With several Academy Award nominations under his belt, he has worked on such projects as <I>Funny Face</I>, <I>Guys and Dolls</I>, <I>Dr. Doolittle</I>, <I>My Fair Lady</I>, and <I>Superman IV: the Quest for Peace</i>. But his greatest triumph as a composer is without question his brilliant theme music to the original <i>Star Trek</i> television series. From the eerie soundscapes accompanying the Talosian threat to the soft-lensed exoticism accompanying the green skinned Vena's dance to the loungy optimism of the main title, Courage created a soundtrack to accompany the lives and fantasies of countless sci-fi geeks. And given the number of Trekkies roaming the planet, that is quite a legacy to leave. - Doug RussellTV Soundtracksen720Thu, 10 Dec 2009 05:04:13 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3678&rws=%2Falexander-courage%2Fmusic-videos.rss Though certainly not a household name like Jon Williams or Jerry Goldsmith, this composer of film and television soundtracks has had a long and colorful career.
