No one can be expected to know the names of all those involved with Star Trek. It's sad that he died, though, and may he rest in peace.

True, but Goldsmith was one of the big ones in both the entertainment and Star Trek industry. You ought to have known of his work with Star Trek.

Are we sure he's actually dead? Anyone use Pain Sticks?

Is there anyone sober here? I want to honor Goldschmitt, in some way proper. I liked Klingon Theme, and picard's flute theme makes me misty (it's alright, I'm secure in my manhood).
To the smith. *clink*

He "ought" to have known nothing. Don't chastise someone for not nerdily knowing each and every little Star Trek-related human being on the planet.

Thing is it's not like he was 2nd grip on episode 52 of Star Trek: Voyager or something. Goldsmith was the composer of 5/10 Star trek films. He had something like 200-300 scores recorded/filmed/written in his career.
He wrote the Klingon theme. (Nice as it is, he didn't write Picard's flute theme... but you may have just been mentioning in the same sentence UM )
If you want to know more get Star Trek: 5 soundtrack - it's usually VERY cheap. People think cause it's the 'worst' movie (actually does Nemesis now hold that title) everything about it is bad - but the Score (and yes I've said this before) for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is the BEST of them all.
I was driving home this evening and flipping through radio stations and came to one of the classical stations (ABC Classic FM for those in Australia who care). And I caught the LAST note of something from Star Trek (I'm guessing it is Ilia's Theme from TMP) but they actually played TREK on the classical radiostation!! The host was featuring Jerry Goldsmith for the hour or half hour. So she played some stuff from Star Trek (Could have been more than just the one track I partially heard) and stuff from "The Omen" - the only film he won an Academy Award for. He was nominated 17 times. He SO should have won more than just one, anyway that's life.) Actually what one in the same year as The Motion Picture? That's a pretty good score. Does anyone know the Academy Award history of the Trek Movies?
Anyway - for my own Tribute I'm going to play the Albums of his that I have - well at least the Trek ones. MAINLY, TMP (20th ann. ed. and TFF.)

Dr. Daystrom died!?! *shakes head* - actually that rings a faint bell. Actually so does Dr. M'Benga - was he like another Doctor on the Enterprise apart from McCoy?
Actually the Voyager theme has been so far one of the BEST television themes ever written. In terms of musicality and class - maybe not, like widespread recall/catchiness.
