Star Trek: First Contact & The Next Generation - piano

[MrJDW123]

what are the chords 

[chiriguani]

excellent!!!

[SneakyFckinRussian]

amazing, fantastic, quite simply brilliant!

[oldsmobile98boy]

wow! that is my favorite star trek theme. its done so beautifuly

[setvenharis]

That was superb! 

[chonny1987]

transcribed sheet music?

[falingsnow]

Beautiful, well done

[eepruls]

My goodness. You played this brilliantly. Fantastic!

[pepperVenge]

That was beautiful! i had to watch it twice!

[jayce79]

Terriffic. Great Upload. Big Thumb's up here. 

[turelyons]

I think Jerry would have liked it :) great touch and feeling.

I think this is one of the greater pieces ever written by Jerry. It says everything about Star Trek up to that point. I don´t know of anyone else that could transform emotions to music in the way Jerry Goldsmith could.

[Bellston]

This camera just couldn't capture the awesomeness.. loved it!!

[ashwinvajitok]

I really hope that you are going to make another video with the keys visible. Eagerly waiting!!!!! You play beautifully..

[goldenthoth]

nice!

[jaydavies1984]

absolutely stunning, the first contact theme almost brought me to tears! Im looking forward to hearing the higher quality version soon as this one is a little crackly on my speakers <and thats not a criticism i still loved it :D thank you very much

[ashwinvajitok]

That's no problem. Even if you play it differently, I'm sure it will sound good. I just want to get a look at the notes your fingers are hitting :)

[ashwinvajitok]

Arlondia... Please make a video where the keys that your fingers are hitting are visible!!! I really wanna learn this piece.

[Arlondia]

@ashwinvajitok

Maybe I will. But if so, I don't how how it will look like. Every time I play it differently (as there is no sheet), especially in parts where I play up and down quickly (from 1:40)

[ashwinvajitok]

Yes, a video with the camera showing your fingers would be absolutely awesome. Pleeeez do it if you can spare the time. This piece is just awesome. Everyone would love to be able to play it. Thank You VERY Much!!!

[ashwinvajitok]

PlleeeeeeeZZZZZZZZZZZ make a tutorial for this. I cant figure it out by ear... PLEEEEEEEZZZZZZZ!!

[Arlondia]

@ashwinvajitok

If you mean re-record it with camera pointed to my hands, no problem. Writing a score would be too difficult (melody with chords is easy, full score would be too much time consuming and moreover, I play it differently each time :))

[L6OWY]

This is played so perfect. Are you going to upload one with better quality audio because it would sound awesome. Thanks.

[Arlondia]

@L6OWY

Yes, I'm planning it soon. I promised it here many times, but I promise that I will fullfill my promise soon :) One or two weeks, no longer. And I will make more videos - Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Carribean and maybe Avatar or Spirit (Stallion of Cimmaron, if I remember that name right)

[phantom70815]

Great job! You are very talented

[onelife271]

awesome video.one of the best version on you tube.

you are talented.

[so154jg]

its been a very long time since i herd u play this lol like 2 years ago when i first made a you tube name lol

[SilverDoe6]

I wish I could play like that. Loved it.

[Radiozo]

Very nice work!

[zeldafan18657]

I agree with onelife you did a teriffic job on this. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[onelife271]

your version of star trek first contact is awesome.best version i see on you tube.

i hope one day i will play your arrangement on piano.i like so much that song.

[BlacklockTV]

amazing, from one pianist to another

[Mymloch]

absolutely wonderful

thank you

[musicmanWP]

[qwochito]

That was amazing.. Can you do a tuturial.. or tape you playing from above please :)

[besterommel]

I love this song!!! you are the best...

[ALHAREZ]

wooohooo very nice girl very nice ! ^^

[5thVA]

Excellent job. The way y'all play brings a tear to me eye.

[alan0610]

It's also my favourite movie music. You rock man!! I wish I can play that too~

[Arlondia]

I'm not a man :-) But thanks ;)

[theschmidtjulian]

very very good work!! you rock!!!!!!!!!!

[frostymoviesjp]

haahha thAT ROCKED !!!

[ensignjoe]

Ohhh I loved that intro theme so much, you did it perfectly

[ashofborg]

BRAVOOOO BRAVOOO love it

[StoRmF5]

Whoaa! just had a chill run down my back listening to this, nice work!

[kf932009]

This Is Really Beautiful Song And The Person Playing It Is Really Good

[adelaide925]

can you put the notes in your info or do a how to?

because i can't find anyothers

[Arlondia]

I'm sorry, I don't have any notes or score sheet. I play just by ears and I'm not able to find a time to rewrite it at least in melody and chords. Maybe when I finish school.... But at the moment, I cannot offer you anything.

[MusicandMore2009]

Amazing, your playing is just great !!!!

