🦧🦊🐅 western has always been ahye vernacular for mei. My mother sang me yellow rose of texas when i was but a child. And also You take the Highlands.... that song. I remember her so well. My father helped her escape from a prison camp w/ most of her family. God do them well and marry u off to princesses❤
I'm 57 and have been listening to Morricone's music for 45 years. 1000 times and I still feel the same as I did when I was 12. I wrote my A-level thesis on Sergio Leone. My teacher said it was the best thing he had ever read and he wanted me to study journalism, but I didn't do it and didn't become famous like he hoped. I turned to psychotherapy instead and often think back to what would have become of me if ... But no matter what someone does for a living, or what faith they have, or none at all, or what their social status is, anyone who has ever been touched by Morricone's incredible music is probably moved the same way. I wish all of you out there in this cold world a heart-warming night.
I'm 62, and it takes me to the moment at the drive-in. I was going to write something else, but the dying soldier song just came on. The one that Blonde shared his coat and cigar with after crossing the river. It's such a miracle that a song can be so emotional that it takes you right back to a moment in time. For me, "1972". What a great summer it was. My brother in law was so mad at me because I ran down his car battery listening to the soundtrack to "The Good,The Bad and the Ugly" on his 8-track player. Sorry, Bob, but I would do it again for Morricone! Lol
"This morning, I woke up and started working from home. I poured a cup of coffee and started playing this music in the background on my headphones. As I listened, I placed the warm mug to my forehead and closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun flooding through my window. Thanks for helping to make this morning so peaceful. if you read this, doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy peaceful life where all your dreams become true."
On a snowy cold weekend in December, I just had turned 14, my mom had left with my sisters over the weekend to visit my grandma and bake Christmas cookies. I stayed at home with my dad, I was alone in my room reading a book, when my dad knocked on my door and said: "come son, be prepared for a day of epic manliness! " He made me watch the good, the bad and the ugly, a fist full of dollars and once upon a time in the west. I'll never forget! God bless his soul. I miss you dad. epilogue: some time ago, I was home alone with my son, he was playing RDR2 in his room, I knocked on his door and said: Come son, be prepared for a day of epic manliness!
Italy founded the West, from the Renaissance up to the 1800s. The French and Brits took much inspiration from Italians. It's fact, America is an Italian name..
@@TimeTraveller010 arguably, Greece founded "The West", Romans got a new way of The West. Italy had been the center of the west for a long time, as you said, medieaval times, Rennaisance, the Manierism, the Baroque and Neoclasicism... despite not being a economic or military power and, for much time, not even being a political entity, Italy was a cultural center for Europe and the whole "West" From the industrial revolution however, Italy lost its importance, and the anglophone world took the lead. "The British Empire", Victorian Age, and, before these, "The Augustan Age". Britain was "The West", artistically, culturally and economically. The "Far West" is a totally american thing, yes, films like this were very important during the cold war, but the original "Far West", that is all american. "The american dream", again, totally american, and to this day, The States are the leading country of the west, no doubt about that. We are no more the center of "The West", USA is.
@@davideb.4290 Are you of Italian background? I ask so because Greece did little in establishing foundations that Italy expanded on. Greeks introduced Philosophy and nothing else, Archimedes the great mathematician of whom is Greek by proper noun is southern Italian. Rhetoric was founded in Southern Italy, I am sure you are aware of much more. The only reason culture became Anglophone is because France and England didn't want German dominance on the European continent. Germany too has had an influence on the West. Yes I am aware the U.S is the West's centre, and Germany played an influential role in that development.
My mom loved everything clint The good bad and the ugly was one her favorites. She passed away in 2021. I watch these movies to remember the good times
Funny to think that some of the greatest Western films in history were created and directed not by Americans but by a great Italian filmmaker like Sergio Leone and some of the most unforgettable soundtracks by another Italian genius like Ennio Morricone. Two artists who belong not only to a geographical homeland but are the heritage of the entire world ❤️
My dad died the 1st of Oct 2017, listening to this reminds me of the late nights I'd wake up, come down for a glass of water or just to stretch the legs a moment before going to bed again, he'd nearly always watch western movies and sometimes I'd join him watch a movie to the end before going to bed again, sometimes talk with him. I miss him! Miss him so much, the old fool!
May he rest in peace. I will do the same for my son. Teach him all the good stuff. One of them are western movies for sure. All the best. Btw, my son was born Oct 9th 2018.
@@ALCOR_46 What i like about Western movies in general is that, while dramatic in a lot of cases, they feel grounded and not over the top. Not to forget the unbearable hot, yet super gorgeous environment in which, nearly every movie takes place. And as of this message, had to hold a tear or 5 back last night. Forgot the movie I watched on Netflix, but it was a Western. Reminded me again about my dad. On the upside, was good memories at least.
Going to the drive-in as teenagers to see three or four Sergio Leone/Morricone movies until 3am on a summer night was one of my most cherished memories of my youth. We had a little speaker in the car for sound, and as poor as that was, we thought we were on top of the world hearing Morricones music. You don't have to be Italian or whatever to love his music. No translation is required! But THANK YOU, Italy, for giving the world this gift!
Non solo per voi, italiani, ma per tutto il mondo Morricone è un maestro! Intere generazioni, i nostri padri e nonni, sono cresciuti con la sua musica. Proprio come Maradona non appartiene solo all'Argentina, ma al mondo intero, così Morricone è patrimonio dell'intera umanità.
I was a little girl growing up in a small village in Taiwan in the 1970s. We had at least 4 "foreign feature films" play on TV each weekend. I watched several Sergio's western movies at that time. It nourished my love for movies and music. When I watched the "Ennio: The Maestro" documentary in the theater 9 days ago in Taipei, I couldn't help crying as it brought back so many childhood memories. Thank you, Maestro, for enriching my life ever since.
I felt the same seeing Tornatore's documentary about Ennio. Tears and gooseflesh. I was a little girl too in the seventies and this documentary gave me the opportunity to improve my culture about Italian cinematography and music. As an Italian I felt very proud of Morricone's genius and at the same time of his great humility. Thank you for your beautiful comment 😊. Luisa
I remember my dad made me watch The Good The Bad and The Ugly with him. I, being about 10yrs old,didn’t think much of the movie, thought it was boring. As i grew older i realized what a great film it was. One of my favorites. Thanks dad! Wish i could watch it with him now.
7. In Keywest fl at the drive in theater with my parents, us children were supposed to to be sleeping in the back of a stationwahon, I remember this music the most. Miss them all. This brings comfort.
My father and I would watch these movies on a friday night.... he died in '92. I miss him terribly, and yet, hearing this... brings him straight back. thank you Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone.
Me too... I was a daddys girl, what he loved I did too & do too. They all live through you only personality is lost. Thousands of generations all leading to this moment of your scene on stage. Do them proud.
When one gets Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone together, what else can one expect? Something eternally beautiful! Thank you both for giving the world your individual and extremelly splendid art!
Oh we do, at last I do. My father intruduced me to these movies, now I'm here at 15 listening to Morricone finest pieces non-stop. And of course, Leone is a genius too . @@evzalxheladini1205
