The initial statement of the enterprise theme is one of the most gorgeous versions of it in the entire franchise. Almost like he wrote it as if he were greeting an old dear friend. Battle stations is so fantastic as well. The two times he slips in the enterprise theme really get ya going , and then he’s got this star trek meets Air Force One vibe happening that I really love. There’s also something so gut wrenching about how quiet and tender, yet absolutely tense and anxious it is. It would have been easy to overscore data’s death. Same applies to the following cues. It’s a quiet sadness. They’re still trying to process the loss, amid a lot of changes. Riker’s farewell also benefits from this subtlety.

Terrific score. Many thanks.
You’re welcome!
Battle Stations is absolutely amazing.
YES! I remember this scene quite well. Good to have the soundtrack here...
