It sounds like seeing the first girl you loved again 20 years later..and she’s as beautiful as you remember
Yes, she is.
Except it's 30 years, dude. Technically it's over 40 years since this is from the Motion Picture.
Definitely ❤
🙌
Shes a Lady ....treat her Like that ...and she always brings you home😢
Jerry Goldsmith deserves better than an acknowledgement.
that was one of the injustices of life! His music has something special!
SO much great work for decades.
@@mhsenoiazei6401 In France, his death was ignored, I was revolted. Five years later, I made some tribute : creatures-imagination.blogspot.com/2009/07/lhomme-qui-faisait-chanter-les-mogwai.html
Goldsmith should definitely be in the film score hall of fame.
Yes he deserves the accolades!
I seen the motion picture on opening night. Everyone there cheered as the cast came on one at a time. But when the shuttle craft turned and we seen the Enterprise, everyone started to cry. Including myself. Felt like homecoming of friends. I’ve never had that with any other film. Star Trek forever.
I did too back in 1979.
Nerd. Motion picture 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@drake.707 it is literally called Star Trek the Motion Picture, it was the first star trek movie so instead of calling it the “film” or the “movie” they chose the “motion picture” which sounds much better
@@drake.707 You come off as a total imbecile.
People today don't understand why that sequence is as long as it is. Back then, for fans discovering the new Enterprise after they had thought Star Trek would be dead forever, that sequence was perfect.
"Let's make sure that history never forgets the name... Enterprise."
Alonzo Branson “That will be the day”
I thi k its a safe bet history will never forget the name Enterprise. Star Trek will live on for ever. We Trekkers will see to that.
"Space...the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new lives and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before!!"
Dr McCoy to Data: "She's got the right name. Now, you remember that, you hear? You treat her like a lady. And she'll always bring you home."
(Raises an eyebrow). Indeed.
Enterprise...no one but no one has ever composed such a fantastic theme about a ship ever. God bless Gerry Goldsmith! And yes he should have got the Oscar for this theme!
Well i would find that very strange, because Gerry has nothing to do with it, but Jerry surley would have earnt it
Amen
@@hansbier5198 Why would Jerry have surley earnt it? Surely he would've been happy.
One of the most stirring and uplifting pieces of music ever! Perfect for (proper) Star Trek.
Yes 🫶🏼
"I'd like to see the bridge of the Enterprise: NCC one seven Oh one. No bloody A, B, C, or D."
Or E
@@mikegallant811 Plenty of letters in the alphabet.
@@AlanCanon2222 How true. And in Star Trek Online, the Enterprise F is featured, and has a nice Andorian fella as its captain. Va'Kel Shon I believe is his name. First Andorian to command an Enterprise!
The new star trek movies has enterprise NCC 1701 its just taking place before the original series at the end of star trek beyond you can see another enterprise being built NCC 1701-A
Scotty should said Ncc-1701 refit bridige
Because i think he served in that ship longer than tos enterprise before refit
A love song to a starship.
Jerry Goldsmith wrote and composed an original score for this scene, but it was rejected by Robert Wise. This score was his second attempt.Beautiful and breath taking.fits the scene like a glove.
That's our beautiful lady! It's her!
I first heard it in 1979, now it's 2021 , still as timeless and beautiful as ever.
I was 19 then and now soon to be 61..
Thank you, Jerry Goldsmith.
We will never see her like again...
Dr McCoy to Data: "She's got the right name. Now, you remember that, you hear? You treat her like a lady. And she'll always bring you home."
I got to shake hands with Jerry Goldsmith, 40 years ago this month after a concert in OKC. He was very polite and happily signed my program. A great memory.
Nice
Wow. I hope you've got that program under lock and key.
@@richardhart9204 It's on my wall, next to my Mancini autograph!
@@Camop-iz9kt It's up to you, but you may want to keep them locked up and away from light exposure, which could fade them.
@@richardhart9204 They're not in direct light
You know who the main character of the Star Trek franchise really is? It's the Enterprise.
I'd say third after Spock then Kirk.
