  The Bernard Herrmann Society   (Site not responding. Last check: )
From his first film (Citizen Kane) to his last (Taxi Driver), Herrmann was a master at evoking psychological nuance and dramatic tension through music, often using unheard-of instrumental combinations to suit the the dramatic needs of a film.
As complex as any character in the films he scores, Herrmann remains a creative genius, an indefagitable musicologist, an explosive bully, a generous and compassionate man who desperately sought friendship and love.

  Bernard Herrmann - film score composer
There are not many composers who have appeared on the film screen (coincidentally Truffaut's frequent composer partner Georges Delerue has done so in "Shoot the Pianist"), but Bernard Herrmann played the part of the conductor in the climax of Hitchcock's film "The Man Who Knew Too Much" set in the Royal Albert Hall.
For Vertigo it is the arpeggios moving in different directions at the same time which seem to be most closely identified with the movie and its title, yet most of the soundtrack is infused with a number of related motifs which together constitute James Stewart's fascination for a woman - a theme of doomed love.
Bernard Herrmann also had an association with the stop motion films of Ray Harryhausen, writing scores for his The Three Worlds of Gulliver, Jason and the Argonauts, Mysterious Island, and The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad.

 Sound in Psycho
Although Hermann was clearly not the sort who easily took direction, the composer was to follow closely Hitchcock's dictates as to the music cues for the opening third of Psycho- with a single, unforgettable exception.
For Psycho, Bernard Hermann was to concoct nothing less than a cello and violin masterwork, "fl and white" music that throbbed sonorously as often as it gnawed at the nerve endings.
The score would prove to be a summation of all of Hermann's previous scores for Hitchcock's films, conveying as it did the sense of the abyss that is the human psyche, dread, longing, regret  in short, the wellsprings of the Hitchcock universe.

 NewMusicbox
Bernard Hermann's composing was prolific and memorable through the late 50's, some say due to his relationship with Alfred Hitchcock.
However, Hermann did not see himself or his work as an extension of the director and stated that he disliked the term "film composer," since music for film was only one part of a musician's output.
Hermann used only strings for the entire Psycho soundtrack, since the budget did not allow for a full orchestra.

 The 3 Worlds of Gulliver (Soundtrack) by Bernard Herrmann
Hermann's score is full of cheerful character delivering its own brand of musical magic.
Despite composing a majority of music that is uplifting, Hermann reminds the listener, and maybe himself, of the dark intensity he is capable of.
Hermann's two-week project, as re-recorded and made available some 40 years later, delivers all the heart and passion that one could ask for - and does so with dignity and character.
