Madam, - Connie Kiernan (February 15th) lists several major composers of film music but surprisingly fails to mention the outstanding Bernard Herrman.
Herrman is best (but not exclusively) known for his contributions to such Hitchcock classics as Vertigo, North by NorthwestandPsycho. In a long and productive career spanning decades, he also scored Orson Welles's Citizen Kane(1941) and Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976), as well as countless other films. - Yours, etc,
