Comment on STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME – Leonard Rosenman by thegrizz70x7

Great review as always, Craig, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I have only heard this score once or twice on the original album, and in context in the film a few times, but am eager to check out the complete Intrada score. This certainly isn’t my favorite Star Trek score, probably at the bottom of the list. It certainly takes a very different musical approach from previous (and subsequent) films, and while I certainly like the more epic/operatic/darker scores, I think this music works in context of the film, which is certainly a lot lighter than the rest. Having now heard several of Rosenman’s other scores, which are often quite difficult, what bugs me most is how similar some of the pieces are to his other works, certain tracks sound like clones of his score for “LOTR” cartoon, for example. I want to give it another listen, and try to gain a little more appreciation for what Rosenman has done here.

Just heard the full score today and i’m utterly blown away by the sheer splendour of the score. Such a fantastic collection of musical scores, lush and incredibly moving, words fail me.. well done to all involved. And the Sword and scorcery pieces are just epic in scale.

Actually, the film was a suprirse hit, grossing 150M$ on a 40M$ budget, and remaining in a nationwide combination of screens for 9 weeks in a row in the US.
Sorry for the unnecessary and potentially annoying nit-picking, but I couldn’t help noticing how erroneous the affirmation “it disappeared from multiplexes quite quickly” is.

You should review the 1990 CBS Records issue with 19 tracks.

I love this film – Claire Danes is fauulobs as the star, she’s got such a vulnerability about her, it’s beautiful!

My fvoarite character is Hermione. She’s clever and loyal and the boys would be lost without her.

I stopped reading as soon as you advised me to “stop the analyse”. This is a site which exists in order to analyze and critique and celebrate film music. If you don’t want analysys, why are you here?
