It was always interesting to see David Bell's scores evolve as the series progressed - they got darker as the storylines got darker. It made everything so atmospheric. For me, Bell was the best score writer for star trek, closely followed by McCarthy. I never really got excited by Chattaway's themes.
Always loved Bell's music. More than the other Star Trek TV-Composers, he concentrated on rythm, brass, low strings, dissonance... creating a dark, brooding atmosphere, very Howard Shore-like. Just watch the final scene of the episode "The Thaw". I got shivers. But when he did action, all hell broke loose and he channeled Gustav Holst. I wonder what became of him. He stopped writing music for Trek during Enterprises' second season and hasn't written anything since. As far as the other Composers went, I also loved Ron Jones and Paul Baillargeon. And, of course, Dennis McCarthy. Jay Chattaway, on the other hand... okay, he had his moments ('The inner Light') and he did get better over time, but compared to even McCarthy, his music was generally duller and far less dynamic.
Chattaway's best work is on Enterprise, for the most part. He ended up writing the best action scores out of all of them once the Berman shackles were removed.
Priot to Worf taking on Gowron, Ezri Dax spoke a thunderous remark about Worf being most honorable but yet willing to accept moral corruption in the Klingon Empire. I felt is was one of the most powerful Star Trek messages uttered, excellently written and equally excellent in delivery by Ezri. "If an unparalleled honorable man such as you are willing to accept corruption, what hope is there for the Empire?" [I paraphrase] That is a universal theme an observation that all sentient beings have to be confronted with. It shook Worf to his core and forced him to challenge Gowron in mortal combat.
@@CaptWirg What I have done was for the Empire. A new day must dawn for our people. I am not the man to usher in that day. But there is a man here who can.
3:05 Last season or so pretty much always accompanied the transitions to Cardassia Prime as well as the transition shots of the Breen ships during the secret negotiations.
They're not "reused" tracks. The composer for those episodes is the same. He's developed various theme's and motifs, and this is one of the action motifs, so it shows up in the borg battles, klingon, hirogen, dominion, cardassian, breen, but it's always composed to fit the scene, not just cut and paste. The Dark Frontier version from Voyager is considerably more aggressive and interesting.
Worth noting: the uplifting melody at 2:48 is also found in "Neelix Goodbye" by the same composer. You can hear it around the 23-second mark in this clip of the song. johndadlez.com/MP3/StarTrekVoyagerVol2/3-24NeelixGoodbye.mp3
Wait, hear me... HEAR ME!! What I have done, was for the Empire. A new day must dawn for our people. I am not the man to usher in that day, but there is a man here who can. Kahless said great men do not seek power, they have power thrust upon them. Hail Martok, leader of the Empire, leader of destiny.
haha you're right as someone who watched DS9 most of the choices the characters make are not exactly the best idea, so it's actually a really fitting title

BRILLIANT! One of favourite pieces from Star Trek...been hunting this down for years! Thanks for the upload!
I love David Bell's style in DS9 and Voyager

I admire how much attention you pay to Star Trek TV soundtracks. I still think that Ron Jones takes the cake.

Man, I love Bell's work. While I always enjoy new work from the various composers, I liked how he always had a new spin on his tried-and-true motifs.

David Bell is my favorite episode composer hands down.
I'm pretty sure they've reused this track on Voyager a few times. And I think some of them involved Klingon stuff.
Michael Loftus they did in the VOY episode child's play when the sphere tractors voyager
Or the brief dogfight from "Imperfection."
they reused a lot of DS9 tracks
I'm pretty sure it was reused in "Barge of the Dead".

You have dishonored yourself, and the Empire, and you are not worthy to lead the Council.
There can be only one answer to _That!...._

That disruptor blast had a Klingon signature (whoops wrong show)
I will meet this CHIEF... engineer.
"your ship is no match for mine."
Im sure a similar theme was used in ENT Fallen Hero during the part where there were three Mazurite Ships chasing Enterprise
he had a longer version of that piece in 'Prophecy'. Does anyone have?
2:00 Klingons: Worf! Worf! Worf! Worf!
Dat face dough.
Face dough? Mmm...
He probably even sleeps with his eyes open that wide
Okay, what the fuck is with Gowron's eyes?
It's klingon battle stare.
As someone who does sailing tacking into the wind is not exactly the best idea
