Announces:



STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME
Music Composed and Conducted by LEONARD ROSENMAN
INTRADA Special Collection MAF 7114

Intrada ends 2011 with one last major release - the complete Leonard Rosenman score to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The second film in the series under the helm of director Leonard Nimoy, Nimoy choose a lighter approach to this outing and injected liberal amounts of well-placed humor. For this fourth entry, Nimoy introduced another element he had wanted to bring on board earlier in the series: the music of Leonard Rosenman. Rosenman's Star Trek IV music bears the hallmarks of the composer’s distinctive style: vaulting brass figures, complex textural passages, thumping suspense motives. The main theme—and also Kirk’s theme—is upbeat, heraldic and heroic, its optimistic flavor cutting a different path than the other scores in the series.

For this release, Intrada worked from the original session masters housed at Paramount, reassembling the complete score in film order. This presentation also includes numerous bonus tracks, including alternates and the song "I Hate You." A stand-out is an alternate version of the "Main Title." Rosenman created this stately arrangement of Alexander Courage’s classic Star Trek theme to accompany the first part of the opening credits, which appear against a background of deep space.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) became one of the most popular and enthusiastically reviewed films to feature the original cast and the first to play primarily as a comedy. The film ties up the loose ends from The Search for Spock: Spock reunites with Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Dr. Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley) and his friends from the now-destroyed U.S.S. Enterprise. Star Trek IV provides an adventure that restores Spock to his role as a sage science officer while rehabilitating the reputation of Kirk and his crew in the eyes of the Federation as they save earth -- again -- from certain destruction.

Well that is just nifty. Matches the Trek II/III look to boot!

ORDERED.

Wonderful, thank you for releasing this!

Love both covers and yes, so ordered (nice touch too, to mention the other labels releasing the Trek CD's)

Thanks so much Roger, Doug and the folks @ Intrada.
Ordered!!!!!

Quick thoughts:

The "Market Street" film version sounds like not just a different mix, but a different performance, but I don't see it on this tracklist.


"Checov's Run" (album ending)

Confuses me. I had the MCA CD and the VHS of the film -- both endings are the same.

THE PRISONER

The ending's a little shorter in the film. I thought it was an edit, but apparently it's an alternate version. Wowzer.

I have a question though - it sounds like the European prologue music was tracked, could you guys tell us where the first minute-ish came from? Everything afterwards is from The Whaler, Time Travel and Home Again if I remember correctly.

Ordered! (Along with The Core.)

Ordered THE SAND PEBBLES, plan on ordering this too, Intrada you're bleeding me dry.

Roger, I may be mistaken, but didn't Rosenman get an Oscar nomination for this score? I know Goldsmith did for THE MOTION PICTURE.

Assuming all the laternates that comprise the prologue are there, some enterprising fan will probably make the edit for us all.


Just curious though:

Intrada has before released tracks which are edits of cues used, like on "Capricorn One" -- why not have done the same here? If we're going to get that vile little curse song, why not this?

THE PRISONER

I will be ordering once I figure out whether I'm pairing it with The Core or IT; I want to do all three but the missus might cripple me for that.

I'm a huge TREK fan. This year is the 25th anniversary of TREK IV, and THE NEXT GENERATION premiered a year later. I like the original crew the most, but like all the other versions of TREK too. Thanks for this release Intrada.

What a fantastic release to close out an already STELLAR year! I'll be ordering this along with Jingle All the Way.

Thanks for all the wonderful release (which included 2 grails of mine) you brought to us this year. Can't wait until next year!

Happy Holidays Team Intrada
