Calling all Trekkies! This updated piano solo songbook features the musical themes from all the TV shows and movies. Includes: Star Trek - The Motion Picture * Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn * Star Trek III: The Search for Spock * Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home * Star Trek V: The Final Frontier * Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country * Star Trek: Generations * Star Trek: The Next Generation * Star Trek: Deep Space Nine * Star Trek: Voyager * and more!
Star Trek is one of those things I'd file under "favorite things in life". This book of piano sheet music covers *almost* everything you'd ever want to play from the Star Trek universe. This was a purchase for my girlfriend as I do not play the piano (I wish!) so a lot of what I'm saying is in her words. After hearing a lot of these tracks played, I was very impressed by the arrangements of the songs since Star Trek on a piano *can* be a bit hard to do at times. The music isn't overly simple yet it does feature some titles (such as the selection for Star Trek V, for example) that do showcase and require more advanced techniques. A must buy for the piano-playing Star Trek lover! No piano - or Star Trek - collection is complete without these timeless piano arrangements.
I'm writing to settle anyone's hesitation to buy this

The photo info has not been updated here at all. The 3rd edition has the theme to Enterprise and Insurrection added. I am guessing a 4th edition with Nemesis is on hold until Star Trek XI comes out next year.
Great Product!

I have been playing piano for years, and I absolutely love Star Trek. If you're like me, you will love this book! The songs are difficult, but not so hard that you won't be able to play them. The chords sound so much like the actual recording, it's amazing! Great product!

I don't play the piano but my wife does. I bought this music for her because she loves to play and she loves Star Trek. I do, however, have a wonderful sense of what is good music, especially, when it comes to piano versions. I hear a lot of music written for the piano that sounds like a poorly written poem. It's forced music and that doesn't do well in my way of thinking. I worried that I was taking a chance on this Star Trek Theme music being that the piano version may sound tinny with a lot of unnecessary notes plugged in to make it work. But to my surprise, when my wife played the music, it sounded wonderful. It sounded just like the original scores. It is quality music and you should be pleased with it too if you decide to purchase it.M.D. Cummings
Very well put together

This is book of piano solos featuring Star Trek themes. It has all the television show themes through "Star Trek: Voyager" as well as the movie themes through "Star Trek: First Contact." Incidentally, those two pieces are my favorites. The "First Contact" theme in particular sounds very nice on the piano, and I have played it numerous times.I am very pleased that this was offered as a piano solo edition. Many contemporary themes/song books are typically inundated with repetitive chords. But I think the arrangements in this book are very enjoyable to play.The proficiency required to play the pieces is probably best described as intermediate. However, beginners/novices may find the "Deep Space Nine," "Voyager," and "First Contact" themes within their grasp (and worth playing as well; I personally dislike "big note" or "easy piano" editions of anything).I guess it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that if those who like playing the piano and like "Star Trek" will enjoy this book. So if you fit that category, I highly recommend this book.
