{{Main|Star Trek: Nemesis (soundtrack)}}

The music to ''Star Trek: Nemesis'' was composed and conducted by [[Jerry Goldsmith]], who composed previous entries in the franchise, such as the [[Academy Award]]-nominated score for ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture]]'', ''[[Star Trek V: The Final Frontier]]'', ''[[Star Trek: First Contact]]'', and ''[[Star Trek: Insurrection]]'', as well as the themes to the television series ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' (arranged by [[Dennis McCarthy (composer)|Dennis McCarthy]]) and ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]''. He had also scored both of Baird's previous films, ''[[Executive Decision]]'' and ''[[U.S. Marshals (film)|U.S. Marshals]]''. ''Nemesis'' was one of the final works written before Goldsmith's death in 2004.

The score opens with airy synthesizers under a trumpet performing an [[augmented triad]] before preceding into [[Alexander Courage]]'s ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' fanfare. The score then quickly transitions into a much darker theme to accompany the conflict between the [[Romulan#Remus|Remans]] and [[Romulan]]s. Goldsmith also composed a new 5-note theme to accompany the character [[Shinzon]] and the ''Scimitar'', which is manipulated throughout the score to reflect the multiple dimensions of the character. The score is book-ended with Goldsmith's theme from ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture]]'', following a brief excerpt from the song "[[Blue Skies (Irving Berlin song)|Blue Skies]]" by [[Irving Berlin]] and the original ''Star Trek'' fanfare.<ref name="Filmtracks">{{Cite web | last = Clemmensen |first= Christian |url=http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/star_trek10.html |title=''Star Trek Nemesis'' soundtrack review | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110122180515/http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/star_trek10.html |archive-date=January 22, 2011 |work=[[Filmtracks.com]] |url-status=live |access-date=April 1, 2021 }}</ref>
