But yeah, after that he was effectively replaced by Jay Chattaway, and he and Dennis McCarthy's scores in seasons 5-7 were almost universally bland and boring ("The Inner Light" being a pretty big exception). It continued through pretty much all of DS9 and Voyager too; a shame, because otherwise Star Trek was well known for the work of its composers.

The music from TOS was practically a character in the show. I still break out the Ponn Far fight music if there is a disagreement between myself and a friend if it doesn't look like anything will be resolved without ritual combat.
