"Alexander 'Sandy' Courage wrote the Main Theme for 'Star Trek: The Original Series', which ran from 1966 to 1969, within a week in 1965.
The theme's original title is "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
I slightly updated this to "Where No One Has Gone Before" as women went to space then and are going now.
As a matter of fact, the first pilot of the series, 'The Cage', featured a character named Number One, a female First Officer played by Majel Barrett who later played Nurse Christine Chapel in the series and married its creator, Gene Roddenberry.
Growing up in Germany, family members, friends and I loved watching re-runs of 'Raumschiff Enterprise' as 'Star Trek' was called there.
We re-enacted the adventures of Kirk, Spock, Pille (Dr. McCoy/Bones' nickname in the German dubs), Uhura, Scotty, Sulu and Chekov in the playground of our elementary school.
Since the organ console of The Great Organs of First Church is very much like the command center of a spaceship, it made perfect sense to adapt this theme for pipe organ.
Thank you, FCCLA AV Team Captain David Saldaña, for the beautiful live (!) video overlays.
The digital reflections of the church's rose window on the right side of the bottom keyboard from 4:27 to 5:09 very much remind me of the instrument buttons on the Bridge of the Starship Enterprise.
And thank you, Kaspar Abbo, for being such a faithful and fun partner in the sanctuary while filling the corona vault between March 2020 and September 2021.
This rendition is an unedited performance from the last pre-service run-through before our weekly half-hour Prelude Concert at First Congregational Church of Los Angeles on May 9 of 2021.
Please excuse a brief digital artifact at 5:30.
Between the organist being able to send signals to 18,000+ pipes via the organ console and between me scheduling a live premiere of this video in places ranging from Mannheim, Germany, to Los Angeles, California, and many other spaces in the universe and multiverse via internet stream, I find it quite amazing how much stuff actually works :)"