Majel Roddenberry, Nichelle Nicholas, George Taki, et al. as well
I agree that it’s The Enterprise. Without her there is no achievement ❤️
Absolutely 😊
Watch all the other new Star Trek series .....they all Lack one Thing The 8th Charakter .....the Ships like the Enterprise the Defiant the Voyager ....they all carried their own Weight in the show
You never hear movie music like this nowerdays
the perfect theme for the captain being reunited with his ship
Yes ❤️
If you don't get emotional listening this piece of art you are not human, and also you don't like movies.
The Enterprise.. the most beautiful starship ever created.. and this theme really fits with it..
Damn right Bones. She's a Lady. Treat her like a Lady and she'll always bring you home
You, sir, could not be more right! 🖖😀
The enterprise would be nothing without Scotty
The SSV Normandy is a close second
The refit is the most beautiful ship out there
This is forever the real Oscar winner. Didn't it?
I listened to this with my eyes closed and I could see the scene play out in my mind, dialog included, and when those horns cut in at 3:13 I felt a rush of goosebumps race down my spine.
I love the solo trumpet at 1:28 then immediately followed by those unimaginable strings.... Sends shivers ..but the whole piece is incredible!
Agree
To compose that...!
Only a genius...!
❤️❤️
Indeed
may history never forget the name.. ENTERPRISE...
Make it so.
I did listen to this music every night before sleeping when I was a kid. It made me love orchestral music. Today, 30 years later, I listened to it again and it made me cry. It is so beautiful, so complex. Jerry Goldsmith was a truly beautiful mind. Thank you Sir, you brighten my life.
So wonderful!
Up until this point in the movie, no one had seen the new Enterprise. This theme perfectly captured the awe and wonder of the new ship design. The beautiful new curves, more feminine design, and pristine beauty. Even the little things like the worker shuttle pods and refit technicians in space suits are captured in this piece. So lovely.
The way she was meant to be seen.
"She's a beauty, Scotty. It's good to be back home."
"Aye Captain."
True, but it wasn't just the beauty of the design. She looked REAL. MASSIVE. And her extraordinary appearance in an extraordinary-looking motion picture was a validation of a lot of fans whom most other people thought of as crazy, who thought science fiction was "gadget writing" and a second-rate art form and who thought all of those things combined together in Star Trek to be massively overrated or a strange cult phenomenon.
The scene still takes my breath away
At the end, during the applause, I muttered to myself, "Permission to come aboard." Love their rendition. I grew up loving Goldsmith, Williams, and Barry. Movie music is my fave.
Me too, Jerry Goldsmith is my favourite composer of all time, John Barry is up there too but no one wrote music quite like Jerry.
Permission granted, Sir.
When Star Trek the Movie came out, I freely admit that I came out of the theater thinking how nice it was to spend time with a bunch of old friends.
I agree. The movie wasn't great, but it was nice to see my heroes alive again. I might have been thrilled if they'd done nothing but have lunch together. I missed "the gang" from Star Trek.
Disco Dave I miss them even more now.
I waited in line for eight hours JUST for that reason.
(Only one theater as playing it in my city)
I got to see STTMP when it first premiered in the base theater at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The theater was mostly us sailors from CVN-65, which was in drydock there. About the time the Klingons made their appearance, some knucklehead in the back started what sounded like the beginnings of a running commentary. Most of the theater just turned around and gave him a hard look. He was quiet for the rest of the movie.
@@johnmothershead1690 I bet those CVN-65 sailors were proud as fuck when Star Trek IV debuted
"They gave her back to me Scotty."
"Gave her back? I doubt it that easy with Nogura."
"Yer rrright!"
"Any man that could do that: I wouldnae dare disappoint. She launch on time sir - and she'll be ready!"
Love that scene and the score.
Jerry was one of if not the best film tv score/theme composers of all time
He’s underrated for sure
It was an absolute disgrace Jerry Goldsmith never won the Oscar for this composition.
agree totally.
He was allegedly pretty proud of it. And rightfully. It's one of the best things he ever wrote - and by extension, one of the best soundtracks ever.
