The term "Hermannesque" is now standard classical music terminology - underlining Bernard Herrmann's stature as a legendary film composer.

"If you had to name the most memorable snippets of film and TV music of all time, what would you choose? Psycho's shower scene shriek? The jaunty whistled refrain from Kill Bill? The Twilight Zone Theme? Well, no prizes for guessing who composed them all. Bernard Herrmann was a fiercely innovative writer and favourite of Hitchcock's before the two parted ways over Torn Curtain (check out Herrmann's superior score mercilessly rejected by Hitch). This collection including themes from Citizen Kane, Vertigo and Taxi Driver is mandatory, if only to provide an accompaniment for your Travis Bickle impressions."
