Main: The Movie Magic of Bernard Herrmann

Today on gullar sahir we're playing a wide selection of film music, and we're featuring the work of noted film composer Bernard Herrmann  (June 29, 1911 – December 24, 1975), who was born on this day 100 years ago.

An Academy Award-winner (for The Devil and Daniel Webster, 1941), Herrmann is particularly known for his collaborations with director Alfred Hitchcock, most famously Psycho, North by Northwest, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Vertigo. He also composed notable scores for many other movies, including Citizen Kane, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (which friend and fellow movie music composer Laurie Johnson said, in a recent interview, he rated as his favourite score), Cape Fear, and Taxi Driver. He worked extensively in radio drama (most notably for Orson Welles), composed the scores for several fantasy films by Ray Harryhausen, and many TV programs including most notably Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone and Have Gun – Will Travel(information and image from Wikipedia)

Today's programme is presented by Elrik Merlin and produced by gullar sahir in conjunction with our friends at the Alexandrian Free Library Consortium of Second Life.
