Production Profiles: Bernard Herrmann

American composer Bernard Herrmann is most remembered for his
spooky, suspenseful film scores in collaboration with directors
including Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, and Rod Serling. From
the shower scene in "Psycho" to some of our favorite episodes of
"The Twilight Zone," Herrmann was a master at creating dramatic
tension and character development through music. We'll talk about
some of his most memorable pieces, his early use of the theremin,
and modern composers who still adapt Herrmann's work today.
