      @@TheVarietyGuy Your passion for Trek is reflected in your sheer brilliance as a pianist and in the execution and tying together of the many themes here. Star Trek was blessed to have brilliant composers creating uplifting and Utopian music to match the sheer optimism of the series and the films. That you, as a very young person, understand and can convey this optimism and hope through your playing is very uplifting for me. Long may you continue to create such music...LLAP.

    WOW!!!! All I can say is WOW! Also, the fact that included The Animated Series, The Inner Light, and something from each film and series, you get 20 bonus points from me.The only thing I would have included was Archer's Theme from Enterprise, but that's ok. This was absolutely incredible. The fans said and now I will, Star Trek Lives!

    Honestly, given the richness of the full orchestral versions of these pieces, I was skeptical as to how well a piano only could handle this. I am no longer skeptical. This was of a tremendously high quality. Your dynamics were particularly well executed. It takes a lot of skill to keep the loudest and quietest portions balanced this well. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us music loving trekkies.

    I have heard a few dozen medleys of Star trek music, but none is as comprehensive as this one. I had this playing in the background when I heard the theme from the Animated Series, and I don't think I've ever heard that included before.
    This is really a very well assembled piece. Heck, I attended the 50th anniversary concert, and while very well put together, they might have consulted you to get a more comprehensive list of selections. Kudos!

    The end of The Inner Light made me cry and even when I'm not a big fan of Deep Space Nine the transition COMPLETLY destroyed me. And we don't talk about First Contact. This thing barried me 1,8 meters under the ground...
    AND WHY THE F is with Insurrection?! I mean HOW?! Thats so beautiful. I completly forget about this song :O And Nemesis... Idk... I think I'm dead xD
    But my favourite is still Enterprise. I don't exacly know why everyone hate this song but for me it was the best decision in the franchise.

    Ever since I was first introduced to Star Trek (as a young teenager!) I have always seen it as a grand, sweeping epic! Even the original TV series was too big for the TV screen with its swashbuckling scores and sense of wonder, all expressed through music. I am so happy that this tradition has been continued and built upon right up to the present day. This is a wonderful piano medley of some of the best Star Trek music. Thank you, Master Kaylor!

      @@TheVarietyGuy I teach guitar and piano. I was a NASA engineer on the Space Shuttle. But I have a love of music and I studied it. In my next incarnation, lol, I will be a composer. For fun, I compose themes to existing movies - what I would have composed. Sometimes, I honestly think I equalled the brilliance of the composer (in my opinion) and sometimes fell short. I never exceeded them, at least for the movies I 'scored' for fun. The ST Original Theme was one I could not top - or equal.. The latin beat, flamenco rhythm I NEVER would think to put to futuristic stories. Taxi Driver is another that's just too good. So is Fargo - using a theme from music in that area.
      I haven't watched the best ST TV episode in a while - City on the Edge of Forever. But I think there are some cool themes in it, including an old standard my band used to play, Goodnight, Sweetheart. If you watch it again, maybe it will inspire you to combine that old song with a ST theme. People love the episode COTEOF, so maybe you will thrill some fans with your original arrangement. Just a thought!

    You know, I feel that Star Trek TOS's theme is kinda romanticising the mystery of the vast expanse of space...so beautiful,yet completely unknowable.
    Whereas Star Trek-TNG's theme,is always like, Go forth,Brave men women Klingons, go where no one has ever gone before!

      Shivaranjan Menon I love that analysis! And totally agree

      Thank you! And this is possibly the best set of arrangements of Star Trek themes!
      Only a true Trekkie could have put these arrangements together and played them so beautifully...

    Just brilliant, indeed! And some of those are really crazy hard to play. And you just do as if its easy peasy lemon squeezy. Really cool. :D

    This year is Star Trek's 55th anniversary. Your medley was a great way to help me kick it off. Thank you!

    In all my life and i'm a watcher from the first Star Trek hour I 've never encountered such a well and beautiful played medley. One of the other commentarie was right . They should have you invited for the anniversary of Star Trek. Hope they'll invité you on one of the next fan meetings and let you give a concert. LLP

    Amazing! Absolutely amazing! I loved how the insignia in the corner would reflect the era. Nice touch! =)

    Good job! Though I was sad you didn't use Archer's theme for Enterprise, you did make the opening credits music palatable.

    • @TheVarietyGuy
      @TheVarietyGuy  7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I am sad I missed Archer's theme as well. Oversight on my part :/
      But thank you very much!! I appreciate it :)

    That was great to listen to! Some of my favourite themes are there (Goldsmith, Eidelmann), but it takes some seconds to recognize them, which I like... the original tunes are so deep in my blood from listening to the ever growing output of Trek-scores that here you have to switch gears in your mind. Thanks for this, I had fun! :-)

    I hear so little of the Animated Series theme, it sounds gorgeous in piano form.

    • @TheVarietyGuy
      @TheVarietyGuy  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is sadly often overlooked, but I still love it! And I agree - when you take out the very 70s sounding orchestra and big band from the original recording and just leave it to the piano, it really shows how great the composition really is! :)

    Dear David, I was blown away by your La La Land and now this. Simply extroardinary. I so love how you hit the essence of each piece. The Original theme, Inner Light, and Voyager were highlights for me, not due to virtuosity but to their sheer beauty that you convey. This is great stuff and you are so very talented. Your ear and memory are amazing. Thank You!
    Best regards always.
