Ennio Morricone is by far the most prolific movie music composer of all time and with an epic score for A Fistful of Dollars that was almost as legendary as The Man with No Name - and that was just the beginning of an extraordinary career. Morricone wrote the music for all three of the sprawling spaghetti westerns in "The Dollars Trilogy" - directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood - as well as scoring the three magnificent movies in Leone's "Once Upon a Time" trilogy. The Wild West portrayed by Sergio Leone was a harsh, violent place without mercy, where people are shot in the back and torturers laugh out loud. It's a brutal man's world where women are oppressed and there is no possible love story for the hero. In a remote western town without pity, the sun burns down, the clothes are filthy, the men are unshaven and enemies await around every corner to deliver a bullet between the eyes..... The Ultimate Ennio Morricone experience from Arena de Verona, Italy, with The Movie Music Maestro conducting a full orchestra and choir back in 2002.  |

I adore Ennio Morricone (RIP) and was obsessed with his music especially in the early to mid 2010s. I do especially like his 60s through 70s period, but I also find much music of value that comes later, and was impressed with his 2015 soundtrack for Tarantino's the Hateful Eight. I have many albums by him, but here are a few favourite pieces of mine (showing The Kill Bill scene cause I love it).. I would like to list 20 more. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

^ Sergio Leone's epic Once Upon a Time in the West is both my favourite western and all-time favourite Morricone music score.  |

While I generally am not that keen on Westerns, the HBO Westworld TV series aside :), I do like various Sergio Leone films and love Morricone's music of that period. I love so many of his soundtracks, but I guess i were to choose just one right now then it might be Maddalena (1971) or Una lucertola con la pelle di donna (1971). ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |
