| Apr 8, 2023 at 3:16 | comment | added | Tango | @Lexible It's used in a number of episodes and the answer has a link to a good video about the episode it was written for. I'm surprised it was only used from S02 on, since it always seemed to be in so many episodes. Thanks for your comment on my description. I think combining the words Kurt and I used, like wistful, grandeur, ancient, and lost evoke the same kind of emotional response that the theme does. | |

| Apr 7, 2023 at 17:37 | comment | added | Tango | @KurtFitzner: "wistful historical grandeur" is about right. I've called it "ancient grand civilization lost," so the intended feel certainly comes across. I was hoping it might be part of a longer piece. I hope it does show up somewhere, since I'd like a clean version of it. | |

Off the top of my head it's also used in Who Mourns for Adonais, and several other places where they wanted to evoke some sort of wistful historical grandeur. Most of those clips had little names, but it will be a trick to find this one's name. I don't think it's on any soundtrack CDs because it's too short. | |
