The Klingons need a theme song...

[cocoa-jin]

I just saw the new vid in another thread, that Voyager theme gets me everytime. It some how envokes a desire to stand up, take of my hat, salute or place my hand over my heart as it plays.

The Klingons need a theme to envoke such emotions for them...or ban the Voyager theme(j/k) so Im not torn so horribly by its pull.

Some one has to have some Klingon theme music somewhere...post 'em if you got 'em!

[47Wasps]

I think the Klingons do have a theme song.
It first appeared in The Motion Picture (in the opening scene with the three Klingon K'tinga-class warships),and has been used as the Klingon theme in TNG and DS9

"O, Fortuna!" (Carmina Burana #1) Carl Orff

Don't forget about the little "remix" in Star Trek First Contact when the camera cuts to the Defiant bridge.

When Jerry Goldsmith wrote that song,he knew exactly what he was doing. Brilliant composer.

Thats not bad! It feels perfect for a cloaked stalking of a target. Its like an opera playing quietly under its breath...like a Klingon captain has his own personal theme music and the band onboard the ship is trying not give the ship away while its playing it.

I could use some strong male Klingon voices singing opera to our theme song too....sort of Soviet propoganda-esque. Not too much like Soviet theme...maybe not so many voices(no Klingon Broadway musicals please), but I like the strength and warrior-esque feel that it would bring.

Anyway...this will do, though I'd like to see something new in the vein of the Movie's.

maybe they can update this old Klingon theme for STO

Exactly right (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfwMCnPYuOs)! This is the Klingon's theme song. I really love this song and I would love to blast away Federation scum in my Bird of Prey.

What I also want to see is a button I can click that orders my bridge crew to sing battle songs! After all, Klingons are known (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Soldiers_of_the_Empire) to for singing songs as they go into battle! (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/The_Warrior%27s_Anthem)

I really like the above, its what I always think of when I think Klingon, plus it gets the blood pumping very exciting music.

But seriousness aside, whats wrong with This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCARADb9asE)

[cocoa-jin]

What I also want to see is a button I can click that orders my bridge crew to sing battle songs!

HA! I agree! Klingon war songs are a must. Either on command, or triggered on occassion by certain circumstances.

Celebratory cheers from the bridge crew on occasion for successfully destroying a target, or landing a critical hit on a target...like taking out propulsion, hitting the bridge, blowing off a nacelle, the successful transporting of a boarding party or getting the first torp hit after the shields drop. These can be due to weapons or boarding party infliction of damage.

*edit*
For immersion, the battle songs, cheers and over all bridge bantor is essential in my mind. If the devs wanted to look into other examples, they should look into the crew environment in Silent Hunter IV. It always felt these starship bridges, especially Klingon bridges, feels a bit like a sub's bridge. Silent Hunter IV is really good at re-creating the bridge interactions and its relativly dynamic.

Such an immersive crew would be great for STO.

[dyvimtorm]

Btw, do we know who is producing the music for the game?

[mistermgd]

How about Peter Cetera's "Glory of Love" fro Karate Kid 2, that kind of has a Klingon ring to it with the whole figthing for your honor kind of thing.:D

[thefreshjedi]

All I can say is listen to the opening theme song from the very first Star Trek (TOS) Movie when the fleet of Klingon battle-cruisers is approaching the VGER cloud. That theme music is sick. I also liked the Fight music in Star Trek II, the Wrath of Khan, either would be a fine choice.

It's usually a tribal theme, lots of drums, rattles, shakers, and symbols.

Horns, harps and trumpets for the StarFleet theme.

I think the Spanish Flea song would work nicely.

Maybe the intro and chorus for boarding party action. It certainly has a FPS kind of feel to it.

Did you check out the first page of this thread? :p this is one of the first suggestions and links made lol A number of people agree that this would be perfect for the Klingons in STO.

[zinc]

Daniel "dStahl" Stahl and Andy "Squez" Velasquez (two of our team members) wrote and sing a song (accompanied by acoustic guitar) called "The Ultimate Klingon". It was written in honor of one of our in game Episodes.

