Enterprise intro with alternate music

This music was considered for the opening of "Enterprise" before they finally settled on "Faith of the Heart", a choice most fans disliked. I thought it would be interesting to see what the opening would have been like with the other choice.

The music is a minor variation on the "Generations" theme.

Some good points there.

From what ST soundtrack did you take the part that begins at 1:13?

[mikecombs61]

I didn't prepare this music, someone at Paramount did. All I did was marry it to the visuals. The music is basically the "Generations" theme, and if you listen to that, it does end with what I call the Enterprise signature.

INFINITELY better than the theme they ended up using. THIS one actually sounds like a TREK theme! Thank you for posting it!

Lyrics aren't bad as long as they're not in the actual song. Sing them in front of your TV.

Faith of the Heart was horrible - it may be lyrically meaningful, but it's musically atrocious. It lacks the sense of wonder and the "Trek" feel that all other Star Trek shows have had. I personally think that the theme song was instrumental in killing the show.

Faith of the Heart really isn't bad - it just doesn't belong in Star Trek. Give it to a new, emerging Sci-Fi show, and I'd be happy.

This is what they should have used.

i bet the show would habe lasted longer if they used this theme

this one was way better

Like a lot of people I was intially taken back by a Star Trek theme with lyrics. But I got over it, and used to sing that song with my daughter a lot.

@steeloavenger there is ntn wrong with Faith of the Heart it fitted the series

[dazlovescarter]

i dont get why people didnt like Faith of the Heart i for one thought that it fitted the series and i love the song, there going where there heart will take them out exploring space and can reach any star the words of the song fitted the show

[adriancombe]

Definitely, would have been better.

Meh...I don't know. I always thought Faith was a good change of pace for Star Trek after the orchestra music of the first four. At first, my family HATED the theme (I was the only one to really enjoy it), but by about the second season, we kinda sang along to it. Dunno, thought it was refreshing and think that the people who didn't like it may have just been taken aback with that drastic of a change (or just too stubborn to accept change, if you can excuse my bluntness).
