* ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'':
** Most of the music in the game is merely okay. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G0BSdpj-3s And then you start fighting Romulans]].
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_INzWxfJ8mo main theme]] starts off with a classic ''Trek'' feel, then halfway through kicks off into a rousing orchestra piece that makes you want to jump into your ship and take on the whole galaxy.
** ''Legacy of Romulus'' has a '''truckload''' of great music, as befits its status as the game's GrowingTheBeard expansion pack. Particular highlights:
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDoOdxBrhW0 The primary theme for New Romulus.]] You'll hear this primarily in the Staging Area, but you can hear it anywhere, since it's ''long''.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDnaFF8a4u4 The "Virinat theme"]] greets newbie Romulans and is the theme of the colony while it's at peace. Later on, it also serves as cruising/ambient music for when you're doing various heroic things as a Romulan character - since you never forgot Virinat and are carrying on its legacy.
*** The already awesome Romulan battle theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa6lgLQ79Ro gets new variations]] that are usually played when fighting the Tal Shiar or Elachi as a Romulan.
** The 2017 First Contact Day probably gave players the best music to launch model Phoenix Warp Rockets to: Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride", the same song used in ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact''.
* ''VideoGame/StarTrekStarfleetCommand'':
** The soundtrack of the first game was composed by Ron Jones, who was fired from ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' [[WhatAnIdiot because the producers thought his music was "too epic".]] Highlights include the badass [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAQaOYWX82I Romulan march]], the tribal-retro [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQddUINNyHg Lyran theme]], and pretty much [[https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E5BBA150F52D8A88 everything else.]]
* ''TabletopGame/AKlingonChallenge'': The game actually manages to have better music than a lot of contemporary ''Star Trek'' episodes. Stand-outs include the theme played when Kavok beams aboard the ''Enterprise'' and hijacks the ship, and the ''Film/{{Jaws}}''-like theme that slowly builds up in intensity as the ''Enterprise'' approaches the Klingon homeworld during the final five or so minutes of the game.

[[folder: Television Series]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B594jsKbsss The theme]] to ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. Majestic, surreal, futuristic, adventurous and deserving its iconic status.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hseFdKcCD4 The theme]] of ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'' might be the most upbeat theme ''Star Trek'' have ever had.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXNRkn7oTG0 The Klingon Battle Theme]] heard throughout the movies and, on occasion, in the series as well. It's so epic, you'd want to say "QAPLA!"
* Ron Jones' score for the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' epic "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E26S4E1TheBestOfBothWorlds The Best of Both Worlds]]" is some of the best Trek music [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRjiZZyD7n4 ever]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbbNn0yPJs0 composed]].
** The ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZNNoVBUjvM main theme]] is basically the theme to ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' preceded by a beautiful rendition of the Alexander Courage fanfare.
** The moment when Picard says "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q6jZC1sn1A#t=88s magnify]]" cues ''the'' creepiest, most-spine-chilling music ever heard in a ''Star Trek'' production. Creator/GeneRoddenberry's dream, say hello to Creator/GeorgeOrwell's nightmare. And it will never be topped...ever: they even made [[CreatorsPet Wesley]] just another character who you'd pity if he was Assimilated Into The Hive Mind.
** His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIQxoVY3SzU theme for the Romulans]] is deliciously sinister.
** "Mister Worf. Fire." Add in the fan rumors that Creator/PatrickStewart was looking to leave the show at the time, and you had one of the biggest "Oh, shit is ON!" moments of all time. (They completely torpedoed it at the start of the second half, but... there's a reason it's called the best cliffhanger of the series.)
** One of the most touching episodes of TNG, "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E25TheInnerLight The Inner Light]]", has a beautiful flute score composed by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=606Vk2iSFNk Jay Chattaway]]. The music by itself is almost enough to make you cry on its own, but when combined with the story, it's overwhelming. A fan-created [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3pOkhU9iYM 40th anniversary tribute video]] used the "Inner Light" music very effectively.
* The (first) ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]]'' ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsOE73pxpys here]]) and ''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'' ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXCP6lJkDZU here]]) themes are contemplative yet memorable. As a matter of fact, they won the 1993 and 1995 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music, respectively, and ''Voyager'''s has been called the most beautiful opening theme of the whole franchise.
* All the fan hate aside, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0azMOJ-h_o Faith of the Heart]]" (the ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' theme song) ''is'' a brilliant song.
** What was ''[[ExecutiveMeddling supposed]]'' to be the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RAuU9URKY4 original opening theme]] ''was'' good too, however.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk1NK8AXepk Mirror Universe opening theme]] makes up for it and then some. If they had that as the theme for the whole series, it would have been awesome.
* ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'':
** After the infamous "[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Faith of the Heart]]", we're back with a [[https://youtu.be/wX1byq2C9ng fully orchestral theme]] for ''Discovery'', one with a whimsical melody that calls the TOS theme to mind.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxMJ5jWrc4o "black alert" theme]], which plays most times Discovery fires up its spore drive, is a sign that something awesome is about to happen.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXGNNtCmIz4 Terran Empire's]] {{Leitmotif}} is regal and oppressive, very fitting for TheEmpire.
** The [[https://youtu.be/3Sj3LLpV-Jk season one finale]] ends with a GLORIOUS rendition of the TOS theme. Likewise, the [[https://youtu.be/ABM-FRlvKsU Season 2 finale]] weaves them together over the credits.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': Despite being an Animated WorkCom parody, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJI9yHVVAP4 the theme song]] isn't any less epic than others.

