One of the most famous scenes in popular cinema is without a doubt the shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece Psycho.
The soundtrack of screeching violins, violas, and cellos was an
original all-strings piece by composer Bernard Herrmann, titled "The
Murder".
Hitchcock insisted that Bernard Herrmann write the score
for Psycho despite the composer's refusal to accept a reduced fee for
the film's lower budget. The resulting score is perhaps Herrmann's most
spectacular Hitchcock achievement. Hitchcock was pleased with the
tension and drama the score added to the film, later remarking "33% of
the effect of Psycho was due to the music."
Herrmann used the
lowered music budget to his advantage by writing for a string orchestra
rather than a full symphonic ensemble, contrary to Hitchcock's request
for a jazz score. He thought of the single tone color of the all-string
soundtrack as a way of reflecting the black-and-white cinematography of
the film.
