I want the 90’s back ❤️
Haha me too
Damn, this is one of my favorite theme songs ever. No one ever covers this. Cheers!
Thanks, Mark! Mine too
My favourite Star Trek theme , and I’ve re watched every series /movie 100 times
I can also play the first but on piano but I’m the best piano player
Yes, it's probably my favorite as well!
Every time I hear you play this piece of Star Trek music I'm instantly transported back to November 1996 and the premiere of First Contact. Bravo sir, excellent work! 🎉
Thank you! Yes I remember seeing it in the theaters and loving the music immediately. What an epic movie
Just. Wow.
Thanks, Adam!
As someone who has only started learning piano a couple of years ago, I can only dream of playing this well. Phenomenal cover, beautifully played. Bravo, maestro.
Thanks so much, Dom! You never know where you'll be in a few years. Keep at it
THAT...was or is so awesome. It's people like you that restore my faith in humanity. Thank you
Haha thanks, Don!
amazing interpretation
Thank you, Eric!
WOW!!
Thanks!
Beautiful
thank you!
Beautifully played, one of the best themes ever
Thanks, Scott!
This song, in any form it takes, is by far my favorite melody in all the universe. I do miss the horns in this rendition though.
Yes I always loved this music. Without the french horn it'll never be quite the same
Star Trek is amazing, beautiful arrangement of this iconic score, live long and prosper mate! 🖖🏻
Thanks, Nikolas! Yes love this score
Live long and prosper!
Beautiful piece of music, certainly the best ST theme.
Agree 100%. Thanks for commenting!
Very interesting and very good love the pioneer workings.
Thanks, Mark!
I love how it slowly builds. From tender to noble and authoritative. Excellent arrangement!
thanks, Adam!
Amazing!!! Your compositions encompass the whole of the piano giving us the impression the whole orchestra is playing!!!! Absolutely love it...great job!!!!!
Thanks again, Deeann! I always look forward to your reactions :D
The last 11 chords have always just gotten me soooooo deep since I first heard this. Amazing cover. Thank you!
Thanks for watching, Christopher!
Absolutely beautiful..... And so well played... wow....
Thanks, Francois! Do you play?
It's not my favorite TNG movie, but it's my favorite theme from them. I've always thought that it's best played very slow to make it sound stately, when I play it on flute I do it slower than the actual theme. I love the delicacy and stateliness at the beginning of it, and then how it builds up later at 2:01 to the triumphant grandeur part.
Yes this is my favorite trek theme by far
Wait what. Not your favorite TNG movie? All the others were kinda crap? I understand liking Warth of Khan or Voyage Home better but Generations, Inssurection or Nemesis? Seriously?
@@Turtle1631991 I know it's not a common opinion, haha. It was a good film and I don't hate it! I just have an incredible and unexplainable soft spot for Insurrection and when I'm having a bad day and want some comfort time with my TNG friends, that's the movie I'll pick up first.
@@Turtle1631991 I actually like Nemesis the most I think. As much as I love First Contact for bringing us the Enterprise E, it also brought us the Borg Queen for the first time, and that was the beginning of the de-mystification of the Borg from the aberrant terror that they were in TNG.
Ich war nie weg❤❤
Danke!
Jerry Goldsmith always put together the best scores. Well done mate.
Thanks! Yes this is my favorite Trek score
Very well done. First time hearing a piano rendition of this beautiful theme. Bravo.
Thanks, again!
Thanks for video and brilliant improv on this wonderful theme!!!
Hi! I got your message from my website and i emailed you back. If you didnt get it, check your spam folder. Thanks again!
As a matter of fact, I think you’re the bravest man I have ever known...
Reports of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated!
Thank you, sir.
Exquisite 😊👍
thank you!
You're absolutely incredible man. Got me all emotional, great job!
thank you!
Good dynamics
Thanks, Leo
one of my favourite piece of music - you did it justice! Beautifully played!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome 👍
Thanks, Alan!
Danke❤❤ ich weine selten,..also gefällt
Gern geschehen! Freut mich, dass es Ihnen gefallen hat
Very impressive!
Thanks, Lydia!
Could you please upload the original "signature" StarTrek music? not the movie version but just the ST music? thank you 🖖🖖 Long live and Prosper 😁
Do you mean from the original series? Great suggestions. Haha maybe I'll eventually get to it!
Well done Matthew - that was absolutely fantastic. Have a good weekend.
Thanks, Gavin!
Awesome
Thanks for commenting! Glad you liked it
I don't know if you take suggestions, but Genesis Countdown from Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan by James Horner doesn't get a whole lot of attention, but should.
Thanks for the request! I do take them, I've just slowed down and don't record videos very much any more, and have a backlog. I may eventually get to it :P
@@MattCraigPiano fair enough. The James Horner Trek scores get overlooked a lot and they're quite beautiful. So is your work. Thank you for sharing your skills with us
👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
phenomenal. More trek pls!
thanks! Any specific recommendations? I might do the theme from Star Trek Generations
@@MattCraigPiano Wrath of Khan is good. Main them from Trek 09 or Night on the Yorktown
@@RedCaio ua-cam.com/video/8DB_iYWA6fg/v-deo.html
I did the main theme to Into Darkness (basically the same as Trek 09) here - although I might redo it with better sound equipment. Yes Wrath of Khan music is great too! I'll consider that one.
@@MattCraigPianoStar Trek insurrection main title
Great! Thank u very much!! Love it!
Thank you!
Great arrangement as usual, Matt! Could you do the main theme for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home next? That's the first Star Trek movie I ever watched.
that is pretty awesome music! Not sure when I'd get to it, but I'll add it to my list
@@MattCraigPiano Okay, thanks!
He is vulcan!

Wow
Thanks, Claudio!
Beat ST film and theme…👍
Agreed
Matt this is flawless. I filled out the contact form on your website to get more information on where I can find this arrangement, but I never heard back from you?
Hey Shane, I responded when you sent it and just resent the email now. It must have gone to the spam folder? If it doesn't work again let me know. And thanks Again!
Fantastic! Does this exist in a downloadable recording?
Thanks, Matthew! What do you need/want it for? I could potentially download it and extract the audio
@@MattCraigPiano basically to binge listen all day!
🖖
If this doesn't make you feel something upon hearing it, you need some analgesic cream for your SOUL. Nicely played, sir; my favorite theme of them all!
Thanks, so much, Canman! Yes, this is also my favorite Trek theme

Luv it, But its not got the feel of the French horn...................
