Thank-you.

Thank you ! Two nice analysis of who I consider the most important film composer of all time…

I wonder though how long these kind of videos will be allowed on youtube. I’m pretty sure that in one year, we’ll only be able to upload home made videos…

Dude, this is awesome. I’m actually doing a paper on Bernard Herrmann for my 20th Century Music History class. Thank you so much.

Wierd. I did a paper on Bernard Herrmann for my 20th century music class many moons ago. There’s a book i used called “A Heart at Fire’s Center” that’s got tons of cool stuff. I found out that he and I have the same birthday, and we were both born super premature (cue Herrmann’s Twighlight Zone music). Although I’m not Jewish and was born in the Florida keys…. close enough!

I have his cantata Moby Dick on vinyl, but my record player broke the next day so I only got to listen to it once. Is it available on cd anywhere?

Speaking of Bernard Herrmann, did anyone happen to watch that new show “Andy Barker P.I.”? It seems the show mocks classic film noir, and within the first minute I could tell the music was supposed to be Herrmann-esque or Elfman-esque. I found it very clear and I’m just curious to see if anyone thought this as well.