It's pathetically sad isn't it? A generation not knowing how iconic these movies and their soundtracks are as a piece of societal consciousness is next to unbelievable. We need to make sure Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone are taught in the classroom in High School as part of a "society and culture 101" course and all students must take it or they don't graduate. If they have to strapped to chairs so be it. Louis Armstrong would be on the list of artists to be taught as well. If you don't know these greats you aren't a worthy member of society simply. All teens should come out better for the experience. They may discover that some of the garbage they listen to uses snippets of classic artists in their samples/beats.
50% of the success of the film is the music that accompanies the film. When it is tense, the film is also tense. And so the viewers don't fall asleep... This music you wrote is immortal just like the westerns you recorded with Sergio.
@alespersin6066 Ennio Morricone, John Williams, and Nino Rota are my favourites (many others are worthy of course). The music can be 50% of the character to me. As a guy who plays saxophone and guitar (believes he can sing a note or two lol!) - I can't help but hear the melody, tone, and timbre first. Everything else comes in secondary. Peace & love from Melbourne, Australia ✌❤🔥
HI all you youngsters out there. I’m 78 and still enjoy the Sergio leone westerns. The best there ever was. Added to which the music by Ennio morricone makes sheer it bliss. Can’t count the number of times I’ve watched them all. Enjoy.
Both of them are legendary. I'm 16 and I finally got around to watching the Dollars trilogy (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, etc) and inspired me to start writing screenplays for movies I hope to make when I'm older. Listening to Ennio Morricone's scores and Luis Balcalov's scores just make me more inspired
I lost my dad 2 years ago....I played ecstasy of gold at his funeral...I grew up with these films with my dad......the music is absolutely stunning....nothing compares to it....and also brings me close to my dad even though he has gone 🥺🥺❤❤
I saw Ennio Morricone & his orchestra in London at the O2 shortly before his death, he was then in his 90's, I also later went back to the same venue to see his son conducting Ennio's orchestra while playing Ennio's music. To me Ennio Morricone was & still is the Greatest composer of all time ( & not just for western music ), as he dared to be so different & experimental with his music, which made his music so unforgettable & instantly recognisable, so much so that if Ennio Morricone has scored the music to a movie then you'll know so from the first few notes as no other composers music sounds quite like Ennio Morricone's. Thank you for your magnificent music Mr Morricone & R.I.P.
For me this music is from another universe. I am fifty and I was introduced to Sergio Leone films I was ecstatic with the interaction between seeing and hearing. I keep going back to these days when I hear Maestro's music. What a synthesis, my soul and my heart and my entire body almost aches. I submerge in another dimension being floated into music!
@@parochial2356 both i think i mean its a classic movie without any music but with the legend ennio mrricone soundtrack it is a incredible awesome movie
Without the music some of those scenes would be so dragged out lmao. Greatest western imo other than Josie there, I forget the name of the fucking movie though.
È vero, un maestro è morto.. Grazie al genio italiano..! 1000 ore al cine con emozioni indementicabile. Quasi tutto lo bello del mondo viene d'Italia... Grazie!
L'Italia in lutto, il Mondo in lutto...Tristissimo giorno. E tutti noi siamo orfani di un sublime compositore conosciuto in tutto il mondo. Ci ha fatto sognare ed emozionare tante volte scrivendo le piu belle colonne musicale dei tutt' i tempi, e la sua musica divina rimarrà come un segno indelebile nella storia de cinema e dell'umanità...Dalla Francia anch'io piango con tutti voi.
40 years ago in my home country, they used to play A Fistful of Dollars , For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, every year on local TV. I used to watch them every time. Years later I migrated to the U.S. and I kept my tradition. I am watching the movies every year. It brings all the memories back, and I get to live with the characters again. Love.
Excellent. I have every single version of Leone's Dollars Trilogy on DVD: must have watched these three films hundreds of times. Believe it or not the 'cemetery' location at the very end of the Good The Bad & The Ugly (Sad Hill) has been reconstructed to look as it did in the film. I visit Portugal regularly and am very tempted to hop over the border to Spain to visit the place some day.
A Fistful of Dollars was the movie we saw in Marine Boot Camp in 1969. And when I got out----I later took a poor girl to a Drive-in movie triple-header with all three movies. Think she only made it awake thru the 1st movie.
I For a Few Dollar more, and The Good the Bad and The Ugly, I kept it for more than 40 years. I used to have A Fist Full of Dollars, but I lost it, I couldn't find it. So sad.
Mates, i am a musician, and to this day I don t know who can do better than that. This music takes you where Sergio Leone wants you to be for a little while. This is the music I would ask for my funerals. Hopefully in a while,
It can't be overstated how effective this music is in transporting you to the Wild West. The Spaghtetti Westerns would be nothing without Ennio Morricone's beautiful mind.
Perché Sergio Leone voleva Morricone per i suoi film ? Perchè era un genio perché senza la sua musica i film non sarebbero stati gli stessi non avrebbero avuto lo stesso impatto che hanno avuto sul pubblico@@Giuseppee62
The music and filming go hand in hand as perfect art. Morricone and Leone were grand masters for their crafts. One isn't without the other, pure genius at its best!
My father, who still lives, introduced these movies to me as a child and I am forever grateful! Every time I sit down to watch one always brings me back to my childhood with my father. I am now 55 yrs old. 😊
I lost my dad 14 years ago watching these films with this music is awsome memories for me rakes me back to my childhood how I miss those days and my dad xxxxx
I wish a 1000 times my dad was still here today, because we would be in the livingroom right now watching one of these great westerns. And he would be telling me one of his wonderful stories, and I would be listening to it like it was the first time ever hearing it!
They were remakes of japanese classics of their own right - they just took them to a whole new level. I think it's the lack of hollywood polish, grimy/sandy costumes, moral ambiguity and, of course, the excellent soundtracks that made the films. There are times in the films when you don't even realise the music has started, having grown up from the silence... the tension so real. :)
My Dad died 11 years ago on Oct 5th 2010 My Dad was at the Very Top of the list of Sergio Leon western lovers. He took me almost once every month to the drive-in to see the trilogies of Clint Eastwood films. I was around 6 years old, and I would always sit on the roof of his beach (station) wagons he owned. A lifetime for 50 years in a row we would continue watch, listen to the Albums and talk about those good times nearly every day. As far as I am concerned it was the best moments of my life. We worked together and lived together till the end. I still feel them memories in my heart and sole. On his birthdays and passing day I sit and listen and watch for hours to these songs and watch these movies. I consider myself to be a tuff man. But the memories of these movies being enjoyed with greatest man I have ever known (loved) sill flow a river of tears to this day. How can something So Good Hurt So Bad?
That was a wonderful story I'm glad you loved your dad Love never dies he's watching you from above might just be a Cardinal on the window sill in the morning or he's a butterfly that flew past you yesterday that's kind of how I get through things When I lost my dad in 2017. I still know he's here watching over me. Lots of fond memories but I remember my dad More alive than I ever will passed just hurts too much you know.... Lol. Anyway just wanted to write this be well stay strong. God bless you now and always. 💗🙏
When you speak these two names, Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone, You speak the names of masters of their respective crafts. This music is just so incredible and it was used to enhance the movie experience so much. I can listen to this incredible music nonstop. It is indeed the greatest western music of all time.
you miss a point i think that is important, without morricone sergios films would never been such a hit, but imagine a collaberation with kubrick. sergio and kubrick together and morricone delivering the music

