most TOS fans are 50+ years old by now. But! Through the magic of the Internet (and video sales and rental stores, and ongoing syndicated airings), younger generations have been exposed as well. My sister once made a TOS reference to her daughter (currently about age 15, then, probably about age 10)… being a rather inquisitive child, my niece insisted on seeing an episode of this show her mother had referenced. So they watched an episode via some streaming service and my niece was hooked. I believe Mr Spock is her favorite
@@mami3427 l've watched and enjoyed each series from TOS through Enterprise. They have been inspiring, high points in my life. Always love classical orchestral music so Faith of the Heart was initially jarring, but I came to appreciate it because of the lyrics and recognized the tone was meant to show the spirit, courage, isolation, and audacity of early explorers. Successive season's arrangements were equivocating mistakes. TOS began as I started middle school so its theme always has the most thrilling impact. I found that TOS enhanced the beauty of the starry night sky with mystery and optimism. Each series had weak points. The near weekly Capt. Kirk romance became irksome. TNG started with weak scripts, then improved. Voyager failed to follow through with the Maqui tension and character development of Chakotay, and I loved Seven of Nine's character arc despite the producers suffocating her in a constricting bodysuit. Eventually my interest in Enterprise faded and I stopped watching. Perhaps because Deep Space Nine jettisoned self-contained episodic story treatment and had Star Fleet crew intermeshed with other humans and species, it has blinded me to its failings; it remains my top favorite of the 5 series.
Today I realized that the sequence of Star Trek melodies can be compared to the progression of themes for a single human lifetime. The Original Series begins with a youthful and energetic theme that suggests the ambition of a young Captain Kirk. The Next Generation conveys confidence and pride as the Federation has become very established in the galaxy. DS9 provides a powerful theme that seems to reflect on the experiences of not only the Federation, but also Benjamin Sisko's nonlinear memory of his own past suffering. A beautiful and wistful theme represents Voyager's Captain Janeway and her crew in their nostalgic longing for home while it also embraces Star Trek's original sense of adventure. Another extraordinary composition, Archer's Theme calls forth a mature sense of serenity and wisdom in a melody that rivals the elegance of Voyager's theme. On the other hand, Discovery seems to convey agitation and instability, suggesting a time of chaos and decline. Representing the twilight of a lifetime, Picard's evocative and sublime melody clearly conveys the melancholy of Jean-Luc Picard himself. The Original Series: Ambition The Next Generation: Pride Deep Space Nine: Reflection Voyager: Nostalgia Archer's Theme: Wisdom Discovery: Agitation Picard: Melancholy
@@AnthonyD0311 I listed the shows in the order of their creation in the real world. Let's hope the franchise will find a source of sustained regeneration for the future.
I would say self-confidence instead of pride for TNG, and impatience instead of agitation for STD, but otherwise agree. My first thougt on Voyager was homesick, but nostalgia fits better.
there are tiny bits of surprising lore in this video. There's a lil defiant flying through Ds9's rings DS9 transitions to Voyager just like in the beginning of Voyager The Enterprise main theme is Faith of the heart, but a ton of fans regard "Archer's theme" as the actual main theme of Enterprise, which is the one played in the video. Nice.
Thank you for noticing 🙂 we tried to be as faithful as we could be with the lore of the franchise. Could have gotten a Starfleet uniform or better makeup but alas... quarantine 😅
@@VioDanceMusic I think it was quite brilliantly done. Could be seen as going through the years with the TOS style uniform from the start to the end. Almost like having a time machine .
"Archer's Theme" was the music that was actually composed by one of the Star Trek composers, and not a ripped off tune from another soundtrack (Where My Heart Will Take Me was already used for the Patch Adams soundtrack). I really hope the "Strange New Worlds" soundtrack will be very reminiscent of Courage's TOS theme.
@@VioDanceMusic perfect choice. I admit I gritted my teeth waiting for the Enterprise theme, but your choice was absolutely beautiful and seamless. Thank you, you made me cry a bit!
I dont mind the enterprise theme, its not my fave but its not a bad song, but man hearing it on strings with no vocals makes it sound like it fits with the others so much more 😢
@@vamp_bat_chompit’s actually an entirely different piece of music to the vocal intro (Faith of the Heart), this is called Archer’s Theme, and played over the closing credits.
I don’t know or care about what producers would say but as a spectator, as a fan, the transition from DS9 to Voyager was such a beautiful moment in the whole Star Trek saga!!!!
Grandmother just died today. Listening to this really helps deal with the loss. Wish she was still here along with my grandfather he really loved the Star trek series.
Amen, Cody. DS9 is definitely the most haunting and dare I say profound of all the themes and reflects the shades of grey throughout the best Star Trek series.
I was too young for TOG but saw it in reruns in the early 70s. Then got SO EXCITED that they were doing a new one with STNG. Watched all of DS9 and Voyager, but got pissed off with Enterprise when they turned the Vulcans into practically villains so I stopped. I just watch DS9 and Voyager in reruns.
I'm so glad there are others out there that consider Lower Decks a great show. It's made by fans of Star Trek, for fans of Star Trek. And it's awesome.
What I love about all these themes is that they talk so clearly about the personality of the shows: TOS is adventurous; TNG is bold and epic; DS9 is hopeful; Voyager is longing an sad, it struggles, but with a hint of hope (my favorite for how it sounds here); Enterprise and Picard I haven't watched, but Enterprise sounds very classic Star Trek and Picard sounds super nostalgic (which would be fitting); Discovery sounds very cerebral and defiant. Love all these shows. Love how you've arranged their music. :')
The Enterprise theme played here is "Archer's Theme" which is actually the outro music played during the credits. The main theme is, controversially, the song "Faith of the Heart" by Russell Watson.
picard is pretty awesome. the theme is the best IMO since ds9. the composer talks about his influences... part nostagia... flute... tng at the end... but the show is all new and forward while honoring it's past. th-cam.com/video/4WztwVpx74A/w-d-xo.html
I remember when Star Trek had the first black protagonist or female captain protagonist, as well as so many various topics covered by the TV episodes. Who knew at that time that they were already ahead of their time in covering all these social issues but they didn't make it an issue, they just portrayed things in a normal and customary way.
As a child born in the mid 1960s, I was somehow blissfully unaware of the social turbulence happening in the real world at the time and simply assumed that large cities were as peacefully integrated as seen on Sesame Street and the humans on Star Trek.
While Janeway was the 1st female captain in a series, there is a cameo of an African American female captain of a starship at the beginning of Star Trek IV. Nice to see how much the Starfleet changed between the end of the Original Series on Kirk's Enterprise & Star Trek IV. The series finale of TOS was all about a female Starfleet officer going insane due to the rule that females are not allowed to be starship captains. People tend to view Trek in an alternate light in how they portrayed social progress. Roddenberry was VERY inconsistent at it. In BALANCE OF TERROR of the TOS, RACISM was very much a part of Starfleet, and still existed in Star Trek VI. Bu magically, by the time of TNG, Roddenberry decided females captains were okay & everyone in Starfleet is PERFECT without conflict or racism. While I LOVE how TOS evolved, when they changed from The Cage with a female First Officer to the TOS with Spock as 1st officer, the network was FINE with keeping the female 1st officer but t was RODDEBERRY who decided to scrap her & promote Spock instead. So, even in the late 60s, the NETWORK had NO PROBLEM with a WOMAN in a command position . There is also a PR story Roddenberry said - that may or may not be true - about keeping Uhura around but HE claims the network says a BLACK female can NEVER be in command of the ship. I find that questionable since they were fine with a WHITE female in command. But the 60s was probably more RACIST than SEXIST, so who knows!? Oh well, people like to think of Trek's optimistic non-racists, non-sexist, perfect humans in the TNG era instead of the reality of TOS. And that's fine. Facts & reality aside, Just sayin.
@@europeanpatriot8031 Go home wokey, your name isn't fooling me. Discovery made a black protagonist for political reasons, in DS9 it was story telling and world building.
