This is simply breath-taking! Every time I listen to this one I get goosebumps upon goosebumps! Didn't know a Star Trek tune could sound so romantic & beautiful... it's gonna be candlelight and a Star Trek movie tonight.... smiles!
J'entendais une chanson a la radio et je ne suis dit: mais qu'est devenu Peter Pringle "icône" des années 70-80 (jsuis née en 1972 lolll). Et je suis tombé sur le theremin... Je ne connaissais pas et je suis charmé par cet instrument ma foi... Spécial!
purely beautifully played and a beautiful piece of music whether you like star trek or not, the guy that wrote it should probably be very proud of the way Peter Pringle plays this lovely piece of music on the theremin
Since finding this I have listened to it everyday, and am constantly whistling this theme now. Also, I think I'm going to be forced to buy a theremin. Thank you for making this.
Choice of the background made it even better, the Theremin receives way to much negative when in fact it is one of the better instruments that sends shivers down my spine...
Peter, I love the playing - but watching your tender facial expressions is really touching... You obviously love what you are doing - and in return, the music caresses our ears...
It sounds beautiful on headphones. This must have taken a LOT of practice to pull off with that device!!! The Hubble image in the background is a nice touch BTW.
@robshimer - what you see is all there is: he's playing an electrical field. Wikipedia has a splendid article on the history of the theramin, and the spoignant story of its creator.
Excellent job! Yes, that is one of my most favorite episodes! Powerfully emotional.
In a later episode they brought back that tune. Picard has a love intrest and they go into some of the ships conduits to play music and they jam on this tune a bit. The episode is called 'Lessons' I think. Do a search on "star trek TNG Jornada"