As teenagers in the 80s my brothers and I watched these movies with our father late nights...now in 2021 I’m watching them with my two boys...they love the movies...legendary timeless classics.
his "phenomenal" music will be forgotten as soon ppl forget the movies. ennio morricone was living of a cult, the same as sergio leone. both lived on the geniality of a producer to combine them, alone they where literally shit.
It blows my mind that he was a grade school classmate of Leone. That was the Lord at work. One of his many contributions to music was the prominence of wordless voices in his compositions. In 2010 my adult son and I traveled south of Rome to lay flowers at Leone's grave. We were met by a locked cemetery. We went around back out of sight and scaled the wall to complete our mission, and I treasure the photos from that day. If I'm ever in Rome again I hope to visit Morricone's grave.
Gunfire becomes a musical instrument in the hands of Ennio Morricone. Human vocals, whistling, shouting, and gunshots have never sounded so good. Amazing.
early on, Ennio just didn't have the budget to keep an orchestra on call, and used any sound he could get - and a new sound was born! But his orchestral work is wonderful, too.
It's very cool...sometimes a bit like surf roc ala Dick Dale but truly unique to Ennio Morricone himself, pure genius to match the genius of Sergio Leone's epic westerns.
Truly, the greatest western movie themes ever. The movies are timeless. Once Upon A Time In The West is a masterpiece. Seeing these, way back then as a kid was life-changing. I have watched them all 100 times or more and will in the future.