You know it's a good cover when the artist gives you a new larger appreciation for the piece. I was never really into Star Trek, but this just gave me a new found appreciation for the intros...and as usual I will sincerely say "beautiful as always".
@@joshgrumiaux6820 It would’ve been logical that he did. It also would’ve been logical for me to correct my spelling error as I have.😊 But then again, I’m no Vulcan I make mistakes too. Live long and Prosper Josh Grumiaux
So cool! For years, Voyager's theme was the only one I didn't skip through when binging. Now, I cannot get enough of Picard's theme. So beautifully written and arranged, almost as if you can feel the optimism to do good, be good, and inspire good within in.
I grew up on TOS and TNG... but DS9's theme is just absolutely gorgeous. I've loved all of Trek for many various reasons but one constant is the excellence of the themes. Absolutely beautiful music.
Deep Space Nine is one of the deepest shows in STAR TREK universe, it showed us how war affects everyone. How people lay down their lives for their factions and how they become heroes. The Deep Space Nine theme is a tribute to those officers of Starfleet and Klingon Defense Forces.
I just want to point out that those officers didn’t have to die if it wasn’t for the complete and total incompetence of starfleet in that era. Starfleet was overconfident and had essentially no defenses from threats even though they knew of several, including the borg, and the dominion during the Cold War, but their best response was to pull the defiant, a pretty terribly designed ship out of mothballs, make one decently designed ship, and two overpriced and not at all practical designs, and the last three were only entering service after the war. Also ds9 is bad.
@@Arnoudbr mmm I recently tried to give ds9 a fair chance and just can’t really get into it. The entire premise is “to boldly go where no man has gone before” and a space station just doesn’t really scratch that itch. They eventually get the defiant but that’s a military ship, not an exploratory vessel, and the show is still on ds9 most of the time anyway so I don’t see the point. Maybe it’s for some people but I know a lot of people who just despise the show.
It shows how much of an impact it had on his life. He’s just as much Kamin the Iron-Weaver as he is Jean-Luc Picard the Starfleet officer, diplomat, and vintner.
Im not a big fan of Picard. the show is (as Jean Luc says in the Picard show) an UNMITIGATED DISASTER! the theme is pretty good though. Its way better than the Discovery theme which is just very generic, stock music sounding.
The haunting melody of Picard is so appropriate. Tinged with sadness and regret, to me it represents the sound of a human mind struggling to remember a word, or a memory, that is just out of reach. Like a word on the tip of one's tongue that one is trying to find. A poignant statement on the aging process of a man who led a well-lived life. Elegant and wistful, aware that the end is approaching, searching for meaning, purpose, and a just-right epitaph. This video represents a lot of hard work. Well done!
New video for Star Trek: Lower Decks Theme: th-cam.com/video/5cWkEm1HT70/w-d-xo.html Strange New Worlds: th-cam.com/video/OZ2u8747v_8/w-d-xo.html We stopped answering to comments but wanted to clarify some things that some of you keep stating over and over: - "Badge on the wrong side": we did it so it's seen, if not the violin would be blocking it. - "TOS bridge is wrong / LCARS / looks horrible / etc": yeah, we know... We failed there lol - "You should have stopped at Enterprise / Last 2 are not canon / Discovery sux": While we also prefer the older Trek, we think that these series are part of it and couldn't leave them out. Besides, you can't deny that all the soundtracks are beautiful and they have the most amazing composers! - "That's not a violin / It has frets, you don't know how to play the violin / electric violins are for losers": I record all my tracks with my acoustic "traditional" violin, or else it would be impossible to keep a consistency on our audios. As you already have figured out I don't play live on the videos and use different electric or acoustic violins depending on the video's theme. However, an electric violin is an excellent option for live performances and it doesn't mean that the violinist is less talented. - "Too many flares": Like J.J. Abrams, Davor feels that there is no such thing as too many flares... Only too few flares. For all of you that have left nice comments and appreciate our work, we thank you! We try to read all the comments at least once a week, and it's very heart-warming to see the reception this video had. Love B&D
Question, on the video that this comment is posted on, could you make a version where the last part talking about patreon is not included in the video so we can watch this on repeat? Simple request please dont hate me as most people getting asked this question would from what I have experienced so far.
@@ABQSentinel Hate to agree still the movies can at least admit they are an alternate timeline. I don't know what the hell they are trying to prove with STD and Picard; B-grade dystopian scifi at best.
@@honorhc Yeah, I agree. And I actually liked the first J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie. It worked, precisely because it's an alternate timeline. But, yeah... STD (aptly named) and Picard are an absolute abomination. They do nothing but shit all over the legacy of Star Trek and the established lore. An admiral telling Picard to "Shut the fuck up"... what smooth-brain thought that up?!
@@HoneydewMellon Yep. The moment someone calls it "STD" I know they have nothing of value to contribute. Kind of like people declaring that X recent Star Trek series "isn't Trek" because they don't like it.
I grew up with TNG, and to me that's the ultimate show, but there's something incredibly special about the DS9 theme. It's just so...grand, emotional, and fits the series so well. And your rendition of Archer's theme may be the most beautiful version I've ever heard.
Both ds9 themes are great! Season 1-3 was a few horns. As season 4 started the station was busier so they made the theme deeper with more horns and guitars
You guys missed an Opening theme! The mirror universe deserves its justice. Glory to the Terran Empire! Jokes aside, this is very well done. I also understand why it was left out. A military march randomly thrown into a medley about the wonders of space exploration would probably throw everyone off.
As a lifelong fan of the franchise, I'm intimately familiar with each of the themes from all the series, and this rendition was absolutely beautiful. The entire bit had me moved to tears.
Hearing them all like this...how many of us have such emotional investment in the STverse--I think of the friends I'd watch it with, now somewhere in a nebula, and this medley transports them all back. Such a great project for the lockdown and so well done.
It brought tears to my eyes to hear each Star Trek themes, especially the Voyager one. the visuals are fantastic. It’s as if you were on board the ships featured in each series.
I think this actually made me realize how well the Picard theme did at encapsulating the nostalgia feeling that the show possessed. The theme feels like coming home after a long journey... it feels warm and friendly. Especially starting at 4:50 I also appreciate the choice for Enterprise. That song really feels like something is beginning and growing into something more, which I feel was the intent of that show.
Scotty James yes! It’s the episode where he lives out an entire lifetime! I hadn’t heard the Picard theme until this video and just finished Next Gen for the first time a couple of weeks ago. That was by far one of my favorite episodes and hearing the Picard theme actually brought tears. What a beautiful sentiment to use that for the theme since it was such an influential experience for him
Star trek is what keeps me hopeful each day as I watch the news, study human history, and enjoy my daily life. Because in spite of our wars, neglect, and current social problems, I truly believe in Gene Roddenberry's vision.
It is just amazing to me how well the Voyager theme has aged. I used to think it was ok but nothing too special at the time, but hearing it now.. It's totally amazing
Voyagers theme always makes me teary and not sad but emotional its just so beautiful
All of them do that to me. Star Trek is about exploration, and discovering new things... At least its supposed to be.
Voyager theme is the best, tho my fav is discovery
Yes I agree
Me too. I thought I was thee only one.
Voyager's theme, just like the show, is the pure soul of Star Trek.
Picard once said that time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. This made me realise that Star Trek has been a companion throughout my life's journey: these are the themes of my time.
I don't want to think what life would be like with out Star Trek... Growing up with TNG and all after that. We got to thank the classic one tho for getting us cell phones and such... Star Trek has been my companion throughout life as well...