But he can say that he wrote this. This is worth more than 100 Oscars :-)
This and Superman were passed over for Midnight Express, seems like they got ripped off.
Utterly Iconic.
in 3000 years, we Will play this Song to travel in The Space ,
Whoever gave this a thumbs down needs to have a Ceti eel in their ears
Or be transported to a Borg ship?
Yeah really. Face the wrath of Khan.
Lol!
This is the Real Star Trek.
Enterprise is not just a mere lady. She's the Grand Lady of the Galaxy, a loving mother.
"You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home" (Admiral Leonard "Bones" McCoy)

You have to hear Goldsmith talk about how tough it was for him to write this score. And the fact that the first cue was rejected by Robert Wise really put an enormous amount of pressure on him. A true master.
Magnificent is insufficient to describe this piece of music. Mr. Goldsmith you were an absolute master of your craft.
This has power the 2009 era Trek movies could only dream of.
Jerry Goldsmith was an authentic genius.
He learned with Richard Wagner.
So were james Horner, and michael glacchino.
When I first saw the movie I was five years old. I have, and will, never forget this music.
Been a hardcore Trekkie since 74. We had to wait from 69 to 79 for a new Star trek if you exclude the cartoon show. This means a lot.
The most harmonic masterpiece of all times! - Especially the warm strings(1st,2nd violins, violas)(and the metallic brass sounds!)
Yes! Absolutely
Agreed
The Anthem of Earth. When Humankind is finally in peace.
This song must be played when we launch the first starship to carry the name Enterprise!
STtMP is one of Goldmith´s masterpieces. A very nice live performance thanks to the good orchestra and the honest and efficient conducting!
He also composed the main theme for Star Trek: Voyager, which is equally beautiful.
Clearly one of the milestone of film music. And he had to rush it to recording, all in 10 DAYS!!!!
Correction: this is his masterpiece.
@@johntracy72 yes agree
Takes me right back to the first time I saw this scene in 1979. I was barely a teenager, but what a memory.
Yes
This is a wedding theme when you really listen to it. Kirk, the Groom is the horns. Enterprise, the Bride, the strings. This is them meeting at the altar. A man and his true love.
"Damn. She is beautiful."
Very well said. I don't think you could have described it more perfectly. Especially the moment when the shuttlepod swings round to the front and he see his beautiful lady in all her beauty.
i can - just - buy this. it's definately a love theme
@@jaycegti2200 what about when we go behind to see her new, 'fat' bum [secondary hull]? btw i worship the refit Enterprise and this track!
Great analogy.
Jerry Goldsmith was one of my favorite composers of all time. What a career.
I got chills when I saw and heard this part in the movie theater, I bought an 8 track tape of the movie sound track and played this when I was driving a young patient in an ambulance to Shands teaching Hospital in Gainesville, and the kid went wild when this piece ended at the same time I finished backing the ambulance up to the patient loading area. My partner an I also wore the green medical insignia that McCoy had on his ST:TMP uniform.
Nice touch.
My god, this piece always shivers my whole body with strong emotions every time I see/hear it. And you? What do you feel?
I feel the exact same way, brother.
Me too. This music is so important for showing the new Enterprise that I can't imagine any other soundtrack
Lump in the throat every time.
The same way !
I also feel like I'm on a star trek.
The beauty about Goldsmith is a lot of the modern film composers you can hear their influences such as Holst, Respighi, Wagner etc...but Goldsmith had originality and was rarely repetitive.
Agree
This made me cry. Only the '77 Star Wars soundtrack even cones close to this.
Back again a year later...still have this marked in my favorites and listen to it constantly! Brings back the wonder and amazement I felt every day when I worked in the film as an Enterprise crew member. BRAVO!
How cool!
Can you imagine a mainstream movie being made with a scene like this, with music like this? The movie even has an overture! One of the reasons why STTMP is one of my favourite ones of the series.
If I was a director or producer, I would demand a powerful leitmotif as well as an overture no matter what the movie company says.
