Psycho shower scene


I was listening to the classical composer Vivaldi's Winter from The Four Seasons. The beginning of Winter sounds exactly like the music from the shower scene of Psycho!

I believe that the composer of the Psycho score...the great Bernard Herrmann...used many an influence from classical music in his own scores.

The "love theme" in Vertigo is from..Tristan and Isolde?

Meanwhile...I think someone wrote that John Williams' famous "locomotive" duh-duh-duh-duh theme music for "Jaws" is from "Rite of Spring."

Maybe Bernard Herrmann meant it as a tribute?