Loved DS9 and Voyager transition. Voyagers theme is so emotional. A crew attempting to stay optimistic so far from home. Impossible odds against them, but soldiering on.
Voyager was a shitshow, unfortunately.
DS9's theme was powerful, because it was so lonely. That single trumpet carrying the melody for the first verse. The Voyager theme had a similar meaning. Loneliness and (shall I say) despair.

@@bobbwc7011 Its my fav... none of the show's are perfect but 7 of 9 and the doctor used to make me smile.
@@mikehatz3942 Voyager isn't flying through a barren wasteland. There are various celestial bodies to collect raw materials from, civilizations to trade with, replicators with which to fabricate replacement parts, and a crew to do repair work.
Voyager's biggest problem isn't repairs. The biggest problem is running out of fuel or dilithium. Scarcity of fuel is the reason replicator use is rationed and Neelix prepares meals the old-fashioned way.
One wonders how a starship with fusion reactors could ever run out of fuel, though, considering the abundance of hydrogen in space. Gas giants are made out of it.
The first time I played the Star Trek theme in orchestra, I got so choked up and teared up I couldn't see my music, so I improvised. ( I'm a trombonist). My conductor was so moved, that he stopped the rehearsal and told me to play what I just did again. My "psuedo-cadenza" was included in the final performance. That was 15 years ago, and I still get complimented on it.

As just a music lover i wanted to say the same thing. She or whoever wrote this did amazing as each theme just beautifully transitions into the next
don't you think she blunted a few notes that are expected to stand out, even falling flat in a few spots? I dunno, there were just a few spots I was disappointed.

