If there's one thing to say about Jerry and his contribution to the Star Trek franchise, the thing to say is that he never composed one bad score, all of his Star Trek scores are some of the best film scores that I have ever had the joy to listen to!
@@nathanfitzgerald6651 My favorite composer is John Williams, but, Jerry is my second favorite for a reason. He composed some of the greatest scores ever. Horner is my third favorite followed by Alan Menken at number four.
James Degner his final complete score was actually for “Star Trek: Nemesis” in 2002. But at the same time the Enterprise was battling the Remans, Jerry Goldsmith was fighting a different battle with lung cancer. He unfortunately lost that battle in 2004 at the age of 75.
James Degner so do I. The guy won an Academy Award for Best Original Score for “The Omen” and received numerous nominations including for “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” He also won an Emmy Award for the theme from “Star Trek: Voyager.”
this is the only theme for Star Trek. it has all the pomp of a military fleet but the melody itself somehow lends itself to the ideas of adventure and altruism.
Goldsmith's recording quality in the late 90's was some of the best, with this wetter reverb sound - it brought such depth to everything. This has always been my favourite recording of the end credits, especially the low brass sounding extra punchy. The new recording they did for end of season 3 of picard comes pretty close to this.
Excellent observation. I will always be partial to the rendition from ST 5, however this might very well be top 3. I was also impressed with the card table version from Picard season 3. TMP also has to be up there.
@@alfredvalrie5541thank you! We might as well add First Contact on there too haha (the middle section of the FC credits is hard to beat). I agree ST V and TMP are great recordings too. Picard S3 I really enjoyed because the composer and musicians really honoured the Goldsmith sound and mix
I have wanted this piece of music used at my future wedding ever since I have heard it back when Insurrection was released... One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever recorded... Everything from 1:20 to the end of the track.. and the "fan fare" at the end of the song is when I'd be walking up the to the alter...
I love this Jerry Goldsmith theme on an Alexander Courage start. And just when I thought he was at the top of his game, along came Star Trek 4 theme, and wow I was hooked.
Interesting fact. Jerry Goldsmith composed the score for The Motion Picture which would go on to become the theme of The Next Generation. This theme would again appear in Star Trek Insurrection and ultimately in this track. :)
The chain has lot of logos through the years. They changed into a orange 6 in 1962. The original price at a Motel 6 was $6.00. The brand got a new 6, known as the curly 6, the dotted 6 started in 1996.
It's partially because of the recording studios and the placements of the microphones away from the instruments, creating this huge concert hall atmosphere.
@@darthkurland the orchestrations are all Goldsmith. All Alexander Courage did was transcribe Goldsmith's sketches into the white paper. He essentially calls himself a "glorified copyist".
@@darthkurland Courage only conducted a Goldsmith score ONCE in Star Trek: when they recorded the TOS cue on The Motion Picture arranged by Courage himself, as Mr. Goldsmith hesitated to bring in the original theme as a leitmotif, feeling it would detract from the specific sound he was aiming for on the first movie. It would not be heard again until the unveiling of the Enterprise-A in The Voyage Home, and then again in the Kelvin trilogy.
I'll never understand the hatred for Insurrection. But I will say that I wish the aliens, the Baku looked a little more alien. They don't have to look like a Klingon or cardassian. But they could have something that makes them uniquely alien. Look at Ensign Ro or Kira. I mean from a distance you wouldn't expect them to be alien.
I feel like I have to earn the right to listen to parts off this theme, like its wrong unless you have do something that calls for this theme to be played over it.
Motel 6 by the decades: from 1962 until 1986, motel 6 locations have changed room designs. The original Motel 6, by 1995, they reached over 300 locations. The Studio 6 brand started in 1998.
Motel 6 is a chain of budget motels, started in 1962. Do you know Motel 6 has a directory in 1986? Yes. The logo has changed into a "6" with dots around it.
I don't mean to offend anyone here, but Goldsmith's 'ST-TMP' is one of the truly great film scores (admittedly the film's weaknesses meant the score could really shine) and 'ST-TFF' was a really superior big budget movie score. Goldsmith had only 17 days to score 'First Contact' and it did really show. The limitations imposed by the TNG producers' philosophy about music did not help any of the 3 TNG movies Goldsmith composed for. Those films needed a bigger, bolder, more complex approach which would have caused greater emotional engagement in the audiences. I found it disheartening to hear the Goldsmith TNG scores in the cinema. Too restricted by the franchise 'sound' built up over the previous 7 years on TV. Some lovely cues, but no really memorable, ground-breaking music.
I agree, though the Music for the TNG films was great, I would have liked the music to have been bolder and open like TMP was, with strange textures here there.
You must be a professional musician. I genuinely salute you. With all respect to your hard work and your opinion, very few people will understand what you are talking about. I feel the approach was complex enough, given the fact I and people like myself are still listening to this music to listen for those nice cues,. And the emotional engagement was more than sufficient, thank you very much, given the fact I just listened to the First Contact theme for the umpteenth with tears in my eyes.
4:08 The TNG theme at the end always gets me fired up 🖖🖖
I love the moment when you get absorbed in the atmosphere of the movie and then come back to the main theme.

