Abstract
Bernard Herrmann's name is immortally linked to the oppressively ominous, churningly fear-inducing music he wrote for films directed by Alfred Hitchcock, such as "Psycho" and "Vertigo," as well as for his landmark score for Orson Welles's "Citizen Kane." Even Lady Gaga's music video for "Born This Way," released last February, begins by quoting Herrmann's "Vertigo" score.