Thank you for adding your widom, professor. No. Not being sarcastic. Your comment was powerful and knowledgeable.
The transition from DS9 to VOY was especially well done. Kudos!!
Thank you! 🙂
Completely Agree!
yep and indeed the Pilote from Voyager starts onboard of DS9 ... We have Quark as guest ^^
DS9 and VOY were concurrent for several years, with Voyager starting at DS9. It makes sense for them to sound the most similar, one was established and sending the other on its own way.
I feel the same. Got goosebumps at that point. 😍
VOY has for me always had the most beautiful intro music. I am a bit sad that DSC goes into a more foreboding theme, but I also understand that it needs to speak to a younger audience who is used to more action. Here the theme was beautifully performed.
My 3 year old son has autism, and he watches your videos every day to relax or when falling asleep. If he wakes up at night he asks for your videos. He has taken such an interest in the violin because of this as well.
I just wanted to tell you how much your music influences him and our every day life. Thank you.
wow This is so precious. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, and give a big hug to your son from us ❤️
That's neat.
I was absolutely moved by "Archer's theme", I love that music but not many Trekkies take it seriously enough to play it but I am amazed by your rendition of it
Archer's theme is one of the best, is really lovely (that's why we chose it instead of the "intro theme"). Thank you for watching our video ❤
@@VioDanceMusic It was written to be the main theme, before they went for that stupid song - when I heard you chose Archer's Theme, I would have applauded
@@uxbridge5877 😅😅 yeah Archer's theme goes better with the violin
@@VioDanceMusic I was actually pre-grimacing before the transition to Archer's theme thinking "this is about to all be ruined by that revolting Enterprise song", then was overcome with relief and joy by your exquisite rendition of the closing credits. Absolutely loved it all.
@@VioDanceMusic Unlike the others, i like the intro faith song and Archer theme, you made a great render.
I cried a bucket when the Voyager theme played. I binged watch it during the peak of my depression and being half crazy. that series saved me from killing myself. im well now. that was 11years ago.
I did the same when I was depressed, maybe it wasn’t depression but it helped. Voyager had that positive feel to it.
Hope You doing well these days!
Stay strong, live long and prosper 🖖
Greetings from Germany 🧡🧡🧡
I'm glad to hear you are doing better. All the best!
Glad you're feeling better. What was it about Voyager that helped?
Entfernter Verwandter What is your opinion on ds9?
I've never noticed that the Deep Space Nine music was so beautiful.
Best of the shows, too.
It’s majestic... I always felt it full of the goal (of getting home) and the patient acceptance (that it would take years).
First time i ever watched DS9 i didn't either. But once you do, it's fantastic. play it loud, close your eyes and just listen to it
i agree
th-cam.com/video/u_z2nbcySC4/w-d-xo.html
I found this in 2021, I had to lay mums ashes. She was a HUGE treki and this was the best music to play! I always listen to it on and off since. Since becoming pregnant with my first. I rotate between this and star wars (for my hubby). With hope my baby hears it, connects and it's a tune it will always no in its heart. 💜 Music is powerful and this is power and beauty
Your baby will. Just observe their reaction when they hear it.
I'm proud to admit that I'm a Trekkie, and hearing all of these themes meld together into one beautifully composed piece is stunning. Very well played!
All the way.
Muy bueno!!!!
My heart and eyes are moist
...estava refletindo sobre isso, a forma orgânica como as trilhas se uniram formando uma longa e bela composição. Fiquei realmente tocada pelas belas lembranças que me trouxeram de Star Trek. Uau! grata.
And this duo… they are not involved with Paramount or any officials. Their work is awsome. Just people …like you and me.
Wow, this... this is a lot. I used to watch TNG, Voyager, DS9 and Enterprise every evening with my father a few years ago. It was like an evening ritual for us two until alcohol slowly took it away... he died last February.
It makes me want to cry, but at the same time I‘m so grateful for Star Trek. It reminds me of the good times we had. Thank you for the beautiful arrangement.
Aww.. I'm sorry..
My dad was.murded by Kidney failure years ago. We watched the movies and tng together.
While ST is dead to me sents JJ and Discovery but the old trek brings back some great memory's.
And as Gene would say. Hope for the future.

I know. While making it we felt a lot of nostalgia 🙂
I felt all the series
Star Wars fans: "first time?"
First time I couldn't get myself to read comments while the piece was playing. ❤️
Indeed. Shed a little tear upon the Picard music.
Can we talk for a second about that DS9 to VOY transition?? That was... that was a lot of amazing. 🖖
Damn hearing all these makes me wanna watch them all again. The feels!! Voyager was my fave before Discovery came out. I'm really digging it.
yeah, freaking chills!
I came here to be critical. But yea..the DS9 to Voyager was excellent. I appreciate the art
It's kind of like the first episode of Voyager, when the ship leaves DS9
All the transitions were pretty darn epic, to tell the truth.
Voyager..every damn time..can never hold back the tears. They captured the show perfectly in that opening..the feeling of loss and hopelessness
Please Voyager, please voyager. Come home.
And adventure and hope. They were on a journey in the direction of home unsure if they would ever see anyone they knew, again. This brought them closer than most crews ever could. I could hear that in the theme song.
My mother got me into Star Trek with first contact. For years I dismissed it, but we eventually sat down and watched a few episodes but then decided to watch enterprise together. We’ve not finished it, but when I hear the theme it makes me think of all the good memories we’ve had watching it. Brings a tear to my eyes.

Thank you!
Noo I loved voyager with all my heart Janeway was hands-down the most dynamic character
Same for me! Definitely best theme.
Could you explain why you feel that way? Personally I loved Voyager, but I did see it when I was young so nostalgia
Agreed.