Thank you Maestro. You lived a long, beautiful life and gave us timeless masterpieces to enjoy for eternity. Your amazing work will give you the closest thing to immortality. RIP
The spaghetti Western music by Ennio Morricone take me to a different place. I was a teenager when my Grandfather, Dad and I went to watch all of Clint's movies. When I am stressed, I sit back and just listen, and very loud. I love this magic of Ennio, and it is endless in beauty.

Gridalo forte Franco!!! Morricone è un simbolo italiano per eccellenza e la sua musica sarà sempre ricordata con immenso piacere, di arte ne capiamo solo noi, questi mettono la panna nella carbonara e l'ananas sulla pizza, ma per favore, portino rispetto!!!
Franco Usai cette qualification de western spaghetti n’est nullement péjorative désormais. Elle l’était probablement à l’origine mais l’opinion publique et les critiques se sont ravisées et finalement reconnu la magistrale prouesse et l’indiscutable valeur cinématographique des films de Sergio leone et la musique d’ennio morricone. Seul le sens artistique d’ italiens auraient d’ailleurs pu produire de tels chef d’œuvres...
@Martin Grey li chiamavano cosi i critici perche negli anni 60' i film erano fatti dagli italiani e girati in italia o spagna e anche perche sergio leone era un sucesso
I used to drive truck over the road. In the mornings whenever I was in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas etc. and starting my day, I would put on the sound track to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It always made the trip better.
I am an Indian. Music is in our culture. I always love to watch : The Good, the bad and the ugly. For a few dollars more Fistful of dollars Once upon a time in the west and The Godfather. The music of dollars triology is pulsating. I keenly listen to it quite often. It lends a new mesmerising wave everytime. Great work by Ennio Morricone.
@sanjeevsharma8993 If you haven't indulged already (and you probably have), check out "Once Upon A Time In America". Directed by Sergio Leone, with music composed by our beloved Ennio Morricone. My father and I considered it the greatest movie of all the time. Each to their own of course. ❤🔥
when i get older and my legs dont move as much...... i am going to create a room with a beautiful sound system and a big screen and play Sergio movies and listen to the Maestros music.... not throughout the day but at least a hour or two everyday. Immerse myself in the divine... and thank god for sending us this genius who built another world . What a sense of music.... From Once upon a time in the west with the haunting voice of Edda Dell Orso or Gabriels Oboe in the Mission, or Death of a Soldier from the Good ,Bad and Ugly. Thank you , My dear Sir...... For giving us this beautiful music. Our eyes fill with tears... out of happiness and sadness, of memories and lost time... for all this thanks.
I was with my Mom, full time, the last few years of her life. One of the great joys was watching old shows/movies that she loved and hadn't seen in years. I didn't know beforehand, but she loved all of Clint Eastwood's Westerns. I rented everything Netflix had - which was everything! - and we slowly made our way through it all, anthology style. Those were the Best Years of my adult life... never to be equaled. We were close beforehand, but the things we learned about one another, and the resolution of small misunderstandings that had been left on dusty shelfs can not be overstated. Life is short... love who you would love and pardon all others with equal fervor. Blessings to everyone here!
I lost my Dad in April of 2024 - I remember watching these movies with him as a boy - I plan to watch them with my boys and my grandsons...it's a way to reconnect to my Dad ... Miss you Dad .
It wasn’t until I was older and mature watching the movies again that I realized that there was a lot more to them than “ shoot ‘em up”. Ennio’s music made the movies the masterpieces that they are!
I have lived in Colorado in the American West for some forty years and no music better captures the grandeur of the landscapes here than Ennio Morricone's. Yes, I'm aware many of the film's this music scored were created in Europe, but the land they evoked was the American West. When I travel in Colorado and other Western states, I play Morricone's music on my car's stereo system.
You know Ray, i'm from Argentina and by the 1970's when most of Morricone's hits were known by the films of Sergio Leone and Clint Easwood among others, Argentina was still in most provinces an unexplored territory, and by the way from the age 50 onwards people here have a particular taste for these movies (in my case i'm much younger but inherited that taste from my dad). These movies and music are more universal than what you might think. Also by 1860's which is the time i which the american civil war took place, it was the same situation in Argentina (unitarios vs federales) and lasted for long time. By the way The Good The Bad and The Ugly, is from 1967 and was filmed in the desert of Almeria, Spain, only that it's so similar to the west of the US that you fly and believe for that moment that you are in 1860's american civil war. And, the word ''Spaghetti'' from Sphagetti Western, refers to the italian directors and actors (Leone and Morricone are italians, plus mostly were fimed in natural locations in Spain and Italy) and are sub-genre of the Western; that is the Sphagetti Western.
As a native Utahn, I can confirm. I actually went on a really long motorcycle trip from california to utah and toured all the national parks last summer and listened to this. There is no more perfect soundtrack.
I think that we can all agree that this music is haunting and beautiful, and evokes the imagery of dry desert landscapes - regardless of geographic location. Whether it's Spain, Argentina, the USA or elsewhere, Ennio Morricone crafted the perfect music to evoke the images of these desolate places!
I have only once ever watched Once Upon a Time in the West and it was just a few years ago. It was stunning in every way, acting, scenery and music. But easily in my top ten films of all time. That scene with Harmonica walking out with the words "Some day" leaving Jill alone and Cheyenne who is slowly dying. Almost no dialogue but the music of Ennio Morricone - its cinematic artistic perfection in three minutes.
His soundtracks were unique not only for the melodies, but in particular for the "special effects" that he included in his music. The use of special and particular musical instruments that made a particular effect, which created an atmosphere, a tension in the scenes of the films to make them immortal scenes. Without his music, the films that later became would not have become. He has created unique compositions that no one else in the world has ever made. Our Michelangelo, our Leonardo da Vinci of music. GRAZIE MAESTRO for all the emotions you have given us !

