 Star Trek - Volume 1
The original theme music by Alexander Courage is undoubtedly one of the most well known themes ever penned.
The Cage was a fairly typical original series episode, but Courage's eerie score is considerably more subtle than the norm; lots of plucked guitar, flutes and vaguely mysterious musical effects designed to musically mirror the rather comical looking (intelligent aliens = big bulging head syndrome) Talosians and their mind control.
Courage's music is more typical of television music of the time, with much plinking and melodramatic interludes, but really isn't nearly as interesting as some of the later scores by Sol Kaplan, Jerry Fielding or Gerald Fried.

 Star Trek: The Motion Picture (soundtrack) - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
The first and most influential of the Star Trek film scores, Jerry Goldsmith's introduction to the Star Trek universe is by many considered to be one of the composer's finest works - an effort acknowledged by an Academy Award nomination in 1979.
The key element to this infusion of style, bordering on bizarre, is the utilization of the "Blaster Beam" - a large, metallic instrument, heard first during the Klingon battle and underscoring V'Ger and its mechanical nature.
Clearly the most dynamic and memorable Enterprise theme opening and closing the film, and going on to far surpass Alexander Courage's original Star Trek theme as the sound of the franchise.

 Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
The main titles stated "Music by John Williams"; however, specifically for this soundtrack it is almost absolutely the responsibility of Alexander Courage, who in the same titles appear credited with the following description: "Music Adapted and Conducted by Alexander Courage" (the music for "Superman II" had a title credit in a similar form).
The media was divided in Courage's opinion; however, in particular the arrangements for this film make it worthy of an original release.
Possibly the die hard fans of John Williams' music felt that this sound track had been reclaimed; however, according to my personal opinion, it is preferable to criticize a sound track for its lack of merit than by being a weak arrangement of the original.