I can assure you that we will NOT be using that as the Klingon theme in game. : )

I'll be rocking some metal when I play. There's lots of good theme music there. It's all I need.

Will STO do something similar to City of Heroes/Villains log in screen? And could we select via options which Faction background and theme music loads up when we start up the game?

Im sure in all the time that they have been creating the game they have had a department create some pretty incredible in game music.

Theres more than likeyl going to be a kind of Juke box where u can play something out of a list of differnt things or not have anything at all.

And if its true to Syar trek then there should be some great things being created for it

Hah, I was going to post that. Excellent choice!

[SirReginaldo]

Well even though I enjoy the Oboe (its not Oboe the whole time I forgot to mention. Probably a combo of a French Horn, trumpet and Baritone) in the First Movie's "Klingon Battle" Theme, there might be a need for a new theme, and I am sure that between Cryptic and Atari, something could be done. Taking heed from classic music, and maybe even war songs (tribal/conflict) might help. Take some of the older First nations music for example and Drums, crashes and howling people:D Maybe some classic instruments like a sustained Bass screech:p

Listen to this music, and it might make you think "Dude... That has the same kinda feel" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-_LnLY9zWk
Even though the song is quite flowing, the ruff areas would be perfect.

[Vuk]

Purely instrumental you have to go Wagner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHjWDCX1Bdw&feature=related this one rules.

[Trekkie]

"The Ultimate Klingon" certainly sounds inspirational enough, so I don't see why it shouldn't be used . . . although I may have an idea or two. Even though I will not be playing anyone aligned with the Klingon Empire (at least as my main character), I do think that the Klingons are more than deserving of having their own special musical theme that could be developed throughout the game and perhaps used for the loading screens, etc. of a Klingon-aligned player as an option. Either way, I do agree that a lot of the music of the Star Trek universe is more than capable of eliciting emotion, so at the very least it will be great if Star Trek Online blends some of these familiar themes with their own new music in order to create a truly spectacular overall sound for the game -- I am looking forward to it!

But Sir.. Could they not visit DS9 and Perform a Routine.. as an Easter Egg...

The Themes from the Classics work.. Holst :The Planets.. Wagner: Enter the Gates of Valhalla..
Less Techno Midi More Philharmonic... [Support your local chamber orchestra] or
Ethereal themes do not translate as well to a Klingon Battle Cruiser swooping in.. More Menace is required.

Here's the ideal one "Don't you want some Honor"; I was working as bartender in a Klingon bar when I met you; I beat you up threw you around turned your face black and blue; Don't you want some honor; don't you want some glory too don't you want some honor don't you want some glory too; I was working as a firstmate on a Klingon Barge, when the Romulans attacked you I shot them down but when I turned around the Captain tried to kill me too I sliced him up and shot him out the airlock too; don't you want some honor don't you want some glory too don't you want some honor don't you want some glory too... duh duh duh duh duh duh...duh duh duh duh.... duh duh duh duh duh... duh duh duh duh... duh duh duh duh duuuuh... don't you want some honor don't you want some glory too, don't you want some honor don't you want some glorrry too, don't you want some honor don't you wnat some glorrrry too...

I am glad that someone appreciates my sarcastic humor. Got the idea from the Swiffer commerical where the Dj plays the song fromn Mr. Broom "Don't you want me baby...":D

We could do a similar rendition of Peter Cetera's "Glory of Love" to "Glory of the Klingon Empire".:)

I forgot to add that Glory of Love was the theme song from Karate Kid 2 in case you didn't know and here is a couple of lines from " Glory of the Klingon Empire":
Tonight space is very clear with my Klingon brethren here there's so many thigns I want to do; I have always needed duty I could never make it alone duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh...
I am a man who will fight for your honor I'll be the hero that the Empire's dreaming of we'll live forever knowing that we did it all for the glory of the Klingon Empire;... Like a warrior in shining armor from a civlization far away just in time I will save the day take to you to the empire far awaaaaay... I am a man who will fight for the empire I'll be the hero you've been dreamin of we'll live forever knowin that we did it all fote glory of the Klingon Empire; we did it all for the Empire We did it all for the Empire we did it all for the Empire....
