Star Trek:The Inner Light - "sinfonisches blasorchester wehdel" 

Agreed sir 🖖❤️🖖

You mean, "The Most". This episode hit me so hard in the feels.

It is absolutely not stupid, when you hear the music with your heart...

Not sure the point you are making? We are not gone yet! Since 1903, we have boomed with technology though thousands of years has passed for our society. I like the comforts we have discovered since then. And I know we will live among-st the stars, I just hope to see it. The fact you wrote this message.. do you understand the science that let you do it? Did you simply push a power switch and type what you did without thought of the electrical impulse science behind what you did? But this compose is truly a magical and moving work of art. Makes me tear up every time I hear it, from any part of the world that recreates it. Most people do not know or care what is behind that power switch. Thus only a few understand your statement...good on you for that! Was that your point?

@@afacetiousguy Quoting a line from the episode of Star Trek which the music comes from.

@@ataphanes5422 So no thought came with it. That was my point, he referenced a line. Very sad but that is how most of our civilization is. I have to probably explain "Most." Most people will not watch this. Most people will not understand the reference from which it came from. Do I need to explain more Ataphanes? BTW, this piece was played at the 50th Star Trek Convention in Vegas.. I loved it there and thought of the above while it was playing.

Odd.

And weird .

He will not pass away, he will hit warp 10.

And de-evolve into a lizard? 😊

I wholeheartedly agree with you there

I also agree, he played the part so well.

Really not stupid!

Not stupid bro. Expected and normal from the gift of God's music for us to enjoy.

It is not stupid I am the same and I know that thar are outhers.THE RESON YOU AND OUTHERS CRY IS ALL OF US DON'T HAVE LUST HATE AND IF YOU SEE SOME ONE THAT NEEDS HELP WE DO NOT THINK SOME EALS WILL HELP WE JEST GO TO THAT PERSON AND NONE OF US THINK WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME THAT'S WHY.

No you aren't being a baby.It is the same with me and my mother.We don't jest hear it all of us we feel it before we hear it.thoes who don't our can't are not rely living.

Me too

Inner light is about a lot of things. Picard's happiness, his sorrow, his loss, his life. "If you remember what we were, and how we lived, then we'll have found life again." -Elaine (Picard's Wife in Inner Light). Always remember those who have past so that they are not forgotten. My condolences

My father would have been 100 today. I have not forgotten him, but I still miss him😢

Same 🖖❤🖖

God bless your wife. Shes surely in a good place

Somehow I believe she's always with you, especially here. ❤

I know ... (y) me too.

Sorry but if you disliked it in 1992, I have to ask, "What the hell is wrong with you?" The inner light is one of the top 3 episodes if not the best Star Trek episode ever made.

Same 😢

Such a powerful episode. The melody is so perfect, it somehow suits Picard's personality so well.

It truly is a great episode. The best out of the entire series.

Same sir 🖖👍❤️

Actually the piece was adapted from Scottish Fantasy composed by Max Bruch. Jay Chattaway then reworked that piece to create the Picard Flute piece.

Also watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bGXnkFrhpR8.html

Amen !

Not difficult at all, considering how the composition in the show. Star Trek has a history of orchestral music since TOS.

@@Locutus Absolutely. I just wish we could have another new Trek that even came close to attempting the philosophical depth of the earlier ones. 😭

Fulliest agreed sir 🖖❤️🖖

Absolutely agree. And soooo worthy of the Hugo Award for science fiction in 1993 (more so than any other recognized that year).

I recently watched it with a skeptical Star Trek newbie. They simply loved it; Hooked on aTNG now. This might be the best episode to use when introducing people to Star Trek.

​@@doronhoward7191Agreed sir 🖖

It brings me back to the episode itself everytie. And every time i watched this episode, i cry.

47yr old fat German bloke here, crying like a baby. WAAAAAAAAAAAH! :D.....

Picard, in his Ready Room, embracing the flute...always jumps to my soul when I hear the flute. Makes my eyes leak a bit.

Bill Carlson Picard was in his quarters

Agreed sir 👍🖖👍

There's also this Scottish-sounding piece in Downton Abbey called Duneagle that plays when they visit there, I think it's very pretty.

Thanks for the info. I had wondered if this lovely tune was based to some extent on an already existing melody. I am not surprised to find that it has old Scottish roots. I am fond of medieval and renaissance music from different countries, so I noticed how much this melody resembled those old tunes.🎷🎹🎻

I was thinking the Inner Light flute piece was somehow Scottish in origin or influence when I noticed the theme used for “Outlander” (Skye Boat Song) was very similar.

