Miscellaneous RIP Ennio Morricone

[jbtsax]

Randulo recently posted about Morricone's passing in another thread, but I thought it appropriate to start another thread to celebrate the width and breadth of unique musical contributions Morricone gave to the world during his celebrated career. I will start with one I just recently became familiar with and immediately fell in love with the melody. Note how the audience chants his name at the beginning the same as if he were a rock star in my country.

Feel free to post videos of some of his works that are your favorites.

Ennio was so original in his ideas, and was such great composer, and arranger. I always loved his scores. A very talented and much loved man.
RIP

I just realise that Ennio Morricone and Michel Legrand who passes last year were vert much alike.

You'll have to forgive me, but I have a new tablet and the Samsung keyboard is a nightmare! I tried to replace it with the Google one but it refuses to do it! Arghhh.... 😵🙁😳

I'm cursed!

I had the privilege to play in this concert with Maghull Wind Orchestra, arguably Morricone’s most famous piece.

Thank God you were there to save the day! I'm not a fan of big hands. Too much noise when far less is required to do the job!

But that's just the latest, not the most famous, IMHO. this is:

New York Times had a full page with many of his notable film scores and commentary:

Ennio Morricone in Eight Moments (Published 2020)

The spaghetti westerns were only the beginning. His scores turned horror, romance and more into transcendent works of art.