[[folder: Films]]
* The five incredibly awesome end credits by Music/JerryGoldsmith which also served as concert suites:
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YgRCF1e5A0 Star Trek: The Motion Picture]]''. When it comes to popularity, the inventiveness of the instrumentation, the epic grandeur of the scoring and the benefits of modern recording, this is quite simply Goldsmith's greatest score.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-LAAks_OlQ Star Trek V: The Final Frontier]]''. Another hugely enjoyable Goldsmith score in which the main theme sandwiches the Klingon theme. Goldsmith even utilizes a wailing electronic ram's horn to emulate the distinctive scream of a large bird for the villains' bird-of-prey.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI8jdDMg4ZI Star Trek: Insurrection]]''. This pretty and unassuming theme sandwiched in the middle is a sweet little thing, reminiscent of the kind of lofty strings and woodwind in ''{{Film/Rudy}}'' and several other tender Goldsmith character scores, perfectly evoking the bucolic idyll of the film's locale. (Watch out, he's got an oboe and he's not afraid to use it!)
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1H_OwK9r5s Star Trek: First Contact]]''. Just the noble and uplifting horn theme bristling with awe inspiring thoughtful woodwinds and strings must surely rank as the most moving musical moment in any of the ''Star Trek'' films. Acknowledged by the maestro himself as his best ''Star Trek'' score.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgnYU0o7aQ4 Star Trek: Nemesis]]''. The maestro's [[Film/StarTrekNemesis last venture]] to the Star Trek franchise, where "Blue Skies" is heard on a piano, and it slowly builds up into a full blown ''Star Trek'' March.
* Music/JamesHorner almost manages to top Goldsmith with the scores for ''Film/{{Star Trek II|The Wrath of Khan}}'' and ''[[Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock III]]''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s5lQ-bGe6c "Stealing the Enterprise"]] is AWESOME!
** Oh, and listen to "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeS0Eo8fAnw Enterprise Clears Moorings]]", too.
** No mention of ''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan TWOK]]'' is complete without [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KilBvojsMdw "Battle in the Mutara Nebula"]]. Particularly at 0:55, 1:56, and 2:05.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1PejM57F8s "Genesis Countdown"]], whose motif at 0:49 was so awesome, it got recycled into "Stealing the Enterprise" in the next film. To say nothing of his little homage to Ligeti's "Atmospheres" at 4:32.
** ''Wrath of Khan'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoit0OdKt-I Surprise Attack]], particularly the cellos at 3:22 onwards - the track gives an utter sense of terror and dread at being ambushed.
* ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'':
** James Horner is a genius for knowing when ''not'' to bomb us with orchestration. The silence during the climactic chase in the nebula is [[NothingIsScarier downright frightening!]] Which of course makes the actual orchestral bombing all the more satisfying when ''Enterprise'' gets the jump on ''Reliant'' and the climactic battle begins in earnest.
** They couldn't afford to bring back Music/JerryGoldsmith for the sequel, so they took a chance on an up-and-comer named Music/JamesHorner... who [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxEl_fBlXWU proceeded]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeS0Eo8fAnw to]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KilBvojsMdw kick]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1PejM57F8s ASS.]] As Nicholas Meyer would say, he hired Music/JamesHorner because he couldn't afford Music/JerryGoldsmith; but by the time they made ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'', Horner had become so successful that he hired Cliff Eidelman because he couldn't afford Horner.
** There are long stretches ''without'' music, and the negative space really has an impact too. Of the 113 minute runtime, only 100 minutes have music in them. (The 13 minutes of the score that weren't included in the original soundtrack release were the Genesis Project Film music, and the horror style moments with the Ceti eel and the search of the Reliant.)
* ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'': Was there a more in-series triumphant moment than immediately after "We have cleared space doors"? Triumphant, yet chilling, knowing what fate lies ahead for the ''Enterprise''.
* ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'':
** Leonard Rosenman's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJzt_ZbNQOk opening theme]] contains snippets from his score from ''WesternAnimation/TheLordOfTheRings''.
** "[[https://youtu.be/odYI7sm4FWA Home Again]]", featuring a gorgeous rendition of the TOS theme for The Reveal of the ''Enterprise''-A.
* ''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier'':