He has composed for about 2 complete films per month. It is simply unimaginable what Ennio Morricone has achieved in his life. Just listening to his music, the movie runs in your head. WOW ❤️

Ironically it was quiet the opposite as far i know.. Sergio Leone told: that Ennio Morricone first made the music, and Sergio than tried to make to movie fit to the music. That was the ''secret'' - so that the result seemed: that the music fit perfectly to the movie.
Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone, the cinematography, and of course the script. An example of what true masters of Art can produce...Hollywood was never able to produce such westerns, to the present...
@@hansypansy5 Yeah, unfortunately i think you're right. And it isn't just westerns. Good movies nowadays are as rare as rain in the desert. 99% it's just chewing gum cinema. There's 3 or 4 directors out there that do try and still make good movies, but this level of directing, consistency, and artistic quality, i think it's gone.
I see that the entire world loves Morricone, really music has no boundaries. This moves your soul, no matter how many times you hear it, you always yearn for more.

My God Father is Italian and i think of himn often. He lost his wife to cancer and married again. Had 3 daughters to aunt pat. They were awl musical. Studied violyn in mexico city.

I'm 65 years old and been listening the maestro of music seen i was 10 years old.
There's something about it isn't there.
Same here, my friend. 65 and waxing nostalgic.
I'm 57 and have been listening to Morricone's music for 45 years. 1000 times and I still feel the same as I did when I was 12. I wrote my A-level thesis on Sergio Leone. My teacher said it was the best thing he had ever read and he wanted me to study journalism, but I didn't do it and didn't become famous like he hoped. I turned to psychotherapy instead and often think back to what would have become of me if ... But no matter what someone does for a living, or what faith they have, or none at all, or what their social status is, anyone who has ever been touched by Morricone's incredible music is probably moved the same way. I wish all of you out there in this cold world a heart-warming night.
I'm 62, and it takes me to the moment at the drive-in. I was going to write something else, but the dying soldier song just came on. The one that Blonde shared his coat and cigar with after crossing the river. It's such a miracle that a song can be so emotional that it takes you right back to a moment in time. For me, "1972". What a great summer it was. My brother in law was so mad at me because I ran down his car battery listening to the soundtrack to "The Good,The Bad and the Ugly" on his 8-track player. Sorry, Bob, but I would do it again for Morricone! Lol
@DocPatHolliday That's a great subject, Doc. I wish I had thought about that. Mine was about the Vietnam War.

