These four, very different, men had one thing in common; all their landmark films, from Welles' \u003cem\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/em\u003e, to Hitchcock's \u003cem\u003eVertigo\u003c\/em\u003e, to Scorsese's \u003cem\u003eTaxi Driver\u003c\/em\u003e shared the same composer, Bernard Herrmann. Many of the most famous musical moments in film history came from the pen of this exceptional man. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilm is the twentieth century's own art form and music played a vital part in its development. Herrmann's music, again and again, underscored the emotional impact of key moments in a series of classics; the climax of \u003cem\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/em\u003e, the childhood sleigh Rosebud burning in the incinerator, the funeral orchestral harmonies consigning Kane's mystery to oblivion, James Stewart hypnotised by fear at the top of a tower in \u003cem\u003eVertigo\u003c\/em\u003e, the arrival of an alien in \u003cem\u003eThe Day the Earth Stood Still\u003c\/em\u003e accompanied by a strangely motionless eerie tension.
