        USA [1911-1975]Group: Film Short description: Hitchcock trillers. Bird sounds edited together as the soundtrack to The Birds. Bold percussion music. Bold and direct, yet certainly not typical of the day. Rather than full-blown themes, his knack was to select and develop simple mottos such as those high-pitched screaming Psycho violins or in Vertigo those dizzying augmented chord arpeggios that seemed to encapsulate the whole concept of the movie (moving in different directions at the same time). Orchestration also tended to be unusual but again tailored perfectly to the particular need. Psycho used strings only, which seemed to match the black and white photography. Follows Rozsa being bold and dark and an integral part of the film experience. Taxi driver (central theme on saxophone oozing a sleazy Jazz mood for the city night life, and some sweeping dramatic surges to show the Robert de Niro character state of mind). Orchestration also tended to be unusual but again tailored perfectly to the particular need. Psycho used strings only, which seemed to match the black and white photography. In Jason and the Argonauts, he makes use of woodwinds in lower registers and primordial brass fanfares to evoke Hellenic antiquity.  Played 20 of 23 tracks for this composer (total 116 answers). Played blocks map: The script ran 0.002 seconds . | ||||