"Wait.. Is that Star Trek?!"
I've raised her well

good thing she didn't say star wars
@@EbonFang_92 if anything is good about Star Wars it is John Williams beautifull music.
Yes!
That transition from DS9 to Voyager had me on the verge of tears. It's so beautiful. The Voyager theme almost always brings me to tears. It's such a gorgeous song and I have loved the show for longer than I can even remember. It's always been a part of my life so it has such a special place in my heart.
The transition from DS9 to Voyager was visually terrific. The transition from Voyager to Enterprise was musically flawless. And the Picard theme... just outstanding! It was funny, though, that you went with Archer's theme (the outro) for Enterprise, rather than Faith of the Heart, which I'm sure Trekkies everywhere greatly appreciate you doing! LOL Great work!
😅 We have no faith of the heart 💔 Thank you for your compliments!
Hey, I WANTED Faith of the Heart 😂😂
THE TRANSITION FROM VOYAGER TO ARCHER'S THEME GETS ME EVERY TIME
I feel the same!
The theme that SHOULD have been.
@@spamspam79 I still love faith of the heart, i think its the perfect intro theme.
*BIG SAME*
@@doctor_whoey3857 H'oh buddy, you couldn't be more wrong.
Star Trek music is so moving..A future of better times ahead..
Only 141 years until the founding of the UFP...
nahh.. we got race wars instead.
Only 43 years until First Contact.
Star Trek dreams of advanced technology that's actually unambiguously *good* - that solves humanity's biggest problems, removes the motivation behind humanity's darkest impulses, and gives us the means to achieve something greater than merely surviving or acquiring wealth.
What a beautiful dream.
_Human civilization must survive._ It must not be allowed to collapse. This dream must not be allowed to fade away before it can be realized.
The Enterprise theme... Archer's theme is such an amazing track and this piece of musical brilliance just emphasises that. Thank you for such a beautiful rendition.
The Enterprise of Archer is also the best Star trek.
Voyager will always make my hair stand up and bring tear to my eye. Thank you Capt Janeway
First off: that is probably the most interesting violin design I’ve ever seen; secondly: this was an awesome take on the themes of one of the best tv series.
It is a Mark Wood electric violin, famous for the fretted fingerboard and a balanced weight.
Look at the shape! It's obviously a Star Fleet instrument.
@@lawrenceallwright7041 That's probably why at 4:26 the camera panned from the violin to the Insignia on her shirt.
Not having ever played violin, I would still imagine that this design is a blessing to necks and spines. I've always wondered if violinists suffered from scoliosis and other issues from prolonged tension of supporting a violin the way it's traditionally done.
@@RetNemmoc555 ergonomics have never been a priority in anything "classical". Never having practised classical ballet, I can only imagine the painful process of supporting one's body weight on the toes... so, it seems that in the classical universe it's all about overcoming pain and getting used to it 🤣
You have made this Trekkie very happy especially with Voyager's theme as that is unashamedly my favourite theme
Ours too! ❤
Mine too
That may play into why I liked it better than ds9.
The way you were able to transition each trek theme from one to the next was flawless. Great work! Thank you for sharing your talent with us all.
Thank you ❤
Overall very nice except for the dopey lens flare.
You mean stopping and then playing the new theme? that was good. I mean she literally teleported at the end of one theme to be able to play the next
すごく良いです。一杯やっているせいか、TOSとTNGのテーマを聴くと涙ぐんでいます。貴女に乾杯 !
Everyone has been going on about the DS9 to VOY transition. I feel VOY to ENT was just...flawless. Bravo my dear friends!
They cheated and played Archer's theme. The actual Enterprise theme song is THE WORST THEME SONG EVER MADE!
@@djangofett4879 after 9/11 the original theme was changed to the one that plays at the start of the show currently, the one they played in this however was indeed intended to be the main theme, sooo ill take it.
Concordo plenamente
Agreed... Brilliant.
The Enterprise music got a cameo in Discovery when the Archer Space Dock was introduced.
Holy gods, the Picard theme hit my heart. It makes me so nostalgic for a time I don’t even know when. Perhaps the future, or perhaps the vast amount of references to the past in the show. Great work on all of them!
It really is something special, knows just how to hit that nostalgic bones
the transition from DS9 to Voyager sure gives me goosebumps
Voyager is the best
I love how every generation has their own favorite Star Trek series :-).
So true. I wonder where the TOS generation are, though.. they'll be a little bit older I think
Mine's the one with the spaceship in!
@@mami3427 I was a baby when TOS first aired, but my mother watched it and chances are I was in the room as well. By about ten years later, it was a Saturday morning show (after cartoons) and my father watched it before we made the weekly shopping trip. So I, reluctantly at first, watched it with him, eventually coming to love the show. So there is a valid reason to assume that most TOS fans are 50+ years old by now. But! Through the magic of the Internet (and video sales and rental stores, and ongoing syndicated airings), younger generations have been exposed as well. My sister once made a TOS reference to her daughter (currently about age 15, then, probably about age 10)… being a rather inquisitive child, my niece insisted on seeing an episode of this show her mother had referenced. So they watched an episode via some streaming service and my niece was hooked. I believe Mr Spock is her favorite
@@mami3427 l've watched and enjoyed each series from TOS through Enterprise. They have been inspiring, high points in my life. Always love classical orchestral music so Faith of the Heart was initially jarring, but I came to appreciate it because of the lyrics and recognized the tone was meant to show the spirit, courage, isolation, and audacity of early explorers. Successive season's arrangements were equivocating mistakes. TOS began as I started middle school so its theme always has the most thrilling impact. I found that TOS enhanced the beauty of the starry night sky with mystery and optimism.
Each series had weak points. The near weekly Capt. Kirk romance became irksome. TNG started with weak scripts, then improved. Voyager failed to follow through with the Maqui tension and character development of Chakotay, and I loved Seven of Nine's character arc despite the producers suffocating her in a constricting bodysuit. Eventually my interest in Enterprise faded and I stopped watching. Perhaps because Deep Space Nine jettisoned self-contained episodic story treatment and had Star Fleet crew intermeshed with other humans and species, it has blinded me to its failings; it remains my top favorite of the 5 series.
My mom was the original series. for me it was the next generation. I love all trek tho.
Today I realized that the sequence of Star Trek melodies can be compared to the progression of themes for a single human lifetime. The Original Series begins with a youthful and energetic theme that suggests the ambition of a young Captain Kirk. The Next Generation conveys confidence and pride as the Federation has become very established in the galaxy. DS9 provides a powerful theme that seems to reflect on the experiences of not only the Federation, but also Benjamin Sisko's nonlinear memory of his own past suffering. A beautiful and wistful theme represents Voyager's Captain Janeway and her crew in their nostalgic longing for home while it also embraces Star Trek's original sense of adventure. Another extraordinary composition, Archer's Theme calls forth a mature sense of serenity and wisdom in a melody that rivals the elegance of Voyager's theme. On the other hand, Discovery seems to convey agitation and instability, suggesting a time of chaos and decline. Representing the twilight of a lifetime, Picard's evocative and sublime melody clearly conveys the melancholy of Jean-Luc Picard himself.
The Original Series: Ambition
The Next Generation: Pride
Deep Space Nine: Reflection
Voyager: Nostalgia
Archer's Theme: Wisdom
Discovery: Agitation
Picard: Melancholy
O_O
Beautiful
Love it mate!
@@AnthonyD0311 I listed the shows in the order of their creation in the real world. Let's hope the franchise will find a source of sustained regeneration for the future.
I would say self-confidence instead of pride for TNG, and impatience instead of agitation for STD, but otherwise agree.
My first thougt on Voyager was homesick, but nostalgia fits better.
there are tiny bits of surprising lore in this video.
There's a lil defiant flying through Ds9's rings
DS9 transitions to Voyager just like in the beginning of Voyager
The Enterprise main theme is Faith of the heart, but a ton of fans regard "Archer's theme" as the actual main theme of Enterprise, which is the one played in the video.
Nice.
Thank you for noticing 🙂 we tried to be as faithful as we could be with the lore of the franchise. Could have gotten a Starfleet uniform or better makeup but alas... quarantine 😅
@@VioDanceMusic I think it was quite brilliantly done. Could be seen as going through the years with the TOS style uniform from the start to the end. Almost like having a time machine .
"Archer's Theme" was the music that was actually composed by one of the Star Trek composers, and not a ripped off tune from another soundtrack (Where My Heart Will Take Me was already used for the Patch Adams soundtrack).
I really hope the "Strange New Worlds" soundtrack will be very reminiscent of Courage's TOS theme.
archer's theme is infinitely better and fits the tone of the other intros.
@@VioDanceMusic perfect choice. I admit I gritted my teeth waiting for the Enterprise theme, but your choice was absolutely beautiful and seamless. Thank you, you made me cry a bit!
Beautiful. Star Trek means so much to me. Voyager to Enterprise. Goosebumps.
2:28 any bets the doggy will get promoted over Harry Kim 😂

