Alexander Courage, 88, a Hollywood composer, arranger and orchestrator who dashed off what he called a piece of "marvelous malarkey" that became one of the best-known television theme songs, the opening music for "Star Trek," died May 15 at the Sunrise assisted-living facility in Pacific Palisades, Calif., after strokes.
Mr. Courage had worked on nearly 100 films since the late 1940s, including many of MGM Studios' celebrated musicals: "The Band Wagon," "Funny Face," "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," "Gigi," "My Fair Lady" and "Oklahoma!"
