Bernard Herrmann. When I listen too my fav.. Psycho, its addictive-exciting-sombre because it has the full vocabulary that not many other scores have that is the exhibition of strings all the way through Psycho!
Herrmann was technically gifted just listen too Jason & the Argonauts that is practically an all wind instrument assemblage, he was also top-draw with symphony works, & a dab-hand using electronics!
& not forgetting the Hitchcock partnership that is undeniably the best that cinema ever witnessed!
Some favs..
The Day the Earth Stood Still Jason & the Argonauts The Ghost & Mrs Muir Journey too the Centre of the Earth The Egyptian North By Northwest The 7th Voyage of Sinbad Vertigo Twilight Zone Taxi Driver
Others that run Herrmann close. Goldsmith - Morricone - Schifrin - A. Newman - Rozsa - Barry - M. Steiner - Waxman - Williams!
I'd like too name more guys with so much greatness in projects, but that would take-up the page!