Enterprise theme is the best at least that's my opinion
I dont mind the enterprise theme, its not my fave but its not a bad song, but man hearing it on strings with no vocals makes it sound like it fits with the others so much more 😢
@@vamp_bat_chompit’s actually an entirely different piece of music to the vocal intro (Faith of the Heart), this is called Archer’s Theme, and played over the closing credits.
@@NickMoss oh ... that's probably why it actually fits in for once 🤣🤣🤣
That was amazing! Absolutely some of the best visuals used from each series!
The passion in which she played!
They're all amazing and each one makes me cry joyfully.
Every single one of these themes evokes something a bit different. Iove how each composer is able to capture the essence of the series with the score.
I don’t know or care about what producers would say but as a spectator, as a fan, the transition from DS9 to Voyager was such a beautiful moment in the whole Star Trek saga!!!!
Grandmother just died today. Listening to this really helps deal with the loss. Wish she was still here along with my grandfather he really loved the Star trek series.
May her spirit fly amongst every star.

Welled up at DS9 theme... EXPERTLY done
Aww thank you! We did put our hearts on this video, since Star Trek are one of our favorite series 🙂
Amen, Cody. DS9 is definitely the most haunting and dare I say profound of all the themes and reflects the shades of grey throughout the best Star Trek series.
Did exactly the same. It's my favourite Trek theme tune.
Too bad she left out the best part of the DS9 theme (last version of the chorus with the triumphant descending chordal structure)!
Shut up...*sniff sniff*...goddanmit lol
Holy crap. I have nearly watched every star trek ever made. Started as a child now to middle age..
Well, here DS9, VOY, and TNG when on in parallel, so it was easy to watch most of it. Enterprise came out not much later.
I was too young for TOG but saw it in reruns in the early 70s. Then got SO EXCITED that they were doing a new one with STNG. Watched all of DS9 and Voyager, but got pissed off with Enterprise when they turned the Vulcans into practically villains so I stopped. I just watch DS9 and Voyager in reruns.
Yep, same. Been watchin for 40 years. Some good, some great, some ok
When they canned enterprise it was the first time since 1987 there was no active Star Trek television production
The original Star Trek, Star Trek next generation, and Star Trek voyager raised me. They will forever hold a place in my heart
I fuckin love Star Trek sorry
I think this is great. I’d love to hear an updated version with Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, and Prodigy! And hopefully someday #StarTrekLegacy!!!
Yes! I love LD but the SNW theme slaps!
I'm so glad there are others out there that consider Lower Decks a great show. It's made by fans of Star Trek, for fans of Star Trek. And it's awesome.
The intro sequence of prodigy is amazing. First time I saw it I loved it, reminded me so much of Voyager in all the good ways.
I’ve GOT to find a way to watch prodigy, I’ve seen a few episodes but I DONT HAVE IT. That’s so annoying!
What I love about all these themes is that they talk so clearly about the personality of the shows: TOS is adventurous; TNG is bold and epic; DS9 is hopeful; Voyager is longing an sad, it struggles, but with a hint of hope (my favorite for how it sounds here); Enterprise and Picard I haven't watched, but Enterprise sounds very classic Star Trek and Picard sounds super nostalgic (which would be fitting); Discovery sounds very cerebral and defiant. Love all these shows. Love how you've arranged their music. :')
Katya Hernández Watch Picard!! It’s great with a couple of nice surprise cameos ;)
Wait until you listen to Enterprise's "Faith of the Heart" and tell me if you still think it is very classic Star Trek :D :D :D
The Enterprise theme played here is "Archer's Theme" which is actually the outro music played during the credits. The main theme is, controversially, the song "Faith of the Heart" by Russell Watson.
@@DrugLagoon works better as instrumental
picard is pretty awesome. the theme is the best IMO since ds9. the composer talks about his influences... part nostagia... flute... tng at the end... but the show is all new and forward while honoring it's past. th-cam.com/video/4WztwVpx74A/w-d-xo.html
I remember when Star Trek had the first black protagonist or female captain protagonist, as well as so many various topics covered by the TV episodes. Who knew at that time that they were already ahead of their time in covering all these social issues but they didn't make it an issue, they just portrayed things in a normal and customary way.
As a child born in the mid 1960s, I was somehow blissfully unaware of the social turbulence happening in the real world at the time and simply assumed that large cities were as peacefully integrated as seen on Sesame Street and the humans on Star Trek.
You do realise that you pointing it out, makes you a part of the problem which you just described, right?
Truth is truth. And fact was fact. Nowadays too many cannot. WILL NOT. see that. I fear for this country
A 92 yr old trekker
While Janeway was the 1st female captain in a series, there is a cameo of an African American female captain of a starship at the beginning of Star Trek IV.
Nice to see how much the Starfleet changed between the end of the Original Series on Kirk's Enterprise & Star Trek IV. The series finale of TOS was all about a female Starfleet officer going insane due to the rule that females are not allowed to be starship captains.
People tend to view Trek in an alternate light in how they portrayed social progress. Roddenberry was VERY inconsistent at it. In BALANCE OF TERROR of the TOS, RACISM was very much a part of Starfleet, and still existed in Star Trek VI. Bu magically, by the time of TNG, Roddenberry decided females captains were okay & everyone in Starfleet is PERFECT without conflict or racism.
While I LOVE how TOS evolved, when they changed from The Cage with a female First Officer to the TOS with Spock as 1st officer, the network was FINE with keeping the female 1st officer but t was RODDEBERRY who decided to scrap her & promote Spock instead. So, even in the late 60s, the NETWORK had NO PROBLEM with a WOMAN in a command position . There is also a PR story Roddenberry said - that may or may not be true - about keeping Uhura around but HE claims the network says a BLACK female can NEVER be in command of the ship. I find that questionable since they were fine with a WHITE female in command. But the 60s was probably more RACIST than SEXIST, so who knows!?
Oh well, people like to think of Trek's optimistic non-racists, non-sexist, perfect humans in the TNG era instead of the reality of TOS. And that's fine. Facts & reality aside, Just sayin.
@@europeanpatriot8031 Go home wokey, your name isn't fooling me. Discovery made a black protagonist for political reasons, in DS9 it was story telling and world building.

