The career of the great American film composer Bernard Herrmann represents a pivotal moment in high culture: the point at which the best and the brightest of the high arts began to make their names and make their livings in the pop sphere, whether Hollywood or Madison Avenue. While Herrmann composed soundtracks for Citizen Kane, Taxi Driver and countless other classics, he is best-known for his association with the films of Alfred Hitchcock.
