Star Trek Composer Alexander Courage Dead at 88


Recommended Posts

Alexander Courage, who wrote the original Star Trek title theme as well as the scores for numerous television shows and movies, died May 15 in Pacific Palisades, California at the age of 88. The Emmy winning and Oscar-nominated composer had over 90 film and television credits and at least one other TV theme (Judd for the Defense), but he was best known for the exotic, bongo-driven siren song he wrote for the original Star Trek TV series.

My idiot friends got the band at our wedding to play the Star Trek theme, complete with the female singer wailing Aaaaaaaaaa-aaa-a-a-a. The replication of it by them was amazing, the reaction of the other guests was not. My nickname was "Spock" for many years, before the more affable "jimmie ray" was coined. Admiral Pike rules!!!
