How come they never used ST2 music again?
As I sit listening to my ST2 MP3s, I must ask- why have we never heard the theme again, but we have to put with the 'standard' Trek theme far more often? Who gets to decide, and why haven't they been fired?

Maybe the fact that we do hear it again in Krull, and to a lesser extent in Aliens, has something to do with it. I like Horner's music, but the man rips himself off entirely too much.

Horner's not the only example. Danny Elfman's theme of "Making Christmas" from The Nightmare Before Christmas appears briefly during the second Batman vs. Circus Gang sequence in Batman Returns.Bob the Gunslinger wrote:Maybe the fact that we do hear it again in Krull, and to a lesser extent in Aliens, has something to do with it.

Because Horner was never invited back.Vympel wrote:As I sit listening to my ST2 MP3s, I must ask- why have we never heard the theme again, but we have to put with the 'standard' Trek theme far more often? Who gets to decide, and why haven't they been fired?
Actualy you did hear elements of this music again. James Horner did Star Trek 2 and Star Trek 3. As it is Jerry Goldsmith did 5 of the movies and his music had the greatest influence. Also something to consider. While Horner has his own unique way of doing things (you can hear similar themes reused very effectively) in TWOK he took the Trek theme and altered it.