I so agree !
His ability to match sweep, melody and majesty were perhaps unmatched in the world of soundtracks.
Yes
When it hits the crescendo at 3:12 it's like fuck yeah! That bit really gives me chills. And you can tell Mr Goldsmith is really enjoying it. Bloody awesome film score. Even non-Trekkies can appreciate this.
"And you can tell Mr Goldsmith is really enjoying it."
How can you tell, Keith, considering Jerry Goldsmith wasn't in attendance due to a prior commitment of being deceased, roughly four years before this concert.
Deuterium2H, "...due to a prior commitment..." Priceless.
+Deuterium2H Well I didn't know that then, but I do now. It's still an awesome soundtrack & that's just what I was trying to say. Truth be known, I don't even know what Mr Goldsmith looked like now I know he croaked. But I'm not going to put myself out in order to find out.
+Keith Oakes here here! My sentiments exactly :)
"TREKKERS" is the appropriate term, unless they "love Dr. Spock's ears, they're so sexy" ... Trekkies get trekked, TREKKERS do the trekkin'.
Wonderful music to one of my favorite scenes in a Star Trek movie
Goldsmith, Horner and John Williams. The composers from our time whose music will still be there 100 years from now. When rap and hip hop and whatever thump thump crap is gone, they will remain. Beautiful, heart grabbing, moving, tear jerking, they've got it!
I would add elfman to that
@ Disco Dave. Well said! I couldn't agree more about the lasting magnificence of John Williams', James Horner's and Jerry Goldsmith's (and also John Barry's) movie music score compositions and that the so-called "music" of today , which so sadly is for the most part just a pile of garbage, will eventually be consigned to the dustbins of history.
I'm never one to put down music because of preference. I like all music that aim for one goal which is to evoke a feeling. For me a lot that came from Goldsmith, Horner and Williams, it also came from a lot of what's now considered old school rhymesayers, Nas, Biggie, Tupac, Luda, Twista, Em, Rakim and many others. Also in that mix are bagpipers and Latin chorals and hymns. Music is everywhere, just open your mind. That hip hop head, might be sampling classic music for the next generation to learn about.
@@humblebugg5270 and please' dont forget Basil Poledouris...
Bernard herrmann GENIUS
THIS is what MUSIC really is.
I hope Goldsmith and Horner are up there making beautiful music :)
+Gwen King Truly a loss for all of us...
+LTWeezie I know people are not going to believe me but I had a premonition about Horner dying
+Gwen King They'll be composing together with masters like Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and Wagner, filling the heavens with divine music...
I'm not religious, but that would be pretty close to heaven for me.
+Gwen King Yes but look what they have left us!
+Stand4Liberty there are very few pieces that evoke the exact emotion that I think the director was striving for but this piece from a genius like Goldsmith plus Wise's brilliant direction did just that. This one piece managed to become everything I think humanity could be as a spacefaring race if we would just try harder
Wow! A magnificent composition! And performed by such a wonderfully skilled orchestra! Just: WOW!
"Thank You Mr. Scott."
Aye sir.
Can you imagine the original studio orchestra practicing their individual parts and then coming together to hear what they'd been practicing? I bet some of them even teared up! Jerry Goldsmith was definitely the man!
Absolutely
Sweet Lord, that was beautiful. I know it's just some music written for a Sci-Fi movie, but it seems like so much more than that.
Exactly. It was music written to actually communicate to the audience.
Indeed old Jerry Goldsmith wrote all of the music for Star Trek and his pieces are indeed masterpieces happy birthday Star Trek #StarTrek50
Aaron Peavler/Geomodelrailroader Railroad Photography He wrote a lot of music for Star Trek: he didn't write all of it.
It was. It was seeing the beloved Enterprise again after many years.
Classical music was just music composed to amuse kings, and now it is revered.
I was fortunate enough to work in the film as a Science Officer, and totally think this is one of Jerry Goldsmith's best scores! It has to be a nice pan and really shows the new refitted Enterprise...WELL DONE!!
Nice! :)
LTWeezie Lucky.
