[Answer] The musical score for Hitchcock's "Psycho" uses which instrument exclusively?

We have looked all around the web to find the most relevant answer to your query: 


The musical score for Hitchcock's "Psycho" uses which instrument exclusively?


  • Stringed instruments:The iconic Alfred Hitchcock film "Psycho" has an equally iconic musical score. Bernard Herrmann, an Oscar-winning composer, scored the movie. Although Hitchcock originally wanted a jazz-themed score, Hermann's score won him over. To score the classic horror film, Hermann used only stringed instruments. His orchestra used the full range of strings: violins I and II, cellos, double bass, and violas. He divided the lines of music into two parts, producing an eight to ten voice harmony. The jolting opening chords of the movie are as famous as its shower scene. The glaring chords became known in the industry as the Hitchcock Chord. Source: Forums.TCM.com
