I forgot to add how much I enjoyed this segment, David. Yours and Dan Monroe’s channel are two of my favorites for science fiction nostalgia! It was fun being re-introduced to the term diegetic music, something I learned first years ago in Royal S. Brown’s superb book on film music theory “Overtones and Undertones”. Curiously there is one instance I can think of where a piece of music can be imagined to be simultaneously diegetic and non-diegetic, and that occurs in “Who Mourns For Adonis?” in the scene featuring Captain Kirk and Lt. Palamas when he explains “where our duty lies”. She states “He’s calling me…” (referring to Apollo) and the horns sound like Fred Steiner’s underscore-but it also appears to be source music (!)
Absolutely fascinating. The backgrounds of the Star Trek music you reveal to us never ceases to amaze me. I was hoping you were going to include the piano music we heard in Spectre of the Gun. It was heard when the crew first enter the saloon and meet Morgan Earp. It was a bouncy piece, but it had an eerie melody to it.
Interesting that you brought that up because I mentioned Jerry Fielding’s atmospheric score in another of David’s videos. What struck me especially about the somewhat atonal piano melody is how when the Enterprise crew enters the saloon is how it ends in a characteristic “cliff hanger” climax, similar to silent film era serials.
@@davidpage9355 Can't wait! So many great cuts. The romantic melody between Chekov and Sylvia, which veers from major to minor as Chekov struggles to explain why they can't be together... the simple harmonica "Tombstone" theme (how often does a Star Trek score use just one instrument?)... and that long, tension-building riff as the Earps approach. One of my all-time favorite Trek scores. So glad you're bringing your expert ear to this.
9:25 That original song Ms. Nichols sings sound a lot like "Follow Me" from Camelot, when Merlin is being lured away by the lady of the lake ... the production with Burton. Andrew's, and Goulet. But maybe I'm wrong on that.
Loving your presentation again! The opening with the female narration really threw me -- thought I had the wrong channel. Great how you're always keeping us on our toes! Have you considered -- or even heard? -- reviewing the scores to Star Trek Continues? They are sometimes original scores based on the original ones. The 2-part finale incorporates Trek music from all across the series including the movies -- great stuff!
Whichever misguided soul called Nichelle Nichols’ beautiful rendition of Beyond Antares “cringeworthy” deserves to have to listen to those kids sing “Ring Around the Rosie” until the twenty-third century. At least.
Excellent. The music makes me long for more original Trek.
Bruce Hyde performed “Kathleen” before an audience at a 1976 Star Trek convention I attended, playing his guitar.
Another brilliant analysis, David. Congrats, with a smile.
Thank you so much for honoring these amazing musicians who I never knew... Another enjoyable video.
Really enjoy these Videos. Thanks David for all your hard work, and for sharing.
Thanks for watching my friend!

Thank you, David, for another great trip through the Trek musicscape! I was stoked to see it become available 😎🎼🖖
Once again, you have added greatly to the sum of Trek knowledge. Kirk Forever!!!

One of my favorite moments in one of my all-time favorite scores. It goes perfectly with the weirdness of the saloon set-familiar, but not.
Fielding just nails that moment! That's on my list next. Hopefully in less than a few months 😐

Another fine enjoyable segment.
Just set my phasor on, "stunned."
Beyond Antares is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music inside and outside of the Star Trek canon!
Napier showed up on a lot of Glen Larson productions, too
Excellent work sir. Thank you.
Very interesting
Love your channel and your videos, Please keep them coming!!!
Thanks! I love doing them so more coming. I just had to step away for a time working on another project. Will be back soon 🖖

Good call - I do need to look at that follow-up series .. and make this a true "five-year mission"!
