Aptly, named 'Flight' this beautiful piece goes pretty well with the title sequence but i could imagine it also going pretty well with a more voyager-esque title sequence.

I would in any case pick an original piece of music over something existing. Jeff Russo's theme has been a grower for me, and I already cannot imagine DSC without it.

I don't hate Discovery's theme, but what I would do is make an original orchestral piece that combines the theme of the original series with a new original orchestral for Discovery. No vocals. No country music. No weird moody Game Of Thrones stuff. Just mix a bit of the space hippy TOS with a new theme that is Discovery's.

just give us clips of Bill Hicks doing standup

Literally a song, a piece of music with singing and lyrics? No, thanks.

OTOH, if they wanted minimalism, they should have shelled out a little do-re-mi for Michael Nyman.

Well since the ship is a reject from the movie era, the clear choice for the theme song is the unused TNG theme.
