Einhorn graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Columbia University in 1975, and studied composition and electronic music with Jack Beeson, Vladimir Ussachevsky, and Mario Davidovsky. His best-known work, Voices of Light is an oratorio scored for soloists, chorus, orchestra and a bell. It was inspired by Carl Theodor Dreyer's silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc. In the 1980s, he composed many horror and thriller film scores, including The Prowler and Sister, Sister. He also contributed to the soundtrack of Liberty! The American Revolution. In a recent New York Times article, Einhorn discussed his use of hearing loops to enjoy concerts with his hearing aid.
