Michael Giacchino music score for st 11

[Nardpuncher]

I really don't want to hear those three opening notes ever again.
When I watch TOS...it's OK, but it doesn't have the intended effect ( making my heart swell with the wonder of exploring the final frontier blah blah) when it's used in the movies with the big drums added.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I hope the TMP theme gets worked in at some point. If anything, probably the closing credits (most of the TNG films have used it there, haven't they?).

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

I think Giacchino'll come up with his own theme for the opening/end, but we'll definitley hear the fanfare, and it'll probably be in the old-school arrangement.

 

[tharpdevenport]

The Alexander Courage fanfare is supposed to be used. Where, I don't know.

 

[Classic Fan]

Giacchino will no doubt compose his own theme to the movie. At least with the courage fanfare anyway.

I reckon it will be handled much the same as TMP soundtrack was, where Goldsmith and Courage both worked together in the recording studio to blend the original Star Trek TV theme into the captains log sequence. Thus, courage had the last laugh as his theme was used when we saw the Enterprise or heard Kirks voiceover during the warp drive repairs, a nice little hommage to the show and its legacy it created during syndication.

Anyway, back on track. I reckon Giachinno will intertwine it somewhere somehow into the score. Maybe like NuBSG mini series where the original BSG theme was used as a parade fanfare.

Or, we wont hear it until the tail end of the credits like Serenity, where we finally heard Firelfy's theme song played on an acoustic guitar, brilliance.

Holy crap, tomato made sense and I agree with him.

Except for the part about Cloverfield being a parody.

And I think the score for this Trek will be like most others.

Trek has an overall theme and each event within it has it's own.
I doub't he'll deviate from that approach. So we should get plenty of
updated classic Trek sounds, but with his own theme he scored for this
movies itself.

 

[Basil]

Didn't see the movie but rather like the Transformers score -- wouldn't mind something like that for "reinvented" StarTrek.

It was actually Fred Steiner who orchestrated the Courage theme for ST:TMP's Captain's Log sequences, at least according to Marc Shapiro's article on Jerry Goldsmith published in the August, 1988 issue of Starlog (#133).

So we are going to get derivitive wall paper. Wow, I can't wait.

You've never heard a Giacchino score have you? Check out the score for The Incredibles. Or Lost or Alias. No wall paper there.

Loved his work on The Incredibles.

I rarely go to the flicks, but I saw "The incredibles" on the big screen and I remember the score paid homage to several venues. The sequence when the jet soars towards the island had a very "James Bond" (60s era) vibe to it. I think he'll do something evocative of the original series without being any specific score note for note.

Sincerely,

Bill

The new trailer will have some music from his score in it.

 

[God Magnus]

If he worked on "Incredibles", then I have plenty of faith since I loved that soundtrack. I would like to hear new music but with the fanfare in there somewhere.

 

[Aragorn]

Maybe he can work in the Roddenberry lyrics to go with the Courage music.

He doesn't need the money any more.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

So when will the soundtrack be released on CD?

Yesterday would be cool.

Funny, I got the "overembelished" feeling from the fanfare for TMP/TNG. Don't care for it at all. No wonder to that. No heart swelling. But I haven't heard a version of Courage's opening that I don't like.

Those three opening notes are Star Trek. Those stark three notes, then the fanfare. Those have to be there. After that it can break into a waltz or a polka for all I care.

All I know for sure is when I hear those notes in the theater I'll tear up. Honestly, I know I will.

Seriously, when?

 

[OneBuckFilms]

I think he'll approach it like he did with M:I:III, using the main Fanfare, perhaps hinting at the original theme, and creating action music that will be vaguely reminiscent of the Original Series scores, but fitting in with the new take on the movie.

It may be that the End Credits will be treated like the James Bond theme in Casino Royale, where the theme is heard right at the end in full, but fragmented yet recognisable at appropriate moments throughout the movie.

Aren't that four notes?
