Morricone: Movie Music Maestro

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   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.....

	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.

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