I remember on a Sunday evening around 1978 my dad shouting out to me: "hey Rafa! .. está cleeniswoood!"😂❤
"This morning, I woke up and started working from home. I poured a cup of coffee and started playing this music in the background on my headphones. As I listened, I placed the warm mug to my forehead and closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun flooding through my window. Thanks for helping to make this morning so peaceful.
if you read this, doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy peaceful life where all your dreams become true."

On a snowy cold weekend in December, I just had turned 14, my mom had left with my sisters over the weekend to visit my grandma and bake Christmas cookies. I stayed at home with my dad, I was alone in my room reading a book, when my dad knocked on my door and said: "come son, be prepared for a day of epic manliness! " He made me watch the good, the bad and the ugly, a fist full of dollars and once upon a time in the west. I'll never forget! God bless his soul. I miss you dad.

Ennio Morricone will forever be remembered as the man who gave the west a sound
Italy founded the West, from the Renaissance up to the 1800s. The French and Brits took much inspiration from Italians. It's fact, America is an Italian name..
@@TimeTraveller010 arguably, Greece founded "The West", Romans got a new way of The West.
Italy had been the center of the west for a long time, as you said, medieaval times, Rennaisance, the Manierism, the Baroque and Neoclasicism... despite not being a economic or military power and, for much time, not even being a political entity, Italy was a cultural center for Europe and the whole "West"
From the industrial revolution however, Italy lost its importance, and the anglophone world took the lead.
"The British Empire", Victorian Age, and, before these, "The Augustan Age". Britain was "The West", artistically, culturally and economically.
The "Far West" is a totally american thing, yes, films like this were very important during the cold war, but the original "Far West", that is all american.
"The american dream", again, totally american, and to this day, The States are the leading country of the west, no doubt about that.
We are no more the center of "The West", USA is.
@@davideb.4290 Are you of Italian background? I ask so because Greece did little in establishing foundations that Italy expanded on. Greeks introduced Philosophy and nothing else, Archimedes the great mathematician of whom is Greek by proper noun is southern Italian. Rhetoric was founded in Southern Italy, I am sure you are aware of much more. The only reason culture became Anglophone is because France and England didn't want German dominance on the European continent. Germany too has had an influence on the West. Yes I am aware the U.S is the West's centre, and Germany played an influential role in that development.
The only real americas are native americans.. ... ... ... was ...native americans.. others are europeans
Not sound, we should say melody, and painted in life the desserts...taking us to dream to be heroes...
My mom loved everything clint
The good bad and the ugly was one her favorites. She passed away in 2021. I watch these movies to remember the good times
Rest in peace

Nice callback to "You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig."
Why can't you accept people have different taste or are you joking?
Funny to think that some of the greatest Western films in history were created and directed not by Americans but by a great Italian filmmaker like Sergio Leone and some of the most unforgettable soundtracks by another Italian genius like Ennio Morricone. Two artists who belong not only to a geographical homeland but are the heritage of the entire world ❤️
¡oye! ¡es cierto!
My dad died the 1st of Oct 2017, listening to this reminds me of the late nights I'd wake up, come down for a glass of water or just to stretch the legs a moment before going to bed again, he'd nearly always watch western movies and sometimes I'd join him watch a movie to the end before going to bed again, sometimes talk with him.
I miss him!
Miss him so much, the old fool!
May he rest in peace.
May he rest in peace. I will do the same for my son. Teach him all the good stuff. One of them are western movies for sure. All the best. Btw, my son was born Oct 9th 2018.
@@ALCOR_46 What i like about Western movies in general is that, while dramatic in a lot of cases, they feel grounded and not over the top.
Not to forget the unbearable hot, yet super gorgeous environment in which, nearly every movie takes place.

Per noi italiani Ennio Morricone è IL maestro!! Grazie per aver portato un pò di Italia nel cuore di mezzo mondo con la tua arte.. RIP Ennio ❤
Ama e vivi la tia vita
Going to the drive-in as teenagers to see three or four Sergio Leone/Morricone movies until 3am on a summer night was one of my most cherished memories of my youth. We had a little speaker in the car for sound, and as poor as that was, we thought we were on top of the world hearing Morricones music. You don't have to be Italian or whatever to love his music. No translation is required! But THANK YOU, Italy, for giving the world this gift!
El genio Morricone, ya no es italiano es Universal. Gran músico, simplemente...un genio
Non solo per voi, italiani, ma per tutto il mondo Morricone è un maestro! Intere generazioni, i nostri padri e nonni, sono cresciuti con la sua musica. Proprio come Maradona non appartiene solo all'Argentina, ma al mondo intero, così Morricone è patrimonio dell'intera umanità.
TURKIYEDEN SELAM 👏👍🇹🇷
I was a little girl growing up in a small village in Taiwan in the 1970s. We had at least 4 "foreign feature films" play on TV each weekend. I watched several Sergio's western movies at that time. It nourished my love for movies and music. When I watched the "Ennio: The Maestro" documentary in the theater 9 days ago in Taipei, I couldn't help crying as it brought back so many childhood memories. Thank you, Maestro, for enriching my life ever since.
Bitchin ¿
😊
I was a child also when I first saw these movies .. brings back so many fond memories
I felt the same seeing Tornatore's documentary about Ennio. Tears and gooseflesh. I was a little girl too in the seventies and this documentary gave me the opportunity to improve my culture about Italian cinematography and music. As an Italian I felt very proud of Morricone's genius and at the same time of his great humility.
Thank you for your beautiful comment 😊.