** The score by Music/JerryGoldsmith. He returned after 10 years and gave it his full orchestra treatment. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2iUHRBg-5E The Mountain]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na76Mrl89Rs A Busy Man]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kmu-aO5yxM Cosmic Thoughts]]
** Creator/NichelleNichols' cover of Hiroshima's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvTwqcGZhAE The Moon's a Window to Heaven]]" is very good, too. [[FanDisservice The fan dance, not so much.]]
* ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'':
** While most of the soundtrack is just all right, Cliff Eidelman's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT-wunjnEXA Overture]] piece, played during the opening credits qualifies simply because it builds to a climax that is topped off with Praxis exploding. The Overture was used as a temp track on the 2002 ''Film/SpiderMan1'', for when the Green Goblin first makes his appearance over Times Square. It's a go-to temp track for picture editors who need a low ominous build. Director Nicholas Meyer had wanted Music/JamesHorner to return as composer, but the production could not afford him. Meyer is reported as saying that Horner was hired for ''The Wrath of Khan'' because they couldn't afford Music/JerryGoldsmith, but Horner had become such an in-demand composer in the interim that they couldn't afford Horner for this film!
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r-GudqSdw4 Clear All Moorings]]" is a light, warm piece as the old crew of the ''Enterprise'' enjoy one last launch, the music swelling as Scotty watches the impulse engines humming.
** The sweeping music that plays as Kirk, [=McCoy=], and Martia make their way across [[SceneryPorn Rura Penthe.]]
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhLlezUNB3I The Battle for Peace]]" accompanies the entire battle over Khitomer. In particular, the slow but steady build up in the track as the ''Enterprise'' takes more and more damage, and Spock and [=McCoy=] are desperately trying to finish modifying the torpedo to take out Chang's modified Bird-of-Prey.
* Regardless of how one feels about ''Film/StarTrekGenerations'', it is hard to deny that the score, one of composer Dennis [=McCarthy=]'s few cinematic offerings, is first-rate. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooIUtXEuTYQ Here's the main theme]].
* ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'':
** Music/JerryGoldsmith (and his son Music/JoelGoldsmith, scoring alongside Jerry for the only time) firing on all cylinders. Particularly the film's unforgettable "First Contact" theme, which is a reworking of the theme the last ''Trek'' film he worked for (''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier'').
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM1X2TcGMb4 Red Alert]]" is just one ThemeMusicPowerUp after another.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEJZeh9U-xI The Dish]]" reworks the Borg theme over and over to new heights of awesome.
** Plus Cochrane blasting Steppenwolf's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4WiyxXpyZc Magic Carpet Ride]]" across the base as the Phoenix lifts off.
* ''Film/StarTrekInsurrection'': The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QigWNr2bS0k theme]] for the [[BigBad Son'a]] is just ''grand'' and ''epic''.
* ''Film/StarTrek2009'':
** The main theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO1FZEUbZJE Enterpising Young Man]]", especially in the opening credits. Something about that crystalline, somber yet uplifting horn solo sends chills down your spine every time.
** Especially the brief variation that plays on the drill platform when Sulu whips out his folding katana, throws off his helmet, and looks ready to rumble.
** Creator/MichaelGiacchino's work for ''Film/StarTrek2009'' contains many, ''many'' notable examples of orchestral awesomeness, such as the beautifully heart-rending "Labor of Love" (played during George Kirk's HeroicSacrifice), "Hella Bar Talk" (Kirk contemplating his future before joining Starfleet), "Enterprising Young Men" (accompanying the shot of the alternate-reality ''Enterprise'' in spacedock) and, most of all, his glorious rendition of the classic ''Trek'' theme in "End Credits."
* ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'':
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9nJspo7yKo John Harrison/Khan's theme]] is a beautiful song that goes darker as it progresses.
** Special mention goes to the ultimate TearJerker, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28mu6J6tvBc "Buying the Space Farm"]].
* ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'':
** Aside from Music/BeastieBoys's "Sabotage", there's Creator/MichaelGiacchino's "Night on the Yorktown", a beautiful track that compliments the introduction of the Yorktown Starbase and its wonderful visuals.
** Music/{{Rihanna}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXhIT4MpRis Sledgehammer]] is a chilly electropop song that plays during the closing credits.

