No one wrote brass parts like Herrmann. The french horn players probably walked into a Herrmann session 'cringing'. No film composer today can touch Bernard Herrmann. He started it all!!!

Bernie was and IS a composing and orchestrating genious! 8 french horns, 4 harps, 2 contrabassons. peppersax is right. No one else before or since has scored brass and particularly low winds in such beautiful but terrifying ways. Great post!!!!!

Ha!, you think this orchestration is unique, on one Herrmann scoring assignment 4 Trombonists walked into the scoring stage to find only 4 chairs. I believe it was for HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL TV show.

I'm Back. The funny thing is, that the first two notes identify BH. For more low brass scoring, listen to Jason and The Argonauts (particularly...TALOS).

@peppersax It's the only piece I know, so far, that has parts for 4 tubas. That right there, makes me proud as a low brass player. :D

I went to school with a contra bassoon in 3rd grade or was it a contra bafoon

@beedoe51 Igor Stravinsky for one. This cue is clearly a loving homage to Stravinsky's Danse Sacrale from Le Sacre Du Printemps from the great Benny Herrmann. Though as you say, Herrmann's unique orchestration (i.e. 4 harps, 3 English horns, 4 tubas, 8 timpani, huge percussion section and a Hammond organ) truly makes it his own.

Anything with two contrabassoons gets my vote :)