Music is a time machine.
When you listen to these masterpieces and cry like a baby you know you're getting old
we are not dead yet..
Soon we will be dead and gone but this wonderful music stays. That is comforting.
I remember my dad made me watch The Good The Bad and The Ugly with him. I, being about 10yrs old,didn’t think much of the movie, thought it was boring. As i grew older i realized what a great film it was. One of my favorites. Thanks dad! Wish i could watch it with him now.
I can feel you my friend.
same thing. i was even younger 6-7 max 8 jears old but i remember good how we watched the movies. i watch them now to remember the times...
7. In Keywest fl at the drive in theater with my parents, us children were supposed to to be sleeping in the back of a stationwahon, I remember this music the most. Miss them all.
This brings comfort.
Miss you papa and thank you for the lovely memories. I will forever love you 💕
My father and I would watch these movies on a friday night.... he died in '92. I miss him terribly, and yet, hearing this... brings him straight back. thank you Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone.
Memories are always fresh.
I love hearing stories like this and 92 was so long ago now could I ask what happened to your father for him to pass.
I used to watch these movies with my dad too, he sadly died in 96, miss him terribly too.
Me too... I was a daddys girl, what he
loved I did too & do too. They all live
through you only personality is lost.
Thousands of generations all leading
to this moment of your scene on stage.
Do them proud.
I miss mine so much. In mourning all humanity is brother and sister.
When one gets Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone together, what else can one expect? Something eternally beautiful! Thank you both for giving the world your individual and extremelly splendid art!
Imagine this new generation doesn't even recognize them
Oh we do, at last I do. My father intruduced me to these movies, now I'm here at 15 listening to Morricone finest pieces non-stop. And of course, Leone is a genius too
. @@evzalxheladini1205
That word Eternal ~ brilliant
It's pathetically sad isn't it? A generation not knowing how iconic these movies and their soundtracks are as a piece of societal consciousness is next to unbelievable. We need to make sure Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone are taught in the classroom in High School as part of a "society and culture 101" course and all students must take it or they don't graduate. If they have to strapped to chairs so be it. Louis Armstrong would be on the list of artists to be taught as well. If you don't know these greats you aren't a worthy member of society simply. All teens should come out better for the experience. They may discover that some of the garbage they listen to uses snippets of classic artists in their samples/beats.
@@andrewlowe9969 totally agreed
50% of the success of the film is the music that accompanies the film. When it is tense, the film is also tense. And so the viewers don't fall asleep...
This music you wrote is immortal just like the westerns you recorded with Sergio.
@alespersin6066 Ennio Morricone, John Williams, and Nino Rota are my favourites (many others are worthy of course). The music can be 50% of the character to me. As a guy who plays saxophone and guitar (believes he can sing a note or two lol!) - I can't help but hear the melody, tone, and timbre first. Everything else comes in secondary.
Peace & love from Melbourne, Australia ✌❤🔥
The combined efforts of Leone and Morricone can make 5 minutes of people staring at each other feel like the most intense thing ever.

HI all you youngsters out there. I’m 78 and still enjoy the Sergio leone westerns. The best there ever was. Added to which the music by Ennio morricone makes sheer it bliss. Can’t count the number of times I’ve watched them all. Enjoy.
Both of them are legendary. I'm 16 and I finally got around to watching the Dollars trilogy (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, etc) and inspired me to start writing screenplays for movies I hope to make when I'm older. Listening to Ennio Morricone's scores and Luis Balcalov's scores just make me more inspired
I am 42. It's good to see both olders and youngers likes those musics and movies! Respect!

sorry for your loss my family is Mexican and my grandmother loves Westerns since she grew up on a ranch
You know if you never forgeting him. He lives eternely in your mind . 😉throught the music like this, pics and memorically smells too
I saw Ennio Morricone & his orchestra in London at the O2 shortly before his death, he was then in his 90's, I also later went back to the same venue to see his son conducting Ennio's orchestra while playing Ennio's music.
To me Ennio Morricone was & still is the Greatest composer of all time ( & not just for western music ), as he dared to be so different & experimental with his music, which made his music so unforgettable & instantly recognisable, so much so that if Ennio Morricone has scored the music to a movie then you'll know so from the first few notes as no other composers music sounds quite like Ennio Morricone's.
Thank you for your magnificent music Mr Morricone & R.I.P.
I agree. Congratulations.
I traveled to Bologna IT from Utah US to see him live before he died. Cried 5 times through the concert. Eternal peace Maestro Morricone.

