Star Trek V expanded score 11/30!!

Me too! Wondering when ST IV and ST VI get the extended treatment? Any lost musical sequences people are wishing they had from those films?

Never was a big fan of the IV score, outside of that one great use of the TOS fanfair at the end. But I agree with the wish for a VI expanded score. I'd also love to see an expanded score for Generations, always loved that one.
 
Never was a big fan of the IV score...

I loved Leonard Rosenmann's soundtrack he did for Ralph Bakshi's "The Lord of the Rings" animated feature, so I was very excited when I first learned he was doing ST IV. Love the comical stuff, esp. "Chekov's Run", and the cheerful end credits.
 
I want to hear Rosenman's original main title. The first 25 seconds of it can be heard on the album before it cuts over to his revised main titles, based off of what he wrote for the end titles.

What does the Generations soundtrack lack? From what I remember it seemed rather complete.

Couple of things.

1. The cue that coincides with the reveal of the Enterprise boat after the Enterprise-B sequence.
2. The AWESOME piece that plays when the Enterprise-D is revealed for the very first time onscreen that fades into the sequence where Riker and crew searching the Amigosa Station.
3. The ENTIRE Amigosa Star collapse sequence.
4. The eerie music that plays in Stellar cartography.
5. The film version of the Enterprise crash sequence.

So yeah, that's a lot of missing music.

A week or so after ST IV opened in the US, but before it had opened in Australia, some friends and I were invited to Sydney's Paramount distributor's theatrette to see the "work print". The scrolling end titles had not yet been attached, and the temporary, framed stills of all the main actors' faces flashed by to the Rosenman music. The joyous music reflected our own euphoria of seeing the film before anyone else Down Under.

Indeed. Also, some of the mix/volume levels were messed with from McCarthey's original intent, both in the film and on the first soundtrack release. He spoke briefly about this in several interviews. He envisioned a louder, more intense mixing for the score, but Berman had it filtered down to meet his "sonic wallpaper" edict.
