Summary of This Score
Alfred Hitchcock marked the history of cinema with a unique sense of rhythm, framing, and dramatic tension. In his films, music is never just background sound: it becomes a true emotional engine, capable of instilling unease, accelerating the viewer's heartbeat, or, conversely, creating deceptive calm. This score precisely highlights this strong connection between image and music by bringing together on piano some of the most striking themes associated with Hitchcock's universe.
Designed to be played on the keyboard, these arrangements allow the player to recreate legendary atmospheres under their fingers: the sharp edge of suspense, hypnotic ostinatos, romantic surges, and lighter colors that punctuate certain films. It is an excellent resource for pianists attracted to film music who wish to work on rhythmic precision as well as building tension, articulation, and dynamics.
The collection notably includes: Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Family Plot (End Titles), Marnie (Prelude), North By Northwest (Conversation Piece) and (Prelude), Psycho (Prelude/The Murder/Finale), Rear Window (Lisa), Rope (Mouvement Perpetuel No.1), Spellbound (Main Title), The Man Who Knew Too Much (Que Sera, Sera) and (Storm Clouds Cantata), The Trouble With Harry (Overture/The Doctor), The Wrong Man (Prelude), as well as Vertigo (Carlotta's Portrait), (Prelude), and (Scene D'amour). An ideal program to build a thematic set, prepare an audition, or simply enjoy iconic pages from the film music repertoire.
