DESCRIPTION:
In honour of Star Trek's 50th birthday this year, as well as the release of Star Trek Beyond and announcement of Star Trek: Discovery, I have put together a piano arrangement of the very best music the franchise has given us over the past half-century - (as if my Star Wars piano medley wasn't long and complicated enough). Sprawling over the films, the series, and the animated show, these beautiful pieces from numerous legendary composers can be enjoyed all in one place, as we walk through the evolution of Trek lore and film scores alike. Thank you for joining me on this voyage, and I hope you enjoy this little project of mine. Live long and prosper!
