There was a discussion on TrekBBS about soundtracks and unreleased or unused cues to the movies. I have some expanded scores, and I thought I might edit such unused cues to the scenes they were written for.
I did just that today. If you'll click on the following link to a video on YouTube which mates an unused cue to its scene in TMP, you'll be able to see one.
In this clip the indicated section featured no music in the final film.
I believe this music was arranged by Alexander Courage, using his own original Star Trek TV theme, and then using Jerry Goldsmith's motion picture themes.
I did my best to make a crude sound mix...but without access to the different channels (dialogue, effects, etc.), it's hard to make it an "accurate" representation of how it would sound.
The full cue I have starts off with the TOS Captain's log theme, then goes to the Warp 1 attempt (up to the wormhole), then finishes with this final Warp 7 piece.
I apologize for the odball aspect ratio of the film. When I output that scene something went a little wonky.

Cool! Friend of mine just got the LD of the theatrical cut (or non- Director's Cut, or whatever). Wonder whether the scene went longer in that version. It's not a lot of music, but still great to hear it. Thanks!
(ps lemme know if you ever need some video help/advice)

It's a cue that was recorded for the film. Just that portion from the "Warp point 7" through "Warp 6" was not used in the film.
I got a set of "expanded score" files for TMP like 5 years ago from a now-defunct website.

Due to numerous requests, I've rebuilt the video containing the unused segment of the "Warp Point Nine" cue so that it now includes one pass of the footage with dialogue and sound effects, and then repeats the relevant footage with only the music, so you can hear it better.
I also updated the title cards for the clip to properly identify the composer (Goldsmith) and arranged (Steiner).
Again, I apologize for the oddball aspect ratio of the film. When I output that scene something went a little wonky.
Enjoy!
P.S. I'm going to delete the old video from YouTube since this one is better and more accurate.
