Bernard Herrmann
Bernard Herrmann was an American composer and conductor best known for his work in film scoring. As a conductor, he championed the music of lesser-known composers. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest film composers. Alex Ross writes that "Over four decades, he revolutionized movie scoring by abandoning the illustrative musical techniques that dominated Hollywood in the 1930s and imposing his own peculiar harmonic and rhythmic vocabulary." As a young man, Herrmann was the chief conductor of the CBS Symphony Orchestra, which led him to become the composer for Orson Welles's The Mercury Theater on the Air. This led him to write his first film score, for Welles's Citizen Kane. That year, he won the Academy Award for Best Original Score for The Devil and Daniel Webster. He worked with Welles on The Magnificent Ambersons and Jane Eyre. He is best known for his work with Alfred Hitchcock, with whom he worked on nine films including The Man Who Knew Too Much, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, The Birds and Marnie. His other credits include Anna and the King of Siam, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Cape Fear, Fahrenheit 451 and Twisted Nerve. From Wikipedia (
