A two-CD set of Cliff Eidelman<\/strong>‘s Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country<\/em> score has been released by Intrada.<\/p>\n Disc one includes: “the complete score along with alternates and two versions of the original trailer music,” and the second disc includes: “Eidelman\u2019s album program of Star Trek VI<\/em>, cloned from a digital source. Eidelman recorded his score with an 86-piece orchestra at the 20th Century Fox Scoring Stage.”<\/p>\n “From its opening bars, Cliff Eidelman\u2019s music for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country<\/em> exhibits marked differences from previous Star Trek<\/em> scores, known for their emphasis on the romantic voyage of the Enterprise and the heroism of its crew. The focus in this score is on darker music used more sparingly for the films\u2019 antagonists. The Klingon music not only pervades the score\u2014in a sense, it is the score\u2014but characterizes the alien race quite differently than in previous films.<\/p>\n “In the opening cue\u2014deliberately titled “Overture<\/em>” as opposed to “Main Title<\/em>” \u2014 the composer intended the rising-and-falling figure for cellos and double basses that opens the film\u2014inspired by The Firebird\u2014as the theme for another \u201cbird,\u201d the Klingon bird-of-prey. \u201cThat was there to help us feel the effects of something we can\u2019t see, and in this film it really had to do with the Klingon ship that was cloaked,\u201d Eidelman recalls. \u201cIt had to do with the fact that it\u2019s mysterious, it\u2019s dangerous and we can\u2019t see it, and that theme kind of represented that.” Later, Eidelman employs a sepulchral men\u2019s chorus, a color absent from any previous Star Trek<\/em> music. Ultimately, Eidelman establishes a mood in which chaos and havoc appear poised to triumph while heroism and valor struggle to be heard over the forces of darkness.”<\/p>\n Some music from the set, priced at $24.99, can be heard here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A two-CD set of Cliff Eidelman‘s Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country score has been…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2443],"tags":[3359,4132,3889],"class_list":["post-15484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-merchandise","tag-cd","tag-eidelman","tag-star-trek-vi-the-undiscovered-country"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T'Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"Merchandise<\/a>","tag_info":"Merchandise","comment_count":"5","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15484"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15493,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15484\/revisions\/15493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