+LTWeezie Don't talk to me. ;)
+Brian Bois Gilbert LOL All I can say is when I visited the set of the original series, everything was made like you could do it yourself in your garage for a project...when you stood on the transporter pad and looked up, there were three Sylvania light bulbs. Spock's viewer was a blue light bulb. When I was in LA working as an extra and sometimes just watching them shoot ST:TMP, it was AMAZING! Everything worked. Even though it was top secret, they trusted me and I got some amazing photos. That was the most fun I have ever had working on a film as an extra.
LTWeezie Man, you're a REAL buzz kill. Kidding, kidding,
No man really, I appreciate you sharing memories, must've been magic and a learning experience at the same time. Also nice to know that there's still those who have a sense of integrity and loyalty to those they work for. A rare thing in these times.
The film was uneven in many respects, but the score is an absolute masterpiece. A few of the more subtle pieces that barely pop on screen are deep, expressive classical movements that would be at home in a symphony of a master composer. The film is worth watching, but treat yourself to listening to the entire score independently.
Agree
BEAUTIFULLY EPIC! And this is coming from a Star Wars guy.
I like both Star Wars and Star Trek.
You can find John Williams doing the main theme to this film as a tribute to his friend and fellow composer here on TH-cam.
I watch this wonderful clip at least once a week...LOVE IT! Even more meaningful for me because I actually had the honor of working in this film as an Enterprise crew member. Wish it could have lasted forever!
OMgosh how cool!
....thank you Mr. Scott.
5:12 is *glorious* ... Goldsmith was exactly that, a smith who forged musical gold and gifted it to the world.
Do you mean the horn counter point?
Well said, comrade.
Indeed He Is. JJ Is good At Special FX But Never As Good Ad Musicals And Making Simple Things Turn Into Magic.
indeed he was his masterpiece will forever be the song that brings us together The Star Trek Theme.
Yes, Jerry Goldsmith's music is very dear to me but if it comes to the french horn I always have to think of Star Trek II and Horner's work. Goldsmith fans should check out the Omen soundtracks too.
Gene: Jerry, I need an orchestral score…
Jerry: We’ll, you came to the right man, Gene.
Gene: of course, of course. But you see, I need a *special* score.
Jerry: I’m intrigued. How special?
Gene: Well, I’m bringing Star Trek to the big screen. And the studios gave me enough in the budget to build a proper model of The Enterprise…
Jerry: Oh…
Gene: We’re going to do a five minute fly by to show her off for the fans. No dialogue. You think you can compose something epic enough for that?
Jerry: Say no more, Gene. Say no more.
I can hear the naval influences, like a great ship in a vast ocean...conquering big waves! Very clever! lovely!
it does have naval roots, but mainly it is to complement the beauty of the newly commishined enterprise. Go and watch the actual clip this music was intended for and you will see what I mean.
+Well No Drr Gaming more the majesty of a modest yet strong vessel which by now was supposedly around 20 years old
correction: not newly commissioned, the new refit of the enterprise
+Well No Drr Gaming 👌
Set the sails !!
Jerry Goldsmith is an absolute legend Star Trek wouldn't be the same without him
What an amazing piece of music. Hairs on the back of the neck standing up!
The greatest award this music could have is that so many people love it. We will forget who won the Oscar for the best score in whatever year, but we don't forget music that has so moved us. We run out and get the original soundtrack recording, and we also get a CD anthology of movie music themes composed by Jerry Goldsmith, and that's what we remember!
This is true!😊
The look on Kirk's face when the shuttle swings around to the front of Enterprise as if he's been reunited with his lost love. The crescendo of music immediately as Kirk sees the front of the Enterprise was perfect.
Chokes me up and I don’t know why. But it’s so moving it kind of gets me in my chest. Long live the Enterprise
She’s a beauty 💫
I hope they play this at USS Enterprise's commissioning ceremony (the 3rd Jerry Ford class CVN . She'll be laid down after USS John F Kennedy...). It's already too damn long without an Enterprise I the fleet...