* ''AwesomeMusic/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock''

----

* ''AwesomeMusic/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''

* ''Series/StarTrekPicard'':
** The low-key, beautiful reprise of the ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]]'' theme perfectly sets the mood for the show.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nWET85Iu9A&t=1m31s dark, modernized take]] on the Romulan theme from the ''TOS'' episode "Balance of Terror" that's first heard during the final scene of "Remembrance."
** When ''La Sirena'' warps away from Earth, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldqdv9HdNOc the BGM]] is a huge "HesBack" for Jean-Luc Picard, especially as the familiar ''Star Trek'' theme plays when Picard gives his trademark hand gesture and {{catchphrase}}: "Engage."
** The low-key reprise of the ''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'' theme that plays in "Stardust City Rag" when Seven and Picard say good-bye.
** The triumphant reprise of the ''TNG'' theme that plays when [[TheCavalry Starfleet warps in]] to stop the Romulan assault on Coppelius. It sets the stage perfectly for the shot that follows: Captain William T. Riker in the center seat of the USS ''Zheng He'', commanding the fleet and ready to kick some treacherous Tal Shiar ass.
** The beautiful, haunting cover version of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWQrQJCxBYQ Blue Skies]]" by Creator/IsaBriones is the mourning song when [[spoiler:Data's consciousness dies]] in "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2", and it's arguably the saddest, most touching scene of Season 1 for longtime Trek fans.

* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' is a treasure trove of wonderfully over-the-top music, starting with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGnTfg-MUhs main theme]].
** The tense music in the closing moments of the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "The Doomsday Machine" is kickass, as is the swirling arrangement of the main theme used at the beginning of the teaser.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl45bhzneJM Vina's Dance]]. The original anthem for the GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe.
** Gerald Fried's brooding cello theme first heard in "Amok Time" (also played on electric guitar) does as much as anything else in defining the character of Spock. The iconic "Kirk Fight Music" was composed for the same episode and is probably the second most famous music cue for the series, after the main theme itself, having popped up in numerous other media.
** Any episode scored by George Duning (e.g. "The Empath"). In fact, it can be argued that what salvages the generally weak third season is the lush, mystical music contributed both by Duning and primary composer Fred Steiner (whose eerie score for "Spock's Brain" is so much better than the episode itself it's almost tragic).
** Likewise, the two contributions by Sol Kaplan (the sinister "The Enemy Within" and the thrilling "The Doomsday Machine") stands as some of the finest music ever composed for ''Star Trek''. Both scores were ''constantly'' reused in later episodes, such was their potency and effectiveness.
* La-La Land issuing ''[[http://www.startrek.com/article/15-cd-tos-soundtrack-collection-due-out-this-fall all of the original series's scores]]'' in one box set is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in itself.
