Star Trek has featured some of the most iconic theme songs of all time, generally scoring the final frontier with thrilling orchestral marches. From the very beginning, with Star Trek: The Original Series, the music was an important part of the show. And while the types of music used to score the actual episodes has evolved over the years, the theme song remains consistent - in all but one case, an orchestral composition laid atop a title sequence listing the main cast members.
10 Star Trek: Discovery Star Trek: Discovery, the adventures of mutineer-turned-Captain Michael Burnham , borrows a bit of Alexander Courage's iconic fanfare before twisting the melody slightly and storming off into new territory. Jeff Russo's theme is propulsive and pretty, but apart from the Courage flourishes, it feels like it could be the theme song to any CBS legal drama. It's a song that could soundtrack multiple relatively mundane scenarios, but maybe not a space epic.
7 Star Trek: Picard The surprise return of Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: Picard was again given its theme song by composer Jeff Russo. It's a lovely, twinkling, slightly sad theme, as violins swirl around the signature flute piece, an homage to Picard's experience in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Inner Light.
4 Star Trek: Picard Star Trek: Picard season 3 made some sweeping changes to the series, most notably putting Admiral Picard back on a Federation starship and reuniting him with his command crew from the USS Enterprise-D. The show's music also made a change; the opening credits were moved to the end of each episode, and Jeff Russo's theme was replaced by a new arrangement of the late Jerry Goldsmith's main theme from Star Trek: First Contact.
