NOTE: For brevity's sake, only the liner notes for the three Star Trek selections are provided here.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Klingon Battle

For the first feature film derived from the classic television series, Jerry Goldsmith was recruited to create a lavish score for this epic encounter between the newly refurbished starships U.S.S. ENTERPRISE and a sentient machine. Besides devising a new theme for the pride of the Federation, the composer structured several weird musical motifs to represent the alien probe V'Ger. His barbaric theme for the Klingons would later become the template use by other composers (like James Horner and Ron Jones) in their subsequent Klingon motifs for succeeding STAR TREK films and television series.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
The Visitor

An accident aboard the starship U.S.S. DEFIANT apparently kills Captain Sisko in front of his son Jake. He has, however, been thrown into an alternate universe and over the intervening decades, periodically "visits" Jake for a few moments. This cue, from the episode's finale, is a melancholy variation of the theme when Sisko realizes that Jake has committed suicide in a last ditch attempt to save his father.

Star Trek: First Contact
End Title

The crew of THE NEXT GENERATION must battle the Borg once more when the cyborgs time travel to 21st Century Earth in an attempt to stop Zefram Cochrane from developing warp drive. Jerry Goldsmith incorporated many of his earlier STAR TREK themes on his third outing while developing a wistful new solo horn motif for Earth's first meeting with extraterrestrials. Son Joel Goldsmith (KULL THE CONQUEROR) was brought in to create a portion of the score because of time restrictions. His work included much of the Borg sequences.
