According to Film Music Society, Alexander Courage, composer of the original Star Trek theme and an Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated arranger for TV and movies, died May 15 at the Sunrise assisted-living facility in Pacific Palisades, Calif. He was 88.
Courage's fanfare for the Starship Enterprise, written in 1965 for the first of two Star Trek pilots, "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before", was heard throughout the three original seasons of The Original Series and has been reprised in all of the Star Trek feature films, from The Motion Picture to Nemesis, and several of the TV series, especially Star Trek: The Next Generation in the 1980s and '90s.
Courage wrote the original score for the following TOS episodes

As reported by SCI FI Wire in November 2007: Michael Giacchino, who shall compose the score for J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movie, says he'll retain at least the opening theme music from the original series by Alexander Courage.
"I think that the thing to do would be to hold on to the only thing that does speak 'that says Star Trek' universally, which is the [opening theme from the original series]
"I grew up listening to all of that great [Trek] music, and that's part of what inspired me to do what I'm doing."
