To Boldly Go & End Credits (piano)

This is my piano rendition of the final moments of the 2009 Star Trek film, as well as its end credits. Michael Giacchino is the composer of everything but the statements of Alexander Courage's original Trek theme. As I'm playing this by ear, I regretfully do NOT have sheet music, so please save yourself the trouble and don't ask. =) However, please do enjoy my rendition, and if you have any tips for improving, I would be greatly appreciative! Note that I did make a few intentional alterations, mostly to the Courage theme and fanfare, in order to make it a little more similar to the 1960s original.

Amazing...absolutely amazing. Tell me, what note does the main theme start on? And what is the key signature?

@eNerdStudios Thank you very much! The main theme at the beginning of the credits starts on F; it's in the key of Bb. :) The recordings for the original series were in some other key, though...

this sounds just like the orchestral version! beautiful!

You motivated me to learn, my new goal now

How long did it take to arrange this?

@zzzzzzzzzzaaaaapp Thanks! It took...I dunno, a few weeks, maybe? It took longer than some of my other arrangements, simply because it's a long piece. Required a lot of playing and re-playing each passage to memorize the structure of the whole thing. But it was worth it! =D

can sheet music be made?

@HPPFilms Perhaps eventually, but it's not an option at the moment.  =( Sorry!

That was incredible!

I really enjoyed Muchael Giachino Score for Star Trek.

You have seriously captured the feeling and tone of his work, and made it fresh with this arrangement!
