About this item
Alfred Hitchcock was once so famous he was the only film director whose
name appeared on the cinema marquee above the title. He disparaged
actors and loathed location shooting since both threatened the precise
realisation of the film he had already made in his mind. Yet, in his
Hollywood heyday he forged some creative collaborations he truly valued:
those with composers. From the start, Hitchcock knew that music was an
invaluable aid to any director of suspense movies who wanted to put his
audience through the emotional wringer. From Arthur Benjamin's pivotal
cantata in the 1934 version of 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' to Bernard
Herrmann's jagged soundtrack for the landmark shocker 'Psycho', the
music was usually a visceral part of any Hitchcock movie. By the time
John Williams scored Hitchcock's
final film 'Family Plot' (1976), a whole generation of moviegoers would
always remember their favourite Hitchcock film with, as it were, the
soundtrack attached. Here, arranged for Piano, are some of the most
evocative themes from some of Hitchcock's most unforgettable films.
