This paper examines David Cooper's book on the importance of Bernard Herrmann's score for Alfred Hitchcock's film, "Vertigo". The paper looks at Cooper's view that the score was critical to the success of the movie and discusses how Cooper divides Herrmann's work into two categories before delivering his evaluation of Herrmann's "Vertigo" score. The paper also analyzes Hermann's artistic genius as a composer and a master of the film score world.
From the Paper:
"David Cooper's book is a critical study of Herrmann's score for Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. His work evaluates how Bernard Herrmann's score for Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo plays a crucial role in the articulation and development of the film's narrative. The viewer is affected as much by the musical score as it is from the script itself. Cooper described how Herrmann's collaboration with Hitchcock spanned eleven years, and their partnership produced nine films. Hermann's film score for Vertigo is widely regarded as being one of his finest and hence the reason for Cooper's investigation of the work."
