Brève bio :
Alexander "Sandy" Courage, natif de Philadelphie en 1919 (le 10/12), restera célèbre pour avoir co-écrit le thème de la série tv Star Trek avec son co-créateur, Gene Roddenberry. Elevé dans le New Jersey, il obtint un "bachelor's degree" en 1941 à l'école de musique d'Eastman à Rochester (NY). Il a été assigné au travail dans l'armée pendant 5 ans, durant toute la seconde guerre mondiale, et après celle ci, s'est établi à Los Angeles, travaillant comme compositeur/arrangeur sur les émissions "The Camay Hour" et "Sam Spade"
Sa carrière de compositeur démarra véritablement en 1948 par des commandes de la MGM. Il travailla dès lors intensivement sur des musiques de films dont Funny Face, Guys and Dolls, Showboat, The Americanization of Emily, The Pleasure Seekers, Yes, Giorgio, Doctor Dolittle ( vraiment à voir je vous assure ndlr) (1967), My Fair Lady (1964), et Superman (1976). Il reçu alors de nombreuses récompenses (academy awards). Une liste partielle de ses compositions pour la télévision comprend :Wagon Train, Peyton Place, Daniel Boone, The Waltons, Land of the Giants, et Lost in Space.
Il fût l'un des pionniers de la Composers and Lyricists Guild of America, et fit partie de divers organismes musicaux.
Il a cotoyé les plus grands (Williams, Bernstein, Goldsmith...)
(traduction de moi même source music.aol.com)
Anecdote : Roddenberry s'est déclaré comme co-compositeur, non en tant que musicien mais en tant qu'auteur (oui vous lisez bien, c'est lui qui a eu l'idée des "ha haaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaa"....) et toucha donc la moitié des royalties de ce morceau ... Et vu le nombre incalculable de fois où il a été diffusé je vous laisse imaginer le montant... Edifiant, n'est ce pas ? Ca donne envie d'écrire des Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ...
