Yeah, I felt the same. Considering Jeff Russo is composing the music, I would be very disappointed if this was his output, especially after his creative work for Legion.
The music on Star Trek Discovery
- Thread starter Scotty
- Start date
I'm thinking there was some editing done to move parts of the piece around so we don't hear it in sequence, but I'm thinking we're hearing a part or most of the opening theme as well!Listening to it more often now I'm actually more and more convinced this is the opening theme. Sounds very epic and heroic to me. I like it!
I'm thinking the same thing that this is part of it. I expect it will start with something that sound more like courage and then move into something like this and the ending part where the ship warps out with fit perfectly with the end of he opening.
That's where I'm going with it, too. I think it will start with the classic Courage fanfare, then go into what we're hearing here.
From the playing of the theme at the recent press conference, accounts of those who heard it say that the fanfare is in the theme. It seems to start with the fanfare, then has its own theme music, reminiscent of Giacchino's scores from the movies.
Sorry it took me so long to respond, I lost track of this thread.
I do like the big full sweeping orchestral scores, but adding in some pop music brings a nice bit of variety. I also tend to find that for me at least, the right pop song to go along with a scene can bring out even more emotion than just a score.
I was talking full on current pop music, with people like Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, Lady Gaga, ect. OK, not necessarily those exact people, but stuff along those lines.
No, I'm not talking about the characters listening to it, I meant as part of the background music.

I like that. I've heard some great songs this way, and been introduced to some artists I really like.
I would love to see them bring in some music from other countries, especially if it ties back to characters from that country.
There will be a full credits sequence. The main reason a lot of shows do that is to fit more story into the show's runtime, but with the shows on streaming services runtime isn't an issue so most of them have gone back to a full credits sequence.
Standard heard it a thousand times generic background music. I hope that's not the opening theme.
Star Trek!
Well TNG - TOS actually had some very nice (if oft used across a few episodes) background music and themes.
It's been a long time.
If it is the theme, I'm hoping that the main melody was cut out, because what's there completely lacks oomph.