DS9 was by far my favorite.
"Stirring" doesn't even begin to do this justice. This is deeply moving. Thank you for making this.
Voyager is where it all started for me. It makes me so happy to hear it's theme again after not hearing if for a couple years. You did an amazing job!
You know it's a good cover when the artist gives you a new larger appreciation for the piece. I was never really into Star Trek, but this just gave me a new found appreciation for the intros...and as usual I will sincerely say "beautiful as always".
Thank you!! I recommend you give the series a try (my favorite is Voyager)... but that is if you are a scifi fan 🙂
Good times, good times. Remember when the future was optimistic? I remember.
It still is.
I remember, and I remember when Star Trek reflected that hope. Discovery and Picard are definitely a sign of the times, and it doesn't look good.
These are difficult times. However, we should remember this: "There is no correct resolution. It's a test of character." (James T. Kirk)

Yes but remember that according to star trek timeline we’re headed towards the wars on terrorism and then the creation of enhanced soldiers.

@LittleRedRhuari RRR Now that I think about it, yeah he problably would’ve had a more complex way of describing this.
The Picard theme brought tears to my eyes. It was beautiful.
I am glad I am not the only one.
Too bad the show was so bad...until the final.
I love the theme, too. I think it fits the spirit of the series well. To me (grown up with TNG and DS9) sounds like a requiem for a forgotten dream...
And the last chord repeats the first series theme.
The soundrack of voyager really harmonises with the solo violin.
The Voyager opening is quite possibly the most beautiful Star Trek theme to have been orchestrated. You did a fantastic job with the various themes.
So cool! For years, Voyager's theme was the only one I didn't skip through when binging. Now, I cannot get enough of Picard's theme. So beautifully written and arranged, almost as if you can feel the optimism to do good, be good, and inspire good within in.
It's a shame that the actual series had none of that.
I grew up on TOS and TNG... but DS9's theme is just absolutely gorgeous. I've loved all of Trek for many various reasons but one constant is the excellence of the themes. Absolutely beautiful music.
The transition between Voyager and Enterprise was amazing!
Deep Space Nine is one of the deepest shows in STAR TREK universe, it showed us how war affects everyone. How people lay down their lives for their factions and how they become heroes. The Deep Space Nine theme is a tribute to those officers of Starfleet and Klingon Defense Forces.
Don't forget the Romulans, they did their part too (even if it took some uh cheating by Sisko and Garak)
I just want to point out that those officers didn’t have to die if it wasn’t for the complete and total incompetence of starfleet in that era. Starfleet was overconfident and had essentially no defenses from threats even though they knew of several, including the borg, and the dominion during the Cold War, but their best response was to pull the defiant, a pretty terribly designed ship out of mothballs, make one decently designed ship, and two overpriced and not at all practical designs, and the last three were only entering service after the war. Also ds9 is bad.
@@starmada105 Agreed with your point. But DS9 is excellent!
@@Arnoudbr mmm I recently tried to give ds9 a fair chance and just can’t really get into it. The entire premise is “to boldly go where no man has gone before” and a space station just doesn’t really scratch that itch. They eventually get the defiant but that’s a military ship, not an exploratory vessel, and the show is still on ds9 most of the time anyway so I don’t see the point. Maybe it’s for some people but I know a lot of people who just despise the show.
@@starmada105 I understand your point of view. In a way DS9 is the opposite of Star Trek.
I'm tooootally not crying right now.

Voyager’s theme’s high notes made me tear up, such beauty and hope in that song. Hope our crew makes it safely home.
It's liquid pride not tears :-)
My favourite one is New Generation, DS9 and Voyager. So majestic. Awesome job with both music and the visuals, I really appreciate that!
I love that the Picard theme is based on the Ressikan flute tune from "The Inner Light."
God, that episode...
Mind. Blown.
I’m so glad someone said it!!
It shows how much of an impact it had on his life. He’s just as much Kamin the Iron-Weaver as he is Jean-Luc Picard the Starfleet officer, diplomat, and vintner.
Im not a big fan of Picard. the show is (as Jean Luc says in the Picard show) an UNMITIGATED DISASTER! the theme is pretty good though.
Its way better than the Discovery theme which is just very generic, stock music sounding.
The haunting melody of Picard is so appropriate. Tinged with sadness and regret, to me it represents the sound of a human mind struggling to remember a word, or a memory, that is just out of reach. Like a word on the tip of one's tongue that one is trying to find. A poignant statement on the aging process of a man who led a well-lived life. Elegant and wistful, aware that the end is approaching, searching for meaning, purpose, and a just-right epitaph. This video represents a lot of hard work. Well done!

