This is definitely a big enough title to warrant its own thread.

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.

Time = 72:44

World premiere release of complete Leonard Rosenman score to all-time classic fourth installment of legendary STAR TREK feature-film franchise, starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, directed by Nimoy. Intrada presentation is part of current ongoing CD restoration series of complete STAR TREK film soundtracks being overseen by Paramount, this one through courtesy of both Paramount, UMG. (Other titles appear on Film Score Monthly, La-La Land labels.) Time travel, whales feature in this particular movie, Rosenman draws inspiration from both in exciting score. Musical ideas are sometimes energetic, exciting, sometimes cerebral, complex. Rosenman even gives thematic attention to Chekov, a franchise rarity! Complete Intrada CD restoration offers full score with previously unreleased cues, versions appearing on 1986 MCA album plus several alternates including Rosenman's unused take on famous Alexander Courage TV theme. Fun to hear Rosenman's own signature brass "pyramid" at climax of Courage's melody! CD even includes wild "I Hate You" by Kirk Thatcher, Mark Mangini that annoys Star Trek crew on San Francsico bus ride. Production by Lukas Kendall, mix & assembly by Mike Matessino plus definitive liner notes by Jeff Bond round out stellar package, itself designed by Joe Sikoryak to comfortably fit in with other STAR TREK feature soundtrack restorations. Leonard Rosenman conducts.

The only thing that isn't clear on Intrada's website or forums - as far as I've seen - is exactly when it ships. Does anybody know?

[OneBuckFilms]

Late December. No specific date.

[Faleel]

Thats my only complaint.

[Charlie Brigden]

I may see if I can have a go at editing the prologue when this comes out. Always felt it worked well as an overture.

[Trent Bennett]

I messaged Roger on Facebook about shipping deal and he said the reason why there's no specific date is because they're still waiting to hear back from the pressing plant. Otherwise there would have been a set shipping date in said announcement.

Either way I'm really excited about this release. I never thought I would be able to hear the scores for Star Trek II through V in their complete form.

[Jason LeBlanc]

I may see if I can have a go at editing the prologue when this comes out. Always felt it worked well as an overture.

I'm truly surprised they didn't include their own edit as a bonus track, especially considering they had the room to include it

[Trent Hoyt]

I'm excited, its the only Trek movie score that I have never owned in any form.

[Trent Bennett]

When I listened to the samples, I really paid attention to the film version for "Logo / Main Titles". The old MCA disc had a really horrible edit between the two materials. This time though Matessino did a hell of a job at blending those two together properly. That was one thing that always bugged me about the old MCA disc was that jump in the two different pieces.

[Miles Prower]

I'm not getting it just yet. Since my dad doesn't live all that far from their retail store, I'm thinking about dropping by while I visit him for the holidays.

But otherwise, this is a damn nifty set here. Can't wait to own it.

[Faleel]

According to rumors, it will be "released" officially this later this week.....

[Datameister]

Meh, I'll pass. Something about this score always annoyed me. Doesn't sound like it belongs in the Star Trek universe.

[Faleel]

Doesn't sound like it belongs in the Star Trek universe.

Cue comparison to Trouble with Tribbles and I mudd.

[Datameister]

Fair enough. Then again, I never especially enjoyed the sillier side of TOS's scoring.

[E.T. & Elliott]

This movie didn't exactly take place in the Star Trek universe. It was more our world circa the 80s, with the Star Trek crew bumbling around. I feel the music fit like a glove.

[Wojo]

Is this the first Intrada soundtrack to contain an explicit lyric?

[Jason LeBlanc]

Probably

[bruckhorn]

Fuck if I know.

Not in a rush to get it. I'll combine with next Intrada order, whenever that is.

[Wojo]

I'm going to also wait and see if I want what FSM releases soon. I do want to get all three, the Rosenman, JG, and Barry.

[Trent Bennett]

Has there by chance been any update from Roger about when this will be shipping?

[Faleel]

Rumors have it, that this will be released later this week.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Trent, I was just on Intrada's messageboard looking for that information and they have posted NOTHING about it yet.

[Trent Bennett]

Trent, I was just on Intrada's messageboard looking for that information and they have posted NOTHING about it yet.

Okay thanks Jason.

Rumors have it, that this will be released later this week.

It's almost at the end of the week all ready..so I think those rumors were wrong.

[Jason LeBlanc]

I just posted a message on Intrada's board asking for an update

[Trent Bennett]

I noticed that "Crash / Whale Fugue" was longer for the time compared to the album version. Now grant the album version is listed as a bonus track but curious about that I emailed Mike Matessino regarding this cue. This is what he had to say on the matter.

Yeah, the cue was originally longer and strangely, even though they didn't use a lot of the "conversation" stuff in the film, they shortened the cue for the album in such a way that it still fit the film exactly.

[Faleel]

In the film there is an alternate (to my ears of course) to when the probe turns to leave, where it favors Rosenman's Trek theme to the Spock motif (where in the album its the other way around)

[OneBuckFilms]

Interesting about the Crash / Whale Fugue.

One piece of editing I might do for my HD would be to separate out the short cues into individual tracks, and place "I Hate You" into it's place in the score order (After the "San Francisco cue").

[Trent Bennett]

One piece of editing I might do for my HD would be to separate out the short cues into individual tracks, and place "I Hate You" into it's place in the score order (After the "San Francisco cue").

For my iPod I too will be separating the cues that were meant to be separated. I'll leave out "I Hate You" because I don't want it to disrupt the flow of the score.

[Wojo]

Intrada's front page says late December for Star Trek IV. I just checked there to nab an album cover to the last album I tagged.

I am going to leave the song as the last track on the album because by that point, the "score" has concluded. Putting it where it goes in the movie would be jarring.

Unless Leonard Nimoy stops by and nerve pinches my iPod.

[OneBuckFilms]

1/4/2012

[crocodile]

Completely missed this, for some reason.

What a treat!

Karol

[Faleel]

When did January 2012 become late December 2011?

[tharpdevenport]

Completely missed this, for some reason.

It was cloaked.

[crocodile]

No, that would be ST VI.

Karol

[Faleel]

Ahem, The Klingon ship was in IV Croc.

[tharpdevenport]

Klingon ship(s) in all the first ten films except 2, 9 and 10, as I recall.

[crocodile]

Well, yes. But there was another cloaked one in VI.

Karol

[Miles Prower]

Khan had Klingon ships in the Kobiyashi Maru scene. That counts, right?

[tharpdevenport]

Sort of -- even though it was a simulation senario, so yes.

[OneBuckFilms]

Battlecruiser (D7) was seen in TMP, Kobayashi Maru Simulation in Trek II (stock footage from TMP used on simulator view screen), and in VI. Cloaking was not established at that time (though it was for a ship from that era in TNG, so we know they could cloak).

Bird-of-Prey was introduced in III, and was subsequently seen in VI (experimental model that could fire when cloaked) and Generations (including stock footage from VI).
