	Musicians - Herbert Windt

Herbert Windt (September 15, 1894 - November 2, 1965) was a German composer.

He was a student of Franz Schreker and one of the most significant film score composers of the Third Reich along with Wolfgang Zeller, Michael Jary, Franz Grothe, and Georg Haentzschel. He was best known for his collaborations with the director Leni Riefenstahl: Triumph of the Will (1934/35), Olympia (1938), and Tiefland (1945/54), but he also worked with directors like Wolfgang Liebeneiner (Die Entlassung), Georg Wilhelm Papst (Paracelsus), Frank Wisbar (Die Unbekannte, Fährmann Maria, Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben?), and Gustav Ucicky (Morgenrot). His film scores for propaganda films drew the attention of the sociologist Siegfried Kracauer, who analysed the composer's works in the tracts From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological History of the German Film and Theory of Film: The Redemption of Physical Reality.
