TOS Music - Looking For A Piece

I noticed that not too many people talk about the original series music on here. I think it is fascinating music, very well done for it's time. I am looking for a particular piece however. I do own lots of the original music or re-recorded stuff. I bought all of the GNP Crescendo discs and the Symphonic Star Trek discs. I also bought the Best Of discs to get the snippets from there (worth it for Balance of Terror)
There is one piece missing, which I was hoping someone on here could direct me to. I do believe it was first used at the end of Part 1 of The Menagerie when it says "to be continued...".
It has lots of drums and a building string section which would indicate tension. The drum piece was used very effectively in Arena as well, when Kirk is dodging bombs etc.
It is also used many times over the show's run. I do not have this piece but hope people on here could help me out. Thank you very much! If someone does have it maybe I could trade. I have a very good collection of original series music and have extended or fully complete soundtracks from all of the films, Next Gen included. Thank you all.

Thank you very much Wingley. I already have this CD, just never listened through that suite all the way through. Could not remember it being used before in that episode. I guess that completes my quest. Is there any pieces of Trek music from the films you might want for helping me out?
 
If it's the cue I remember it being, then it was composed by Fred Steiner for "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" and tracked into the other episodes. If you listen carefully, you can tell that the melody playing on horns is a variation on the romantic theme used for Andrea in "Little Girls."
