Thanks, but I think the new series would be more contemporary in style than the TOS scores. Perhaps like the Horner or Goldsmith approach would be the way to go. Obviously with a much smaller, TV budget orchestra.
Music Of New Series?

- Start date
Please god no.
For the opening titles I would use a variant of the original Trek theme. This worked well for TNG, because the theme had become a sort of Trek signature.

Agreed. It's iconic, they should go with that.
What about the credits at the end of an episode? More theme music?
I think Harry Gregson-Williams is a super underrated composer, and could very well be the perfect pick for a new Star Trek series.
Anyone who's played the MGS series will know what I mean when I say this guy means business.

I absolutely loath the current trend of heavy, dark and brooding soundtracks. Harry Gregson-Williams, Tom Holkenberg and the like are all protogés of Hans Zimmer, one of the most overrated composers of all time. I hope they don't go down that route.
I for one would suggest they bring back Ron Jones (he's doing the music for Seth McFarlane's animated series). Another television series I watch that has a great soundtrack is The Good Wife by composer David Buckley. He only gets to work with a small orchestra on that show, but give him a larger one and more free reign to write for a scifi show and I think the results be surprisingly great.
Chris Bacon, the composer for Source Code would be another fabulous choice.

I was considering the comments by USS Einstein.....
As I recall, Forbidden Planet used electronic music. (Perhaps there could be a blurring of music/sound effects?) Perhaps such could be a sort of signature for a new Trek series.

Heather Kadin mentioned during an interview that it was Fil Eisler who did the music for the teaser.
I think we have our guy.
Just to get a taste of what else he's done...
