I've got to say, at some point during the run of DS9 and VOY, the music really took a step up. No more discordant, atonal blasts of "orchestra" jarring our ears. We got proper music, and it was awesome.
It took longer for that to really happen honestly, because a lot of this motif is reused wholesale in DS9's 'Tacking into the Wind', particularly when Worf kills Gowron.
I have been searching for this for over 20 years... THANK YOU! This is just epic, feature film quality music for an epic Two-part episode of Star Trek! Them drumb beats and the horns, the complete arrangement, similar to later Trek on DS9-VOY-ENT; with Star Trek Insurrection in the mix! This is thee music piece that summarizes the late 1990s Star Trek style I dearly miss!
I’ve just finished watching the voyager series for the first time, the whole series is just brilliant, I get goosebumps when I listen to this particular piece of music, a brilliant first class show with a first class music score. 👍
David Bell composed the soundtrack to Pale Moonlight too. Bell reused many of his compositions across DS9 and Voyager. Some fans dislike Bell's music because of it's repetitive nature but I personally think it gives a sense of continuity.
