Unused Music Question

Methuselah Flint

Hi all,

Does anyone have a complete list of all unused music that appeared on the TOS boxset? I'm referring not to library music, but music specifically written for an episode, that was then substituted or dropped.

I know of:

The Man Trap: Conference. Also, I think just after Green jumps in the turbolift after Rand, there's more music that didn't make it to the final cut.
Catspaw: opening/closing titles
Wolf in the Fold: dance music
The Enterprise Incident: Kirk awakening in sickbay
Elaan of Troyius: when Elaan runs into the bathroom and locks it, I notice on the boxset there's a little extra music to round the track off.

Any others?
 
There's a Romulan piece in "Balance of Terror" that went unused in the episode. It was later tracked in "The Alternative Factor" when Lazarus starts an electrical fire in Engineering.

Also, "The Paradise Syndrome" has some music that was not heard in the series at all.
 
I've just tracked the full conference music onto the briefing room scene in The Man Trap. It really alters the feel of the scene. Makes it eerie and creepy, and emphasises the creature's presence in the room, in the form of McCoy.
