06 Hitchcock: The Music of Suspense, Obsession, & Murder - Part I
Manage episode 226631723 series 1548266
In a new episode of Kinotes, we explore the music of the “Master of Suspense”, Alfred Hitchcock, in part one of a two-part series entitled “Hitchcock: The Music of Suspense, Obsession, & Murder".
There’s been so much discussion about Hitchcock’s use of visuals in the movies, but less so his soundtracks. In this first part, we’ll talk about Hitchcock’s use of music before his collaboration with Bernard Herrmann (with one exception), beginning with his first sound film BLACKMAIL and including films like THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, REBECCA, SUSPICION, SHADOW OF A DOUBT, SPELLBOUND, NOTORIOUS, ROPE, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, REAR WINDOW, and many others.
We’ll talk about his early sound and music innovations, his constant return to the waltz as a musical form, his technique of threading a song throughout a story, and his collaboration with a variety of accomplished composers including Franz Waxman, Dimitri Tiomkin, and Miklos Rozsa.

If you liked this podcast, I have a few other deep dives on music in specific Hitchcock films to recommend: “Settling the Score’s” episodes on VERTIGO and PSYCHO, “Underscore”’s episodes on VERTIGO and on Bernard Herrmann, and “The Soundtrack Show’s” episode on PSYCHO.
