In unrelated Death News, the actress that played "weezie" on The Jeffersons has also died.
I sense a conspiracy.....if this continues, everyone currently alive may fall victim to this "death" thing eventually.

That's a bloody long list. And there are some movies I absolutely love on there that I don't generally think of in terms of having Goldsmith scores - it's so easy to take his work for granted. He'll be missed.

Is this where the Goldsmith party is?
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Posted from another thread.
That is sad news indeed! He was a great composer. Although I wasn't too wrapped in Insurrection and didn't end up getting Nemesis soundtrack (although I'm sure I eventually will) - The Music to Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is just simply magestic and beautiful. The score to that film, and I've said it here a number of times is the best thing about that movie. People always say how much they love the First Contact soundtrack, well it drew heavily from Star Trek V. It is one of the few Trek scores that have held up over the years - both in the movie and as a soundtrack to listen to. He will be sadly missed. He was an institution in Hollywood (well I'm sure he was). Pity it was John Williamson who got the academy awards all the time. His movies are like cookie-cutter scores. Although not ALL the time. The two latest Star Wars soundtracks were an utter disappointment. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was BRILLIANT and so was A.I. Artificial Intelligence. I digress, Jerry Goldsmith had some memorable scores and he will be missed, and yes he played a big part in the Trek Universe.

So why is the General Forum acceptable when other Trek-related personages kick, but not for Jerry Goldsmith?
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
Oh, for fuck's sake! This was the first thread to be opened. Here, in this Forum. We don't need another one. If the fact that the person who opened it happened to think that the Lounge was the best place for such a thread, then so be it. And if that denies one or two of the ultra-nerds (who'd never dream of ever going lower down the main page than the DAC Forum) the chance to express their feelings, so what? It's not like they ever noticed the music in the films anyway, they were too busy trying to spot the torpedo launchers.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Besides, the majority of the "x croaked" threads go here, anyway. So an "x worked on Trek and snuffed it" thread could really go either place. So the decision to put it here isn't a problem.

Still, a Star Trek death means no more than a regular death.
Unless it's in response to the needs of the many.
Then it means something. For like ten minutes.
And then they bring you back.

No one can be expected to know the names of all those involved with Star Trek. It's sad that he died, though, and may he rest in peace.

True, but Goldsmith was one of the big ones in both the entertainment and Star Trek industry. You ought to have known of his work with Star Trek.

Are we sure he's actually dead? Anyone use Pain Sticks?
Posted by Nim the Merciful (Member # 205) on :
Is there anyone sober here? I want to honor Goldschmitt, in some way proper. I liked Klingon Theme, and picard's flute theme makes me misty (it's alright, I'm secure in my manhood).
To the smith. *clink*
Posted by Ultra Manjuice (Member # 239) on :
He "ought" to have known nothing. Don't chastise someone for not nerdily knowing each and every little Star Trek-related human being on the planet.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Thing is it's not like he was 2nd grip on episode 52 of Star Trek: Voyager or something. Goldsmith was the composer of 5/10 Star trek films. He had something like 200-300 scores recorded/filmed/written in his career.
He wrote the Klingon theme. (Nice as it is, he didn't write Picard's flute theme... but you may have just been mentioning in the same sentence UM )
If you want to know more get Star Trek: 5 soundtrack - it's usually VERY cheap. People think cause it's the 'worst' movie (actually does Nemesis now hold that title) everything about it is bad - but the Score (and yes I've said this before) for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is the BEST of them all.
I was driving home this evening and flipping through radio stations and came to one of the classical stations (ABC Classic FM for those in Australia who care). And I caught the LAST note of something from Star Trek (I'm guessing it is Ilia's Theme from TMP) but they actually played TREK on the classical radiostation!! The host was featuring Jerry Goldsmith for the hour or half hour. So she played some stuff from Star Trek (Could have been more than just the one track I partially heard) and stuff from "The Omen" - the only film he won an Academy Award for. He was nominated 17 times. He SO should have won more than just one, anyway that's life.) Actually what one in the same year as The Motion Picture? That's a pretty good score. Does anyone know the Academy Award history of the Trek Movies?
Anyway - for my own Tribute I'm going to play the Albums of his that I have - well at least the Trek ones. MAINLY, TMP (20th ann. ed. and TFF.)
Andrew
P.S. Who are the Trek-associated people that have died just in the last year!?!
Kelly Waymire Cecily Adams Paul Winfield Matt Jefferies Jerry Goldsmith

Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Dr. Daystrom died!?! *shakes head* - actually that rings a faint bell. Actually so does Dr. M'Benga - was he like another Doctor on the Enterprise apart from McCoy?
Actually the Voyager theme has been so far one of the BEST television themes ever written. In terms of musicality and class - maybe not, like widespread recall/catchiness.
