Dennis McCarthy

Dennis McCarthy (born 1945) is a composer who has written many Star Trek-related musical scores, including the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine main title theme, and the Star Trek: Enterprise end credits theme (he wrote the original theme for Star Trek: The Next Generation, but it was deemed unsatisfactory and thrown out in favor of Jerry Goldsmith's theme for Star Trek: The Motion Picture). He also composed the music in Star Trek Generations. He has also been the composer of many episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise. He scored the pilots and finales of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Enterprise.

He was nominated for nine Emmy Awards for his work, winning in the "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Main Title Theme Music" category for his Deep Space Nine title theme. He also won (or shared) nine ASCAP Awards, all for "Top TV Series" except for his award for Star Trek Generations, which won in the "Top Box Office Films" category.
