Hearing it played by a full orchestra, with Mr. Nimoy sitting right there, I started crying. Admittedly, I'm usually a sap, but this took me by surprise. I've heard the Star Trek theme HOW many hundreds of times? But hearing it played by a full orchestra (and with Leonard Nimoy sitting 25 feet away), I was gone by the time they played those first four notes.<br /><br />Mr. Nimoy was adorably playful with the conductor, and he looked surprisingly healthy. Those airport photos of Mr. Nimoy in a wheelchair with an oxygen tube alarmed all of us, but he didn't cough or clear his throat at all, and he walked on and off the stage at a pace that I hope *I* can move at when I'm 83, so his COPD didn't seem to be bothering him much. <br /><br />Mr. Nimoy read some prepared text before each piece of music, and he's still got it! There were some funny lines, some moving lines, and some informative lines, and Mr. Nimoy did them all beautifully. There were some lines that seemed as if they were far too long for a normal person to say in one breath, but a trained actor who's played the Enterprise's Science Officer laughs at info dump lines. :-)<br />Coryleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961220703672521166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739267574084387275.post-56326853050517031252014-04-28T15:01:26.831-07:002014-04-28T15:01:26.831-07:00Thanks for the interesting post, and best of luck ...Thanks for the interesting post, and best of luck with the move!<br />Coryleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961220703672521166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739267574084387275.post-64158531188613186072014-04-27T15:07:43.042-07:002014-04-27T15:07:43.042-07:00Absolutely.

Those library cues may actually be some of Courage's most memorable music for the series.<br /><br />It occurs to me now that I didn't thank several TrekBBS posters who answered my questions and offered tidbits of information while I was writing this post: bbailey861, BeatleJWOL, Daddy Todd, M, and M'Sharak. Everyone's input was much appreciated on this one.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552147805234543255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739267574084387275.post-84381787502292553352014-04-27T14:31:02.432-07:002014-04-27T14:31:02.432-07:00And of course Courage conducted the recording of t...And of course Courage conducted the recording of the theme for season 2 and composed quite a bit of library music for that season.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626263939160335192noreply@blogger.com
