The soundtrack of Psycho, from 1960, composed by Herrmann, is one of the most iconic in the history of cinema, characterized by an orchestration exclusively for strings, without wind instruments or percussion, which creates a tense, cold and disturbing atmosphere, where the most famous piece is "The Murder", used in the famous shower scene.
