I'm not exactly a film historian, but to me the first really remarkable soundtrack in history is Steiner's score for King Kong. It was years before Prokofiev, Copland, Berstein (Leonard), or Walton. Truly an amazing piece of work that was indispensible to the film as a whole.Hermann repeats himself from film to film, but they all do. There's never a doubt as to who wrote the music even after just a few bars of a Roza score, for example. If I'm not mistaken, Hermann lifted a section of his score from The Five Fingers whole and dropped it into Jason and the Argonauts for the skeleton fight at the end of the movie. Having said that, I think Hermann's score for Psycho has got to be one of the three or four leading prime candidates for the film score as art that you'll ever hear.