We stopped answering to comments but wanted to clarify some things that some of you keep stating over and over:
- "Badge on the wrong side": we did it so it's seen, if not the violin would be blocking it.
- "TOS bridge is wrong / LCARS / looks horrible / etc": yeah, we know... We failed there lol
- "You should have stopped at Enterprise / Last 2 are not canon / Discovery sux": While we also prefer the older Trek, we think that these series are part of it and couldn't leave them out. Besides, you can't deny that all the soundtracks are beautiful and they have the most amazing composers!
- "That's not a violin / It has frets, you don't know how to play the violin / electric violins are for losers": I record all my tracks with my acoustic "traditional" violin, or else it would be impossible to keep a consistency on our audios. As you already have figured out I don't play live on the videos and use different electric or acoustic violins depending on the video's theme. However, an electric violin is an excellent option for live performances and it doesn't mean that the violinist is less talented.
- "Too many flares": Like J.J. Abrams, Davor feels that there is no such thing as too many flares... Only too few flares.
For all of you that have left nice comments and appreciate our work, we thank you! We try to read all the comments at least once a week, and it's very heart-warming to see the reception this video had.
Love
B&D
Not picky about any of those, I’m here for the music because ohhh it sounds soooo good on the violin!
Don't worry about the haters. Some people have to have everything 100% perfect even though there is no such thing. The music is fabulous.
Can't wait for the startrek album!
Please please release a Star Trek album!
Question, on the video that this comment is posted on, could you make a version where the last part talking about patreon is not included in the video so we can watch this on repeat? Simple request please dont hate me as most people getting asked this question would from what I have experienced so far.
I love the people who are into star trek they are the future of humanity ❤
It is what we all yearn for...a future with hope
Absolutely 💯 @@wy498
A never ending journey.... Gene's legacy will live on for generations
Gene-rations
That’s what Gene planned to do when he created Star Trek. Not just leave a legacy but to establish a bright future for us and for Earth.
Nope. It pretty much died when Alex Kurtzman started churning out his abominations.
@@ABQSentinel Hate to agree still the movies can at least admit they are an alternate timeline. I don't know what the hell they are trying to prove with STD and Picard; B-grade dystopian scifi at best.
@@honorhc Yeah, I agree. And I actually liked the first J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie. It worked, precisely because it's an alternate timeline. But, yeah... STD (aptly named) and Picard are an absolute abomination. They do nothing but shit all over the legacy of Star Trek and the established lore. An admiral telling Picard to "Shut the fuck up"... what smooth-brain thought that up?!
TOS: nostalgic and intriguing
TNG: thought-provoking and awe-inspiring
DS9: story-driven and dramatic
VOY: emotionally moving
ENT: action-packed
STD: STD
@@Gaalsien you do realize the correct term is DIS or DSC? Not fucking STD. We dont call voyager or enterprise STV or STE now do we.
DIS and PIC aren't trek at all. So no problem here. Orville is trek! 😁
@@diymicha4905 Quite right. 'The Orville' is the true successor to STTNG. 🙂
@@HoneydewMellon Yep. The moment someone calls it "STD" I know they have nothing of value to contribute. Kind of like people declaring that X recent Star Trek series "isn't Trek" because they don't like it.
I grew up with TNG, and to me that's the ultimate show, but there's something incredibly special about the DS9 theme. It's just so...grand, emotional, and fits the series so well. And your rendition of Archer's theme may be the most beautiful version I've ever heard.
I agree with everything
Yep. Agreed.
Both ds9 themes are great! Season 1-3 was a few horns. As season 4 started the station was busier so they made the theme deeper with more horns and guitars
Thank you ❤❤
Such a beautiful tribute video to all the Star Trek shows, absolutely amazing, great job!!!!!
I don’t know why but listening to all of this........it made me happier then I’ve ever been in the last few months. Thank you for the beautiful work.
Thanks for listening
Made me happier too :))
SAME!!
You guys missed an Opening theme! The mirror universe deserves its justice. Glory to the Terran Empire!
Jokes aside, this is very well done. I also understand why it was left out. A military march randomly thrown into a medley about the wonders of space exploration would probably throw everyone off.
As a lifelong fan of the franchise, I'm intimately familiar with each of the themes from all the series, and this rendition was absolutely beautiful. The entire bit had me moved to tears.
Congrats!!Amazing job,the songs and images!Ty in the name of all Star trek and spin-offs fans!Live long and prosper STAR TREK!!!
My Dad was a true Trekkie. He went on to join the adventure Thursday. God speed Dad
My Dad Too Xd
went to a convention dressed as a klingon did he? bit of a saddo.
🖖
@@vivalehoho is that two fingers in the pink and two in the stink?
@@Daisy-ef6bq yeah ok troll
I legit cried while watching this. Picard's intro is probably the most beautiful
Hearing them all like this...how many of us have such emotional investment in the STverse--I think of the friends I'd watch it with, now somewhere in a nebula, and this medley transports them all back. Such a great project for the lockdown and so well done.
That's a beautiful comment. Thank you ❤
It brought tears to my eyes to hear each Star Trek themes, especially the Voyager one. the visuals are fantastic. It’s as if you were on board the ships featured in each series.
Voyager for the win, my friend.
I think this actually made me realize how well the Picard theme did at encapsulating the nostalgia feeling that the show possessed. The theme feels like coming home after a long journey... it feels warm and friendly. Especially starting at 4:50
I also appreciate the choice for Enterprise. That song really feels like something is beginning and growing into something more, which I feel was the intent of that show.
Agreed! Thank you for watching
Amen!
Scotty James yes! It’s the episode where he lives out an entire lifetime! I hadn’t heard the Picard theme until this video and just finished Next Gen for the first time a couple of weeks ago. That was by far one of my favorite episodes and hearing the Picard theme actually brought tears. What a beautiful sentiment to use that for the theme since it was such an influential experience for him
@Scotty James 🤯
@Scotty James no fcking way!
Wow Gene rodenberry . What a World you created ❤️
He Boldly created, what no one had created before.
I forgot how beautiful DS9's theme was. I enjoyed this so much.
DS9's theme makes me want to learn an instrument just so I can play it :)
Star trek is what keeps me hopeful each day as I watch the news, study human history, and enjoy my daily life. Because in spite of our wars, neglect, and current social problems, I truly believe in Gene Roddenberry's vision.
It is just amazing to me how well the Voyager theme has aged. I used to think it was ok but nothing too special at the time, but hearing it now.. It's totally amazing
