MUSIC AND THE MOVIES: BERNARD HERRMANN

Resource person: Audra Bullard - office@clehighlands.com

Description:

This class investigates the function of music in film, television and video games. One of the most important connective tissues of film composition from the Golden Age to the present was the fiery and cantankerous Bernard Hermann. His influential collaborations with directors Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock put him on the map, and his challenging personality put him in the gossip columns! In this session, we’ll take a look at Herrmann classic soundtracks, including Vertigo, Psycho, North by Northwest, Citizen Kane, and The Day the Earth Stood Still.
