There’s something about the TNG theme (played during the opening credits) that seems unique and special to my ear. But I don’t know about music and orchestral production to make sense of it.

It sounds to me like the mix or maybe arrangement is somewhat unusual, even compared to other TNG era star trek themes. It seems to have a brightness and sheen to its tones that are almost synth like (??) But also the arrangement seems to hit some sweet sci-fi spot, like the way strings and trumpets with oboes/clarinets underneath (??) all mix together? Or is the chords that are played some where?

I don’t know, but I’ve always thought it had a sheen and sparkle that almost sounds like star trek (or at least TNG star trek).

Anyone else notice something similar? Anyone know what’s going on?

    Honestly, the change on Enterprise being a lyrical song kind of fits because they aren’t the Federation yet. It’s a prequel. So it has this country tune playing in the intro instead.

      Not country; rock. Extremely soft rock. It’s a cover of a song originally performed by Rod Stewart. For the movie Patch Adams.
