As CoolBec said, the composer of the
Taxi Driver score was long time Hitchcock soundtrack collaborator Bernard Herrmann, who did all of those brilliant scores to Hitch's films, including the dissonant screeching violins in the iconic shower scene in
Psycho. More than a few people think Herrmann was the greatest soundtrack composer ever... Sorry, Mr. Morricone!
Janet Leigh who was the victim of the shower scene stabbing in
Psycho said she watched the daily rushes of the shower scene
without Hermann's soundtrack music and said the scene was quite boring. However after adding Bernard Herrmann's music to the scene Janet Leigh said the shower scene scared the beejesus out her.
