Star Trek (soundtrack)


Star Trek: Music from the Motion Picture is a soundtrack album for the 2009 film Star Trek, composed and arranged by Michael Giacchino. The score was recorded in October 2008 since the film was originally scheduled to be released the following December. It was performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony and Page LA Studio Voices at the Sony Scoring Stage in Culver City, California. The score incorporates the "Theme from Star Trek" by Alexander Courage and Gene Roddenberry.

''The Deluxe Edition''

In 2010, Varèse Sarabande released a greatly expanded 5000-copy limited edition album of the score entitled Star Trek: The Deluxe Edition. Now out of print, the album features many previously unreleased cues, including ones for the fight on the drill and Spock's attempt to save his mother. In addition, there was an accident in the printing of the deluxe edition's CD booklet. A completely different list of orchestra player names was printed by accident, instead of the group that actually performed the score for the film. A correct listing of the orchestra players who actually performed the score can be found, properly credited and listed, in the booklet that came with the original one-disc edition of the soundtrack. In 2019, Varèse Sarabande issued a 1500 limited edition reissue.
Album cues from the original CD are bolded in the following track listing, though the lengths of several of the original CD cues are different.
