The theme from the “Star Trek” TV and subsequent movie series was written in 1966 by Alexander Courage.

I would be remiss if I were to produce a “Star Wars” duet, and not produce a “Star Trek” duet, so here it is.

Some of this piece is a reduction of Alexander Courage’s arrangement, and some is my own variation. I used available midi and mp3 files from the internet to capture the essence of the piece. My wife Cynthia and I had purchased a box set of the TV series, and in free time, we are playing through all of the episodes, one at a time. Therefore, the theme has very much been on our minds.

The Soprano part is a copy of the original theme, performed either by a soprano voice or a Theremin, and the counterplay by French Horns is in the Alto part.

The large comma you see above measure 35 indicates a brief pause – a separation before continuing.

As in many of my recent pieces, you can use Composer commands to display the lyrics (qsl) or the chords (qscn).