Live long and prosper ;)

[Tiberiusduck]

BRAVO!!! VERY NICE INDEED!!!

[carlozofjuan]

Completely amazing!

[cassiebrite]

Gorgeous rendition. And utterly from memory, that is just stunning. I think you should write an arrangement.

[danasus]

Please make a tutorial!

[Metzgermaker]

very nice, the best TNG film

[kf932009]

This Is The Best Star Trek Theme Ever

[Desperado1989]

that´s fucking good maan ;-)

[polarissucks]

Amazing Job, very good! I'm very jealous of you

[vvv11ilbis]

Hey lady, you have beautiful hands. ;D

[StarshipMaxima]

So that was so freakin' beautiful. No, that's not sarcasm, I was about to go the next video, but this was simply too beautiful not to listen to.

And no offense, but it sounds so gorgeous with crappy sound...imagine what it would sound like with a quality recording.

[donais18]

if possible can you do the voyager theme

[xMysticMothx]

OMG...so beautiful.

[Agalois]

Not bad. I like everything, but I love the part between 0:30 and 1:30. Gets me every time...

[olentangy74]

Very nice! My only complaint is how the microphones you used were maxed out and causes some bad vibarations and buzz. oter than that, bravo!

[mees462]

I didnt heared a star trek on piano EVER!

[Ingo64]

Very well done, my compliments! Do you have the written score? I'd like to get it, as well.

[Arlondia]

No, I'm sorry, everything played by me is always played by ears. I do can read notes and I also write scores but film music I prefer to play by myself as the scores written for piano are usually low-quality. Thanks for your compliment.

[Ingo64]

Právě jsem viděl, že jsi Češka, takže můžeme i česky. Máš teda velice dobrý hudební sluch. Smeknout! Sredčný pozdrav z Liberce!

[Arlondia]

Mě ani nenapadlo kontrolovat Tvou / Vaší státní příslušnost - pobavila jsem se :) Pozdravy opětuji z Prahy!

[Ingo64]

"Tvou", čili tykání, je úplně v pořádku. Zdraví

INGO.

[NumeriusPlancusIII]

Wonderful!

[TubeOfYouZog2]

You made me cry, damnit! ;) Beautiful.

[Arlondia]

No, there is no sheet music as I do not play with notes. Whatever I play, it stems from my head through my fingers. I'm able to write simple notes as a melody and chords but that's all. Writing whole score (piano or orchestral version) is too difficult, I have no time for making it.

[trainboy07]

One of my favorite pieces from Jerry Goldsmith, A very awsome composer. RIP jerry

[Starfleet0]

wtf?!? jerry goldsmith is dead?!?????

[WerdnaFaz]

wow

[kingterr0r1]

you play this song lovely, i wish i could play this song as beautiful as you can.

[mrgrant888]

I miss Jerry Goldsmith. This was probably my favorite Star Trek theme from him. His music had a way of taking you off the ground and into the stars.

[CruisinX]

I've got my eyes wet, while I listened to it. Impressive, really.

[DoomTay]

Me too. :P

[DoomTay]

Me too. :P

[DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3]

Wow! This was amazing. I hope you do get around to recording that better quality one mentioned in the description! Only thing wrong was the gain on the mic was too high and the sound was over driven. Other than that this is an amazing piece that is obviously very difficult to play and you did it very well.

[dkstojentin]

I have never been a Star Trek fan, persay. I just can't figure out why this theme song is making me cry? I wish I knew. I really wish I knew what was wrong with me. Because I can't figure it out at all.

[Arlondia]

Believe me, I've never even know that Star Trek are also films, I had known only about series. This song I was "forced" to learn forced me to watch the film as I found it impressive. There is nothing wrong with you. The song is just so strong...

[dkstojentin]

It's also a great testament to the skill of the person who is playing it!

[Arlondia]

Such a compliment... :) Thanks! But as I've said before, I'm not quite content with this video, I play it too quick, unconcentrated and therefore, full of mistakes. And maybe for a year I keep promising recordin new one... still not able to do it :(

[hinahanta]

When I hear this music, it forces me to remember the past, things I wish I could change, but never will be able to...

[DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3]

Which is amazing because the particular movie that this was on was about going back in time and stopping events from happening.

[S1G2b3]

Amazing, i love Star Trek and love the piano cover

[lucius422]

Moc pekny :) Musis mi to na FFS letos zahrat :)

Reaver.man

[Videogameland]

the movie was EPIC! Nah the entire series is EPIC!

[EcLipsE1982Fat]

You are AMAZING!!! I wish I had the talent in your little pinky! :D

[Flinsbon]

OK, I'm jealous. Your awesome! I love that song. Very often, I watch First Contact just to hear that song. Were like 2 chords off? Just wondering because I watch Star Trek TOO much, so I constantly hear the song. Maybe they weren't and it was just the sound. Anyway, well done again!

