I love Herrmann's music and have all his scores (literally), not yet the Alfred Hitchcock Hour set. But sometimes his sequences can really annoy one! This is especially evident in his TV scores for TWILIGHT ZONE. Often his sequences hit the mark (the ostinato figure in PSYCHO and a similar figure in NBNW, not to mention the sublime VERTIGO (but there the sequential writing is varied by gorgeous orchestration even by Herrmann's standards).

The cutting against Herrmann's music is telling and beautifully done
