This paper discusses the music cues in the film "Psycho" as directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1960, music by Bernard Herrmann, showing how the score for Psycho is different because it is all strings, using a driving violin against a viola and a bass, the latter often carrying a sinister undertone to different scenes. Much of the music might be termed traveling music, used as characters move from one place to another, but usually with a sense of menace or turmoil at the same time.