[Arlondia]

Hi, thanks for nice comment! Before I was asked to learn this song for the Festival of fantasy I didn't even know about ST films :) So learning of this song was quick and definitely not perfect. As I've written before, I'm planning to rerecord it. Hope this time it will be better, slower and with no mistakes

[Flinsbon]

I look forward to it! :)

[SexyZaftig]

Hi, your playing is awesome!

I would be so happy to be able to play as great as you. As there are no sheets for it, could you please, please make some?

Or if you can't it would be so nice of you if you could do another video from above and playing it very slowly so I can make some sheets for the rest of us.

Thank you so much!

[Arlondia]

Hi,

I'm able to make a sheet, however, it's really time-consuming. I cannot promise you anything but I can swear I will try to do a video you ask for so you can do that sheet yourself. That would be profitable for me as well :-)

[MJ0428]

I think the First Contact star trek theme should always be the official Star Trek Theme

[Richiepookinshoo]

I absolutely love it

[wizard7070]

The best re-creation on youtube, shear talent you have

[CircaRigeI]

Great job! Very nicely done!

[Sortilegio1000]

!!!!!C'est bien votre style pour jouez au piano, et la melodie est magnifique!!!!! Bon continuation

[quizzledorf]

I love it. my favorite star trek theme.

[wanchope6700]

This is a wonderful rendition. It conveys everything integral to the Star Trek vision of humanity. It insists that we can be better; that we can grow; that the world will one day be free from the bonds of money and economic want; that we are capable of a wordless beauty and that the only way we can ever move forward is if we join hands.

It's a love song to progress, and expounds a warm, humanistic view of our potential.

Your version was superb. X

[Arlondia]

Great comment. Full of wise ideas. Thank for posting!

[wanchope6700]

You are very welcome, Arlondia. You have a wonderful talent. From what I can see from the video, you look very pretty too!

[Arlondia]

:) Thanks

[abunaideka009]

I always thought this was a really good song. Well done!

[jackiechan511]

I think star trek TNG theme is much better.

[stevecurwin]

where did you learn to play that song are the lyrics and song ntoes for it

[Arlondia]

No, I play just by my ears.

[WingTsunBoy1988]

very very good, biggest respect

[captainpicard321]

right on!

so good it made me tear up...

[mees462]

Very good.

i improvfised just tng myself.

I never can do this! Good job!

[MMSRB]

From bassist to pianist: Absolutely fantastically! My biggest respect for this achievement! tactful greetings!

[jrglink]

Keep up the good work. Can't wait for you follow up!

[adelina2012]

good work! but u did some mistaces =P

[Arlondia]

Of course I know it. It's the reason why I'm going to make new version. This was recorded exactly after I made it. But every piece need its time... Do't be afraid, soon I will add the new one as well as my other pieces (like SW, Pirates, Black Beauty etc.)

[74205Defiant]

can i have the sheet music

[Arlondia]

Look on my answer for Chablebear two comments down. I have no sheet.

[Chablebear]

Nice! What chords are you usung for the federation fanfare at the start? I can play the rest of it but not that bit

[Arlondia]

I have no sheet, but if I'm not wrong, it is D, A, F#, C#, Bm (Bbm in US notation, whole world has normal H and B, only Americans must have it else...) and F as the final accord. As far as I can say, the very start is the easiest part of the song, everything else is much harder to listen and repeat on the piano, especially the TNG part (a spend quite a long time to listen it up...)

[vjanik]

Very nice... though I was sad to see that you didn't really 'push it' in the big finale of the piece. The beautiful thing about the first contact theme is how it builds towards the climax... stil very good... skvely, jen tak dal :-)

[CafeNaturas]

I really like much your interpretation of this piece. I consider this movie the best one of all those of the new generation and your you execute the music with great skill and grace. My congratulations and continuous.( pd: sorry for my englih)

[RonG40]

I always knew this would be a great solo piano piece and you've confirmed it. Well done and thanks..

[jayaremilan]

beautiful

[bachip17]

Zdarec Arlondie, jej... Moc pekne, uklidnujici...

"How nice to see you..."

Jak ty to vubec delas???

(Asi mas ted zmatek..- nejspis mne znas jako Bl@ckMaster nebo jako Aurel)

[Arlondia]

Koukám, že ty jsi taky všude... :-)

[bachip17]

Si pis... :-)

Taky mam svoje videa... Planuju dalsi, ale tenhle StarTrek je proste BOZIII!!! :-D

[kh1290]

so beautiful, thanks for this.

[pmb600]

beautiful, the best star trek song ever--very beautiful.

