Assuming that the new 25th century Star Trek continuation series gets green lit, what would you wish for in regards to the musical score, or maybe even the theme/title music itself?
I think that the score should be recognisably ‘Star Trek’ though be fun, upbeat, adventurous and slightly bombastic, almost like it was in the early TNG days, but with a modern 21st century spin. For example, I believe that the unused alternate Star Trek: The Next Generation theme, which I think was composed by Jerry Goldsmith and/or Dennis McCarthy, would be ideal for the new series title music. Of course, it would need to be remixed slightly and modernised. There is precedent for Star Trek using old musical scores from the back catalogue, most notably in The Next Generation reuse of The Motion Picture theme and Picard season 3 using the First Contact main title music. It would be a waste not to use this little Star Trek gem at some point.
The music in Star Trek has always set the series apart from other shows in my opinion, I am very disappointed when the music is generic and could be part of any TV action show.
