#Notevember Day 30: How does the main theme capture the series ethos? ENT's "Faith of the Heart"

While the ENT theme can be divisive, I do like how its lyrics capture humanity's continued exploration of deep space & the wonders of discovery

#Notevember Day 28: A Favorite SNW Track - "Mansion Impossible" from "A Space Adventure Hour"

This track gives an air of mystery & tenseness to scenes. Btw, there were lots of funny references & puns in the titles of SNW S3 album tracks.

#Notevember Day 26: A Favorite PRO Track - End Credits (Janeway's Theme)

I'll go with the end credit music which incorporates parts of Admiral Janeway's theme.

#Notevember Day 25: A Favorite LDS Track - Opening of "A Farewell to Farms"

This episode gets its own Ma'ab-focused main titles, accompanied by a more peaceful, reflective version of the Lower Decks main theme.

#Notevember Day 24: Bright - Main titles theme from "Star Trek: The Animated Series"

This is one of my favorite Trek themes. I always enjoy listening to this peppy, uptempo theme song.

#Notevember Day 23: Pop - TNG's "Encounter at Farpoint"

When Riker met Data for the first time, Data was in the holodeck trying to whistle "Pop Goes the Weasel". When he had problems whistling the ending notes, Riker helped out.

#Notevember Day 22: A Favorite PIC Track - "Make It So"

#Notevember Day 21: Oh, the Jazz

This is more of a tangential pick - the song "All That Jazz" from "Chicago", sung by the character of Velma Kelly. Bebe Neuwirth (Lanel in TNG's "First Contact") played Velma in the '96 Broadway revival.

#Notevember Day 19: A Favorite DSC Track - "Goodbye to Crew - Farewell Discovery" ("Life, Itself")

This was from the episode's epilogue as Michael reminisce about her friends on Discovery as she takes the ship out for one more mission.
"So many memories"

#Notevember Days 17 (Dark) & 18 (Species' Theme) - TWOK's "Khan's Pets"

I'll take care of 2 prompts w/ 1 pick today, specifically, the track for the Ceti eels. On a semi-tangent, I highly recommend the recent "Star Trek: Khan" audio drama.

#Notevember Day 14 - Rock

Soon after I discovered Star Trek back in the '80s, a couple of Top 5 pop songs included Star Trek references, Nena's "99 Luftballons" ("99 Red Balloons") and Information Society's "What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)". 🎼🎵🎶

#Notevember Day 13 - A Favorite VOY track - "Dr. Schweitzer" (VOY's "Heroes and Demons)

This fanfare-style cue was played when the Doctor was hailed as a hero who could potentially defeat Grendel.
"All hail Schweitzer!"

#Notevember Day 12: Classical - J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 (TNG's "Lessons")

The Brandenburg Concertos is my favorite piece of classical music so it was nice to hear that during this TNG episode. 🎼🎵🎶

#Notevember Day 11: Favorite Trek Character Musician - Harry Kim

One of the reasons Harry is my pick is because the clarinet was the instrument I played back in elementary school music class. He was also the leader of the jazz group, the Kimtones.

I'm taking a brief break from Star Trek novels to read Dan Brown's "The Secret of Secrets", his latest novel featuring symbologist Robert Langdon. 📚

(Catching up on the #Notevember prompts)

Day 9: A Favorite DS9 Track - "Badda-Bing-Badda Bang"

One of my favorite tracks is this one which we heard when the DS9 senior staff starts their caper to save Vic's.

#Notevember Day 8: Diagetic Alien Music, T'Lyn - Lower Decks' "The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel"

T'Lyn played music on Krog's vibe tubes to disrupt the Glumpus' signal. Btw, this musical instrument was first seen in TNG's "We'll Always Have Paris".