Seth, excellent idea!! You should send a letter to your congressperson and suggest that they float this idea by the Secretary of Navy and the Defense.
Seth Kimmel of
Seth Kimmel -- think I heard that they did play it.
Damn right Seth. I'm British but a world without an Enterprise is just wrong
The Royal Navy does have an Enterprise, HMS Enterprise (H88). She's a survey ship. There's a Wiki article if you're interested in the details.
One of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard in my life! I remember seeing the movie in the theater! I know that entire scene.. and even the entire movie... gets complaints for being "slow". But I was in awe at the entire scene, thanks to the music! (Yeah, seeing the Enterprise on a massive screen with little men in space suits floating around it was pretty cool too.)
For me, at least, this song (and that movie segment) really captured Kirk's love affair with the Enterprise (and mine)!
+David Raasch I love Star Trek The Motion Picture. This music is Awesome!! We had not seen the folks together since '69. This was so Brilliant !!! Still love this movie today.. ;-)
+David Raasch The best part of the movie.
There was something magical about seeing that scene in the theatre... that beautiful USS Enterprise... 25 feet tall... that swelling score... The Enterprise LOOKED real ! When I showed my Son this movie, this particular scene I had to tell him, "imagine this scene in a darkened theatre on a 30 foot high screen with theatre sound... magic is the word to describe it"
That scene was my first "nerd-gasm" lol
I wholeheartedly agree!
This scene and score were a love letter to the fans in 1979.
Honestly if the entire movie had been that one scene, it would have been worth the price of admission.
Agree! An incredible piece of music
Along with the Pan Am scenes in 2001:A Space Odyssey, The Enterprise scene in TMP are the greatest space scenes ever put to film. They are the epitome of the space opera that is lost in today's Star Trek and Star Wars re-boots.
Indeed
SCOTT: "the crew havent had near enough transition time with all that new equipment, and the engines havent even been tested at warp power...AND an untried captain..."
KIRK: "two and a half years as chief of starfleet operations may have made me a little stale but i wouldnt consider myself 'untried'. They gave her back to me, Scotty"
SCOTT: "GAVE her back, sir? I doubt it was that easy with Nogura"
KIRK: "Yer rrright"
SCOTT: "ahh, any man who could acomplish such a feat i woud na dare dissapoint. She'll launch on time, sir. And she'll be ready"
+cchill68 strewth. Those two hated each other but this is a heartwarming dialogue, really evoked by the acting. I've thought of that myself from time to time when watching this scene.
+Doug19752533 Scotty always got some of the best lines. "Admiral! There be whales here!", "Laddie, shouldn't you rephrase that?", "Up your shaft!" and of course, "It's green." Fair winds and following seas, Mr Scott.
+Grace Skerp " The more they rework the plumbing the easier it is to stop up the drain." is another good one
+Richard Poteat Best engineer in the fleet. I'm betting that in his quarters there's the framed quote of the SeaBees: The difficult we do right away; the impossible will take a little longer.
As much as Mr. Scott tried to be his usual miracle worker self and how She tried, our Lady wasn't ready to be thrust out there again
Such a beautiful piece of music
“Enterprise, the music that we got lived long...fortunately.”
Starfleet, this is Kirk,please express my congratulations to the orchestra.
... and prospered.
Like this more than the fast paced version they used throughout ST TNG .
I agree. This one is more like a rhapsody, where the TNG theme is more martial.
It's the same music. The TNG theme is an adaptation of Star Trek the Motion Picture's opening credits, slightly altered to meld the original series' prologue and fit the time limit normally allowed for a TV series theme.
Absolutely. This is majestic
TNG only had an hour to do the show so the pace had to be picked up. The movie had 3 long bloody hours to sit through. But yes, musically I like this theatrical version better.
Лично для меня Джерри Голдсмит один из самых гениальных композиторов за всю историю музыки.
Я согласен
Yes agree
Loved Mr. Goldsmith and miss him still! He and John Williams are in a class by themselves!!!!
Jerry Goldsmith is a gifted composer and also a fantastic conductor. His technique and style are amazing.
