Music For The Movies: Bernard Herrmann - 1992 - 7/10

From Citizen Kane (1941) to Taxi Driver (1976).
Overview of extraordinarily gifted, if testy, composer and conductor.
Herrmann was one who broke with the style of compositions derived from the European Romantic tradition.
Talking heads include composers, musicians, directors, an ex-wife, friends.
Analyzed is his use of ostinati (repeating musical patterns), also the break with Hitchcock.
At an hour, this skims along and covers roughly a quarter of his film output.
