There’s a new release sure to perk up the ears of any musically-inclined Star Trek fan, celebrating the legendary soundtrack of the first franchise film: the complete printed score to Jerry Goldsmith’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture music!
Announced this week by Omni Music Publication, a massive 473-page publication collects every single measure of Goldsmith’s Motion Picture score, from the opening overture through the film’s closing credits — even musical moments written but never recorded for the movie — the first time any such printed work has been released for a Star Trek production.
Here it is, one of the holy grails of film music: the complete score to Jerry Goldsmith’s classic “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” Every note of every cue is included. Every cue Goldsmith wrote is here, whether it was used or not, whether it was recorded or not.
This is one release you won’t want to miss. No other score in Goldsmith’s oeuvre comes close, It represents his modernism and romanticism side by side. This classic score has it all: adventure romance, and otherworldly suspense.
This is how you score the start of a franchise!
Musicians alike will delight in the endless textural invention, for Goldsmith had an unerring command of orchestration; every one of the 473 pages of orchestration reveal a mind that was able to create engaging music that perfectly suits the film.
Omni has also released three preview pages for the orchestral score, from the opening “Love Theme” overture, the “V’Ger Flyover” midpoint of the film, and the closing “End Credits” music, with individual musical direction for dozens of different instruments.
If you’re looking to score a copy of this, um, score, you can head over to Omni Music Publishing’s site now where the massive release is available now for $85.00.