I've always thought it was inspired by 'El noi de la mare' - also, which part of the Scottish Fantasy do you think it sounds like? Information on this song has been an interest of mine for going on decades...

@@AsteroidM749A I say all this in my comment above.

And they will not, sir 🖖❤🖖

There's also the orchestral version about 7 minutes long. Highly recommended ❤

"As if every country were home, as if every way had been completed". If this isn't poetry then it damn well should be.

@@RS250Squid in fact its part of a german poem from "Hermann Hesse" about passing a house at night and listening to a whistle, someone is playing behind the open windwow

Herrlich gell. Da lohnt es sich n Instrument zu lernen. Das lass mal im Autoradio laufen aufn Parkdeck ,gehen die Hälse hoch. Gruss Paul.

@@trabbipaul Ja, da hast du Recht das die Hälse hoch gehen. Ich bin Star Trek Fan seit ich ungefähr 6 oder 7 Jahre alt war. Jetzt bin ich fast 50 und keine Folge hat mich emotional so sehr mitgenommen, als diese hier.

Ich auch. Regelmäßig. 🖖❤️🖖

I can only imagine how worthwhile that was ❤

Agreed sir 🖖❤️🖖

Darmok made a really good point..

Shaka, when the walls fell

One of my favorite episodes

TNG has a lot of strong contenders for best episode. The Inner Light, Darmok, Measure of a Man, Best of Both Worlds, All Good Things, the list goes on and on.

Ya right!!! LOL

Definitely the best episode~

agree

You’re not alone on your thoughts

I love it.its like I'm breathing it in.

"The Inner Light" and "Darmok" are my two favorite TNG episodes - maybe my favorite Trek episodes of all time.

He did in another video

Or a captain's uniform ;-)

He should have worn a Kataan villager dress

That would have made a circus of something sublime .

I agree.

+Uri Kurlianchik Which later shows were more "sciencey?" Also, it’s true that the Star Trek franchise has always promoted a humanistic approach in their series, with some episodes all but hostile toward God, nearly all of the Star Trek worlds acknowledged spirituality in some form or another, and respected Christianity to some extent. You see this acknowledgement mostly in the original series but all have done so. A quick Google search provides many examples.Cpt. Kirk, “Man has no need for gods. We find the one quite sufficient." (TOS: Who Mourns for Adonis). The computer M-5 states: "Murder is contrary to the laws of man and God" (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer"). Uhura to Spock: "Don't you understand? It's not the sun up in the sky. It's the Son of God." (TOS: "Bread and Circuses"). Bible scripture is quoted (TOS: "The Empath").Data mentions a Hindu Festival of Lights. (TNG:"Data's Day"). There’s Christian church or chapel beside the graveyard, …the attendees say "Amen" (TNG: "Sub Rosa"). Captain Picard celebrates Christmas with his family in the Nexus ("Star Trek Generations"). Cpt. Sisko: says, "There are *things* I believe in." (DS9: "The Ship"). Joseph Sisko recites from the Bible (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars"). A crewmember wants a priest to perform her wedding ceremony (DS9: "Penumbra"). The Doctor acts as a Roman Catholic priest (VOY: "Spirit Folk").Dr. Phlox has been to a Tibetan monastery and attended a mass at St. Peter's Square. (ENT: "Cold Front"). Appeared as a priest (ENT: "A Night in Sickbay"). --- So, I have no issue with Christianity and I will always be a Trek fan.

It made me as a child understand different cultures and that working together makes a difference.

It is amazing to me how many of my current values can be traced back to watching TNG growing up in the 90's.

@VTV SD ...There is a lot more to humanism than your odd, knee-jerk assumption that it's all about being anti-religious. What a weird comment! o.O

The TOS movies are generally speaking pretty good in that regard. Funny enough Wrath of Khan, usually seen as the best TOS movie, has the least humanist elements

You got that right, for me, too.

good idea, i'll talk to my attorney.

me too

Me t oo

That would be beautiful... Before this I was going have them play Staying Alive.

Life long and prosper!!

🖖😍

Nor should it. But I don't know if that's even a bad this, or relevant. This is a beautiful piece on its own with weight.

True, but maybe this exposure on the Tube will lead others to watch the episode. I will certainly do so, if I come across a full copy of it anywhere.

Ganz genau 👍👍

Das liegt daran, weil wir Menschen einem falschen Menschenbild anhängen...Und nur materiellen Besitz als wichtig erachten

CA MorinasKunst Wer entscheidet denn darüber, was ein falsches Menschenbild ist und was ein richtiges?

@AnthonyMills Go get yourself a whistle! The Clarke original whistle, or a Dave Shaw, looks closest to the Ressikan flute which Picard played in the story (and elsewhere!).
