===Music=== The musical score to ''StarCraft'' was composed by Blizzard Entertainment's composers. Glenn Stafford composed the Terran and Protoss in-game themes, while Derek Duke, who was a contracted composer at the time, wrote all the in-game music for the Zerg. The cinematic scores were composed by Stafford and Hayes. Hayes also collaborated with Stafford on one of the Protoss in-game tracks. Tracy W. Bush provided additional support in composing.<ref name="soundtrack1">{{cite web|url=http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=71169 |title=''StarCraft'' |publisher=Soundtrack Collector |access-date=April 22, 2008 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060516200556/http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=71169 |archive-date=May 16, 2006 }}</ref> The musical score of the game was received well by reviewers, who have described it as "appropriately melodic and dark"<ref name="GSpot"/> and "impressive",<ref name="GameProN64"/> with one reviewer noting that some of the music owed much of its inspiration to [[Jerry Goldsmith]]'s score for the film ''[[Alien (film)|Alien]]''.<ref name="GamePro"/> The first official game soundtrack, ''StarCraft: Game Music Vol. 1'', was released in 2000, comprising tracks from both ''StarCraft'' and ''[[StarCraft: Brood War|Brood War]]'', as well as a sizable portion of remix tracks and music inspired by ''StarCraft'', created by several South Korean disc jockeys. The soundtrack was distributed by Net Vision Entertainment.<ref name="soundtrack2">{{cite web|url=http://www.game-ost.com/info.php?id=450 |title=''StarCraft'': Game Music Vol. 1 |publisher=Game OST |access-date=April 22, 2008 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110429004806/http://www.game-ost.com/info.php?id=450 |archive-date=April 29, 2011 }}</ref> In September 2008, Blizzard Entertainment announced that a second soundtrack, ''StarCraft Original Soundtrack'', had been released on [[iTunes]].
