Album notes
Personnel: Bernard Herrmann (conductor), The M-G-M Studio Orchestra.Producers: Marilee Bradford, Bradley Flanagan. Recorded in Culver City, California.Includes liner notes by Christopher Husted and Marilee Bradford.Original score written by Bernard Herrmann.With the ominous, distant thunder of timpani, and jagged syncopations of strings, percussion and deep brass, Bernard Herrmann sets an abstract, menacing tone for one of the all-time great exercises in cinematic virtuosity, Alfred Hitchcock's comic thriller, NORTH BY NORTHWEST. Their imaginative marriage proved to be an enduring one, without equal in the history of cinema, save perhaps for that between the Italian director Frederico Fellini and his alter-ego, Nino Rota.Inspired by the works of American post-modernists such as Charles Ives and Aaron Copeland, Herrmann became a conductor for the CBS Symphony, composing incidental music for many of the network's leading dramas. In this capacity, Herrmann met director Orson Welles and provided the score to CITIZEN KANE. Over the next 35 years Herrman composed memorable themes for THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, CAPE FEAR, FAHRENHEIT 451, TAXI DRIVER and Rod Serling's THE TWILIGHT ZONE, among others. Still, Herrmann is most closely identified with the Hitchcock classics--try, for instance, to imagine the shower scene in PSYCHO without Herrmann's shrieking atonal strings.For NORTH BY NORTHWEST, Herrmann composes a brittle, rhythmically driving dance--a fandango--as the main theme. A parody of Wagner's love theme from TRISTAN UND ISOLDE forms a leit motif for the romance between Roger Thornhill and counter-spy Eve Kendall ("Conversation Piece"), while moody descending strings and woodwind accents ("The Cafeteria") identify Thornhill's alter-ego, George Kaplan. Herrmann's spooky use of rhythmic bowing, pizzicato strings, moaning brass, harp and vibes ("The House," "The Balcony," "The Matchbox") provides an eerie sense of anticipation as Thornhill races to rescue Kendall from assassination. Many of the main themes intermingle in a furious rush of strings, percussion and barking brass as the movie races to a climax ("On The Rocks," "The Cliff," "Finale") on the face of Mount Rushmore.

Editorial reviews
Included in Mojo's 100 Coolest Movie Soundtracks - ...A mix of musical suspense and humor was needed to make this movie work and Hermann, with his immense harmonic experience, judged the moods to perfection.