[tripgrip]

You play very well, wish I could play like you do. Please keep up with the good work, we more beautiful music in the world.

One suggestion, you might want to take your camera off the "auto focus" mode, it sometimes is distracting. :)

[Arlondia]

The camera I used to record this video is older than me, I think. This is the reason I still haven't uploaded more videos. But now I've bought new one so when my exam time is over, I will work on videos again. Thanks for the comment!

[bob280784]

A beautiful performance - well done. Didn't feel like it lacked anything compared to the orchestral version. I worked out a really basic version of it when I first started piano last year - is there any chance you could post a new version with a higher quality camera, so that I might be able to work it out again? Thanks!

[Arlondia]

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I'm planning to record the new version for a few month. Unfortunately, I didn't have neither better camera nor time for recording. When my exam time is over, I will do it (in two or three weeks, no more).

[tubernery]

my favorite star trek theme song, thanks for sharing.

[mees462]

very good

[THEFINALHAZARD]

Can you make a tutorial video for at least TNG?

[Arlondia]

What do you mean, "tutorial"? Do you mean how I play it? I must let you down, I play it differently each time. I do not learn notes, although I can write them in the simple form. I learn the song itself, how does it go, not which keys to press.

[krazie835]

Very beautiful I must say. You did a fine job with the Goldsmith's theme.

[mees462]

Good job

[Carpathia3]

As a fellow pianist, I must give my compliments, indeed!

[Pribinace]

jeziis holka co fantasticky hraje na piano a ma rada star trek:D... keby aj u nas na slovensku boli take:D...translate...omg a girl lovely plaing on piano and star trek fun... i wish there were some in my country Slovakia....:D

[Arlondia]

Však Česká republika není tak daleko :-)

Well, the Czech republic isn't far away :-)

[snifrbelin]

Unfortunately the Netherlands are far away :-)

Btw, very good job.

[mees462]

are you netherlands? m2(lol0

[unclebob53703]

This is my favorite movie music. Thanks for posting.

[taflking]

you did a kick ass job !

[JC101111]

nádhera ;o) vždycky mě to dostane ...

[Freddran]

chtělo by to zapsat do not :) fakt pěkný

[Freddran]

btw. jdi na konzervatoři nebo si jen tak hraješ? :)

[Arlondia]

Dík, to mi lichotí, ale na konzervatoř to fakt není, tam jsou lepší borci. Chtěla jsem na konzervu jít, ale na skladbu (tzn. komponování), ale pak jsem se na to vykašlala, přece jenom vejška je vejška. A stejně, podle toho, co vím, že se tam učí, tak jsem udělala jedině dobře. :-P

[ironwolf9089]

are you russian ??? coues i dont don't know whay you typed

[Arlondia]

No, we are from the Czech republic. Freddran wrote that he would like it written on the paper and btw. if I attend a music school. I replied that I didn't even try because of the high school.

If we have been russians, we would write in "azbuka"... :-)

[ironwolf9089]

oh sorry i only thout you were russian becoues i am so in love with a russian girl

[Arlondia]

Don't apologise, there is no reason to be sorry. We have something similar with Russians (although we don't much understand to each other)

[ironwolf9089]

ok but i am serius about being in love with a russian girl i like love her with all my heart and she is so beautiful but she hates me =(

[Arlondia]

You love someone ho hates you? So do not waste the time, life is not so long ;-) Find someone a little bit closer :-)

[ironwolf9089]

can you post what keeys to ues for the next generaton theme and put thim in order

[Arlondia]

Sorry, I don't understand... What are "keeys to ues"?

[ironwolf9089]

i need the to know what piano keys to ues to play star trek tng theme can you post them

[mavoo3]

thats wonderful great playin AA+

[Sylverling]

Tak. Konecne jsem se na to podival... :P

Jo, je to celkem fajn. Tak ty tri hvezdicky si to zaslouzi. Pozor na vstupy do fraze, aby nebylo vyrazene predtakti, obcas to rusi. Vic legato. Dobre rozlisena pasma. Ty behy by to chtelo zpreciznit, jsou takove rozplizle. Zkus drzet oktavy bliz u klaves, plynuleji. Chtelo by to preci jen uspornejsi pohyby, hlavne prava, a nebouchat do kazde klavesy zvlast - spojovat uhozy do vetsich, delsich, plynulejsich pohybu. Tezko takhle neco vic rict na dalku...

[welshslider]

Love this. I also love the first contact soundtrack. Very well done.

[taiyoshin]

Awesome, excellent job!

[MarcR2006]

YES! A perfect "10" again. I absolutely loved the themes that you played.. both the "First Contact" and then the "Next Generation" themes. I love your music.

[Arlondia]

Thanks. Now I'm working on Pirates of Carribean and Harry Potter Hedwig's Theme. I'm going to record them today.