I'll drink to that, sir! Goldsmith always went fascinating-nuts with Star Trek music.

@@CodyJMinor0620 Amen, brother.
Goldsmith did a great job with Trek themes.
Being the weakest film I've got to say the music in insurrection was masterful
Insurrection may not have been the best Trek movie… but dang did it have a beautiful soundtrack!
For me this is the best rendition of the theme. Especially the last part.
Me too. I loved those extra music parts Goldsmith added since the Star Trek V theme.
4:08 The TNG theme always gets me fired up! So excited when I heard it at Picard's Season 3 Premiere 😉
It's gorgeous ain't it:?
First Contact was the best movie and music of all the franchise, but love this music. Too bad Jerry is gone. Hope to meet him some day.
Poiiuuuhuhhuhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuujjuuujjjjjjjjj😂😢😮😅😊
His contribution to film and television music will never be equalled. I still miss him.

It is a shame Joel Goldsmith has gone too who composed the Stargate Atlantis theme. Class act both of them.
This is the Star Trek theme. This is just as timeless and powerful as any John Williams theme
I listened to this track 11 years ago before a very, VERY important "test" I had to undergo in college. It gave me hope and strength.
hope you succeded
@@raynekraven I did, thank you 🙂😊

I've listened to this for nearly a year straight everyday everyday.
It could even be my morning alarm.

YUSS!!!!!
I love this Jerry Goldsmith theme on an Alexander Courage start. And just when I thought he was at the top of his game, along came Star Trek 4 theme, and wow I was hooked.
Star Trek 4 theme wasn't by JG.
Leonard Rosenman did Star Trek 4.
Damn this one gave me goosebumps...every time...
This theme is very beautiful and peaceful! I love it!
This is the most comfy version of ST end credits of all the versions.
Fitting for a ST movie set in a "Fountain of Youth" planet. The arrangement is so calming and making you feeling young again....
the best theme ever
Interesting fact. Jerry Goldsmith composed the score for The Motion Picture which would go on to become the theme of The Next Generation. This theme would again appear in Star Trek Insurrection and ultimately in this track. :)
Was in First Contact in between TNG and Insurrection

Therio Cassius that’s right. “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier” co-written and directed by William Shatner.
This is my favorite Star Trek theme.

This was the last great Star Trek film & score.
Thank-you :)
Thank-you :) Film Layar Lebar Sctv 2015
The orchestration for the Star Trek theme seems a little different in this one
It's partially because of the recording studios and the placements of the microphones away from the instruments, creating this huge concert hall atmosphere.
Icbeoaneistari let’s not forget the orchestrations by Alexander Courage (who also composed the “Star Trek” fanfare).
@@darthkurland the orchestrations are all Goldsmith. All Alexander Courage did was transcribe Goldsmith's sketches into the white paper. He essentially calls himself a "glorified copyist".
