"The Orville" transheard for pipe organ: Let's go **BOLD!**

Finally, Star Trek boldly went where no man has gone before — and messed up more or less completely with its second-to last installment titled "Discovery". Since then, most Trekkies found a new home at "The Orville", which some of them already think of to be more "Star Trek" than the original franchise and its latest spin-offs.

Enjoy the majestic title theme backed by original footage, but with the orchestra being replaced by the 1903 Metz — Have fun!

Take Two in the series of "The Orville"-inspired pieces: The melody is almost exactly the same as the title theme, but taken down drastically in terms of speed and loudness. With that soft registration, it could serve as a lament played in the background during conversations between characters or some fly-by passing scenes with nice colorful nebula — pick your fav choice.

This one's not exactly an "Orville" soundtrack excerpt. Instead, I had some space battle scenes in mind, most of them based on the episode "Identity, Part 2" where the Union and Krill, although (still) being enemies, come closer and unite their forces to withstand a common foe, namely the Kaylon, an android species.

While the footage was taken entirely from that exact episode, the music is an improvised "on spot" match and, at least IMHO, could serve as an alternate replacement for the original sound track (OST).

Condition: RED — Set all your HiFi systems to "stun"! :-)
