OFFICIAL COMPOSER SITE:
Bernard Herrmann Bernard
Herrmann (1911-1975) was one of the movies' greatest musical dramatists.
He had the remarkable ability to see a film, imagine its musical
possibilities, and translate them into a compelling dramatic score
that enhanced and often deepened the story being told.
For fifteen years in the late 1950s and the 1960s, television
also benefited from Herrmann's genius. Much of that work was accomplished
under the auspices of the television and radio arm of the Columbia
Broadcasting System. Starting in late 1956, Bernard Herrmann received
several television commissions from CBS.
Herrmann was, when he wrote most of this music, at a high point
in his cinema career, between scores for Alfred Hitchcock ("The
Man Who Knew Too Much" was behind him, "Vertigo"
just ahead) and the great Ray Harryhausen fantasy films (he would
soon embark on "Seventh Voyage of Sinbad").