This is one reason why ST TMP is my favorite of the ST films the only one that really presented us with the beauty and majesty of space travel in the future.
I wanna thank all the Trekkie nerds who made it possible for me to see this. 😊
Shawn Owens 🖖🖖🖖😁
You're welcome, it was our pleasure.
You're welcome. Live long, and prosper!
Hey I'm right here. Loved that f+++in g show since 74. I was blown away the first time I saw the Enterprise cross the TV screen.
Goosebumps!
He is a Legend 🙏👍👍👍
Wow, ..how fitting for the Grand Dame of the galaxies! the music really tugs at the heartstrings!
This orchestral performance always makes me cry a little, with tears of joy, awe, and hope for humanity's future ( Roddenberry dream). It's so beautifully done. I can visualize the Enterprise ( Star Trek The Motion Picture's flyby 'beauty shot' exterior close-ups). I fantasize that I'm a Captain in Starfleet on a Constellation Class Starship, in my dreams....... pathetic, huh? I know I just really need to get a life. I'm just a knucklehead fanboy, apologies. Thanks for sharing.
Enterprise is a Constitution. But I agree.
Really no need for apologies.
Live long and lrosper !
Xen1701 well, prosper is the word ;-)
Yes, yes......'Constitution' Class Starship....... and "Live Long And Prosper". A couple of typos, and folks get all itchy, and uppity. Roddenberry's dream of the future is supposed to make us better people than that, and above all that nit picking, and ass biting. Just joking. LOL. What's the other Vulcan adage....."Peace Be With You", or something like that? Or, better yet, how about a big fat "Q'Plagh'!". Trekkers Rule!
wasn't meant that way. I apologize for any offense. I was genuinely trying to help.
I took days off from work to see two movies on their opening days, this and Alien…
Great memories from all those years ago…
Musical instruments being played at its ultimate best
Goosebumps from 1:33 - indescribable musical talent. The 1979 soundtrack was my comedown after a tough college day. ST:TMP soundtrack holds up 36+ years later.
Indeed it does
This is what I call great music.
A superb score. Most definitely deserved an Oscar®.
The Oscars are trash So are Video Game awards. Just a circle jerk of ideologues and their buddies.
I have often heard that the first movie was not a good one ... but I liked it!
I was in the 6th grade when the original series started in '66. Have watched virtually everything since ... and like it all.
Don't know why but a lump came to my throat listening to this again after a bit of a while. Not to mention the goosebumps; yeah, beautiful music will do that to you.
The lump comes from something to do with a realisation that this expansive piece of music comes from the best ideals of humanity and that we have so far drifted away from that ideal toward the lowest and basest thinking of fear, that we need to break the timeline, according to the guardian of forever, and correct it back to the better way of thinking and some way toward the hope and love envisaged in the 'waggon train to the stars'
Why Mr. Goldsmith did not win the Academy Award for the music for This movie is just wrong! This was The best ever soundtrack for a motion picture..... hands down!!!
***** Hey there. Thx for the reply! I did a little more research. ST:TMP came out on Dec. 7th 1979. So that would place it in the 1980 Academy Awards. I looked on Wiki and Jerry Goldsmith was Nominated But Lost to "A Little Romance" - Georges Delerue composer.
I see there is an expanded Once Upon a Time in the West score with like 20 tracks. Kinda high priced. I will have to settle going to the library getting the shorter version. Thx for letting me know. I Love Ennio Morricone!
Goldsmtih refused an Oscar nomination for 'Alien' (nomination was effective in 1980). This created bad feeling in the Academy and it contributed to 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' not winning 'Best Original Dramatic Score' in 1980's Awards. Goldsmith's refusal of the 'Alien' nomination was due to his disagreements with Ridley Scott's and editor Terry Rawling's use of his music (including use of his 1962 'Freud' score). I was stunned the day after the Oscars that year as 'ST-TMP' had seemed a certainty to win. That said, the fact that 'ST-TMP' didn't win any major score award is just astounding, since the score had received a lot of public exposure that year.
