Nicholas Meyer initially wished to use Gustav Holst's "The Planets" as the music for this film, but found that this would cost far too much in royalties and be far too tedious to edit into the film. He then asked James Horner, a composer to whom he gave his big break with Star Trek II - L'ira di Khan (1982), to return and wrap up the original series. Horner stated his career had outgrown "Star Trek" and declined. Meyer then went to Jerry Goldsmith, who flatly refused after the failure of Star Trek V - L'ultima frontiera (1989). Finally, Meyer asked for demo tapes to be submitted, and he chose the theme of unknown composer Cliff Eidelman because this combined the best of "The Planets" with the styles of Horner and Goldsmith, while still sounding "fresh and original".
