Star Trek the Original Series - the Music (Part IV)

Our final look at the music of Star Trek puts us in the position of the show's music editors and composers. With so many classic episodes to get through, how did they stretch their music budget to cover an entire season? The music of Sol Kaplan, Joseph Mullendore, Gerald Fried and Fred Steiner is examined, and we also look at a series of clever music edits for tracked scores. Learn more about your ad choices.

An absolute DELIGHT

As someone who is obsessed with film scores, this podcast is the perfect blend of history, fun facts, and musical education behind some of the most iconic movies/games in history of pop culture! I know these episodes must take lots of research and planning, which is what makes them even more special! Hope to hear some new episodes soon (as I’ve definitely listened to all of them at least twice by now)!
Perfect Pitch!

I discovered this show years after it was done so was happy to binge. If you are a fan of film music, this is absolutely the best resource out there. All of the iconic scores not only by John Williams but everyone else as well. You also get a lot of history and music lessons in there along the way. Pick your favorite film score and listen to the show — you’ll end up listening to them all!
Wonderful Work!

David Collins work on the Star Trek music episodes is wonderfully done. I’ve been listening to his third episode, where he starts with Star Wars, as well as later Star Wars episodes. They also very very good. However, I have yet to hear him say anything about the source of a lot of John Williams‘s music for Star Wars. Like Eric Korngold’s “Kings Row” overture for Luke’s theme, i.e., the Star Wars fanfare. There are other sources too, of course, like Chopin’s Piano Sonata No. 2 Funeral March for Darth Vader’s March.

This is an incredible podcast. Unfortunately for fans, the podcaster seems to have stopped doing it. But, certainly listen to the content he has provided thus far. It’s well worth it and, as a musician, myself, this is easily my favorite podcast. And, David, you’ve certainly left us wanting more. :)
