Biography

Less well known today than a John Williams or an Ennio Morricone, due to his death in 1975 and the lack of public interest in film music composers at the time, Bernard Herrmann was nonetheless the author of some of cinema's most distressing themes. A naked girl, a shower curtain, the spindly figure of Mrs. Bates slowly approaching with dagger in hand on subjective camera, while the shrill, jerky melody of Psycho plays... A now legendary scene that has thrilled the hearts of millions of filmgoers worldwide. As Alfred Hitchcock's official composer, Herrmann helped make the master of suspense's cinematic universe unique.
