Bernard Herrmann

biography:
Bernard Herrmann (born Max Herman; June 29, 1911 – December 24, 1975) was an American composer best known for his work in composing for motion pictures. As a conductor, he championed the music of lesser-known composers.

An Academy Award-winner (for The Devil and Daniel Webster, 1941; later renamed All That Money Can Buy), Herrmann is particularly known for his collaborations with director Alfred Hitchcock, most famously Psycho, North by Northwest, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Vertigo. He also composed scores for many other movies, including Citizen Kane, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Cape Fear, and Taxi Driver. He worked extensively in radio drama (composing for Orson Welles), composed the scores for several fantasy films by Ray Harryhausen, and many TV programs, including Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone and Have Gun–Will Travel.

biography:
Bernard Herrmann (Nueva York, 29 de junio de 1911 – Los Ángeles, 24 de diciembre de 1975) fue un compositor estadounidense especializado en el género cinematográfico. Galardonado con un premio de la Academia a la mejor música de película dramática por su trabajo, El hombre que vendió su alma (The Devil and Daniel Webster, 1941), es principalmente conocido por sus colaboraciones con Orson Welles (Ciudadano Kane, La guerra de los mundos) y con Alfred Hitchcock, director con el que Herrmann cosechará la mayoría de sus grandes éxitos (Vértigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Psicosis).

A los ocho años dejó patente su mal genio y rebeldía cuando el profesor de música le regañó y Benny le rompió el violín en la cabeza. A los 13 años quedó deslumbrado por la música de Héctor Berlioz, lo que marcó su decisión de convertirse en compositor. A los 16 años se matriculó en el instituto DeWitt Clinton, donde tuvo como profesor musical a Gustav Heine, quien le enseñó las técnicas básicas de composición. En 1931 creó la New Chamber Orchestra, formación con la que realizó conciertos de música clásica; y en 1934 fue contratado como director y compositor para la cadena de radio CBS, participando en algunos programas de éxito como Columbia Workshop y The Mercury Theatre.

En 1933 se vinculó con la Columbia Broadcasting System donde musicalizó documentales y programas radiofónicos. De esta forma conoció a Orson Welles, quien estaba buscando alguien que le compusiera temas para programas de radio. Uno de estos, La guerra de los mundos, sobre la novela de H.G.Welles, que cuenta una invasión extraterrestre, marcó un hito en la historia de la radiodifusión, causando el mayor impacto de la historia de la radio.

En 1941 ambos volvieron a trabajar en otra adaptación radiofónica, The Happy Prince, y ese mismo año Welles encontró financiación en la RKO para su película Ciudadano Kane, donde se reencontró con la música de un Herrmann que entraba por la puerta grande en el mundo de la composición cinematográfica, consiguiendo además su único premio de la Academia por su segunda película, El hombre que vendió su alma.

Durante los cincuenta, su carácter fue transformándolo en un individuo antisocial, agresivo y solitario, descontento con su profesión y convencido de que todo a su alrededor era negativo. Su prepotencia musical la consolidó con un estilo personal, acorde con su melancólico estado de ánimo, en las cuerdas obsesivamente románticas de Jane Eyre, El fantasma y la señora Muir y Las nieves del Kilimanjaro.

En 1955 se produjo el comienzo de su afortunada relación profesional con Hitchcock, complementándose ambos a la perfección. Su colaboración con Alfred Hitchcock se inició en Pero... ¿quién mató a Harry?, que dio como resultado algunas de las más alabadas partituras cinematográficas. Su condición de maniaco depresivo le hizo desarrollar hasta el límite su innovación musical, que alcanzó su punto culminante en el lirismo de Vértigo, en el fandango percusivo de Con la muerte en los talones o en la violencia de los violines que simulan cuchillazos sobre la piel en la clásica escena de la ducha en la película Psicosis.

biography:
Bernard Herrmann, né le 29 juin 1911 à New York et mort le 24 décembre 1975 à Los Angeles, est un compositeur et chef d’orchestre américain. Il doit sa réputation internationale aux musiques qu'il écrivit pour les films d'Alfred Hitchcock.

Il débuta à Hollywood en 1940 en composant la musique du film Citizen Kane d'Orson Welles. Il fut redécouvert à la fin de sa vie par la génération du Nouvel Hollywood pour laquelle il écrivit et dirigea ses dernières partitions (Taxi Driver de Martin Scorsese). Il s’illustra aussi par ses compositions et directions pour la radio et la télévision. Il est considéré comme un des plus grands compositeurs de l'histoire du septième art.

Bernard Herrmann naît à New York en 1911. C'est le premier enfant d'une famille juive d'origine russe. Son père Abraham encourage vivement dès le plus jeune âge l'éducation musicale de ses deux fils. Celle-ci passe, pour l'aîné, par l’apprentissage du violon, instrument pour lequel il ne développe pas d’aptitude particulière. En revanche, il s’illustre rapidement par ses talents pour la composition en remportant à treize ans un premier prix de 100 dollars pour une pièce illustrant Les Cloches de Paul Verlaine. Son initiation à la composition passe par la découverte du Grand traité d’instrumentation et d’orchestration modernes d’Hector Berlioz, son livre de chevet (l'influence exercée sur Herrmann par Berlioz est perceptible en particulier dans l’utilisation d’instruments non conventionnels). Herrmann, qui est et restera un lecteur insatiable, se lie à la même époque d'une d'amitié très forte avec le futur écrivain et cinéaste Abraham Polonsky.

Inscrit comme élève en 1927 à la remarquable DeWitt Clinton High School, il fait la connaissance du futur compositeur Jerome Moross, dont il partage les ambitions. Régulièrement, il se glisse dans les studios d’enregistrement du Carnegie Hall pour observer le travail de chefs d’orchestre de renom tel Willem Mengelberg ou Leopold Stokowski. Il s’imprègne à la même époque des œuvres de Maurice Ravel et Debussy qui constitueront ses influences majeures pour leur vocabulaire largement impressionniste. Sa passion pour des compositeurs singuliers se développe conjointement. Tout particulièrement Edward Elgar et Charles Ives, futur ami dont il défendra énergiquement le travail, avec lequel il se familiarisera avec de nouvelles structures rythmiques et harmoniques ainsi qu'avec la musique populaire américaine. ...
