Women of the Hårga dance during The May Queen Dance
Music can make or break a film. Scores are used to enhance the atmosphere, and they are sonic tools that help filmmakers shape their stories, and have a huge emotional impact on their audience. If the music is not done right, the film loses a lot of its footing, and the story doesn't engage the audience.
Psycho's score was composed by Bernard Herrmann. From the very first moment of the opening credits, Herrmann sets the mood of the film with his anxiety-inducing opening theme. Throughout the film, Herrmann utilizes muted strings to create tension and represent Norman's repressed feelings, except for the most iconic scene in the film; the shower scene. In the shower scene, Herrmann uses strings that represent the high-pitched screams of Norman's victim in the scene.
When Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind were first shown the film, it was a much longer version than the final cut. Most of Carlos and Elkind's original composed music was part of the scenes that got cut out. This incident caused Carlos to vow never to work with Stanley Kubrick again, because a similar thing happened to her when working on Clockwork Orange.
The original score composed by experimental music band Climax Golden Twins matches the eerie visuals director Brad Anderson delivers. The band created a dark, ambient, evocative tonal score that compliments the eeriness of the film and the location it is filmed in. The haunting score adds to the psychological horror elements of the film.*Availability in US
