Star Trek
The opening fanfare of "Star Trek: The Original Series", written by Alexander Courage, is one of the most culturally-recognized musical memes in existence. Also included as the opening fanfare to "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and the "Star Trek" film series, it has come to iconically symbolize "Star Trek" to even the casual viewer. Michael Giacchino has written a well-received distinctive new fanfare for the reboot "Star Trek" movie and its sequels, "Star Trek Into Darkness" and "Star Trek Beyond".
