MUS 383 - Herrmann & Hitchcock


Instructor
Lerner

A seminar concentrating on the nine film scores stemming from the remarkable collaboration of composer Bernard Herrmann and filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock. After an introductory section on each, the seminar will then proceed chronologically through their nine films. Particular emphasis will be placed on the ways that Herrmann’s music blended together with Hitchcock’s aesthetic vision to impact and complicate notions of gender identities.

Satisfies the Visual and Performing Arts requirement.

Prerequisites & Notes
