Here it is! CBS has released a video that includes a preview of the main title theme for Star Trek: Discovery.
After some background information from Discovery composer Jeff Russo, we hear a familiar introduction, reminiscent of the Alexander Courage’s theme from The Original Series, which then transitions into an all-new theme for the series.
“My head exploded,” Russo joked, recalling the day he was hired to compose the music for the new series.
“When I first started thinking of what I would do for a main theme, I needed to feel like I was in the world of Star Trek. Even though there’s a lot of action in our show, I wanted to play into how these characters are feeling.”

Interesting. I’ll wait for the full version. I kind of feel like there was a cut in there which makes it feel more awkward than it might actually be, maybe two, unless that’s really the desired cord progression.

Yeah, Sounds wonderful and all…But, this “Sci-Fi” experience maybe ruined by reports on the internet that this version of TREK will play host to “overzealous, aggressive, Left-wing politics…Or, shall I say; Antifa , and Communism in SPACE!?” I understand that reports indicate that DNC/Liberal Progressive, CBS producers modeled the Klingons as “Trump Supporters”?! As an Independent, I find this stuff extremely distasteful…I Now understand how far the Democratic party, and IT’S Ilk have “gone off the rails.” I also understand the concerns from conservatives, and Libertarians about where these “People” are trying to take their propaganda…If DOESN’T turn out to be a good “Sci-Fi” , but instead a left-wing propaganda tool…Then I’ll boycott it , and bring many people to that fold…..

Star Trek HAS ALWAYS been about a society without prejudice and bigotry – a kind of utopia. Indeed in numerous interviews Gene Roddenberry stated that each episode of TOS was a “morality play”. It’s a shame you seem to know little about the show’s core values which are diametrically opposed to those of the current US administration
