“They do give you a lot of latitude in what you can do with composing for the instrumentation,” Pipes said. “In this case, I do ask the players to do some crazy stuff with their instruments and I even have a request for the players to do a little vocalizing towards the end of it. It’s all subtle stuff, but whatever I’m given, I like to push it to the limits.”in 2014.
is one of Hitchcock’s early films, premiering in London in 1927. Based on Marie Belloc Lowndes’ 1913 novel of the same name and?, a play co-written by Belloc Lowndes, the film centers on a London family who rents room to a mysterious lodger as police search for a Jack the Ripper-like serial killer. As the serial killer seems to be creeping closer to the family’s neighborhood, they become suspicious of the lodger’s nocturnal activities. The film is Hitchcock’s first thriller.
“As I understand it, this was the first film that Alfred Hitchcock felt like this was a ‘Hitchcock’ film. Now he has found his voice, his style. And so, a lot of the Hitchcock suspense, a lot of the tension and relief, that’s all there. And in the score, I tried to come at it in a way that I would think is an extension of what he would have asked for,” Pipes said. “I went for an approach that I hope he would have signed off on so that it still played to his sensibilities.
“I leaned on these instruments in their dense lower registers to give that eerie, ethereal, dense fog aspect to it,” Pipes said.“I think it is something that you want the music to illuminate the story and guide the viewer along naturally,” Pipes said. “You don’t want them to think about the music. You want them to feel the music. You want the music to be the guiding light of an emotional journey.