I hear yah.
Him and sergio leone created a whole new genre....just the 2 of em.
Yeah
so damn true!!!
And not just old western films! From videogames to every genres of movies Ennio changed the way we think about soundtrack
For me this music is from another universe. I am fifty and I was introduced to Sergio Leone films I was ecstatic with the interaction between seeing and hearing. I keep going back to these days when I hear Maestro's music. What a synthesis, my soul and my heart and my entire body almost aches. I submerge in another dimension being floated into music!
I can't imagine those movies without this man's music. RIP.
great comment and so true

A Rivederci ed a Risentirci!
40 years ago in my home country, they used to play A Fistful of Dollars , For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, every year on local TV. I used to watch them every time. Years later I migrated to the U.S. and I kept my tradition. I am watching the movies every year. It brings all the memories back, and I get to live with the characters again. Love.
Excellent. I have every single version of Leone's Dollars Trilogy on DVD: must have watched these three films hundreds of times. Believe it or not the 'cemetery' location at the very end of the Good The Bad & The Ugly (Sad Hill) has been reconstructed to look as it did in the film. I visit Portugal regularly and am very tempted to hop over the border to Spain to visit the place some day.
Definitely the three best westerns I have ever seen
A Fistful of Dollars was the movie we saw in Marine Boot Camp in 1969. And when I got out----I later took a poor girl to a Drive-in movie triple-header with all three movies. Think she only made it awake thru the 1st movie.
I For a Few Dollar more, and The Good the Bad and The Ugly, I kept it for more than 40 years. I used to have A Fist Full of Dollars, but I lost it, I couldn't find it. So sad.
Welcome to the US, my friend.
Where did you come from?
Mates, i am a musician, and to this day I don t know who can do better than that. This music takes you where Sergio Leone wants you to be for a little while. This is the music I would ask for my funerals. Hopefully in a while,
It can't be overstated how effective this music is in transporting you to the Wild West. The Spaghtetti Westerns would be nothing without Ennio Morricone's beautiful mind.
Dici sciocchezze ! Gli spaghetti western girati da Sergio Leone forse il più grande regista della storia del cinema per te non contano nulla.
Они оба сделали великий вклад в кинематограф.
Perché Sergio Leone voleva Morricone per i suoi film ? Perchè era un genio perché senza la sua musica i film non sarebbero stati gli stessi non avrebbero avuto lo stesso impatto che hanno avuto sul pubblico@@Giuseppee62
@@mimmoamato8335 tu pensi che un appassionato di cinema, andrebbe a vedere un brutto film, perché c’è una buona musica.
The music and filming go hand in hand as perfect art. Morricone and Leone were grand masters for their crafts. One isn't without the other, pure genius at its best!
My father, who still lives, introduced these movies to me as a child and I am forever grateful! Every time I sit down to watch one always brings me back to my childhood with my father. I am now 55 yrs old. 😊

I did the same with my son, i hope he will enjoy with this musica he is now 15 years old
My neighbor listens to this at least once a week. Whether they like it or not!
These movies are so great, no studio has the guts to remake them. Can't screw with perfection.
They were remakes of japanese classics of their own right - they just took them to a whole new level. I think it's the lack of hollywood polish, grimy/sandy costumes, moral ambiguity and, of course, the excellent soundtracks that made the films. There are times in the films when you don't even realise the music has started, having grown up from the silence... the tension so real. :)
My dad introduced me to “Spaghetti Westerns” in the 1970’s, and I’m so glad that he did. Miss you, Pop. RIP

My Dad died 11 years ago on Oct 5th 2010 My Dad was at the Very Top of the list of Sergio Leon western lovers. He took me almost once every month to the drive-in to see the trilogies of Clint Eastwood films. I was around 6 years old, and I would always sit on the roof of his beach (station) wagons he owned. A lifetime for 50 years in a row we would continue watch, listen to the Albums and talk about those good times nearly every day. As far as I am concerned it was the best moments of my life. We worked together and lived together till the end. I still feel them memories in my heart and sole. On his birthdays and passing day I sit and listen and watch for hours to these songs and watch these movies. I consider myself to be a tuff man. But the memories of these movies being enjoyed with greatest man I have ever known (loved) sill flow a river of tears to this day. How can something So Good Hurt So Bad?
god bless his soul

you miss a point i think that is important, without morricone sergios films would never been such a hit, but imagine a collaberation with kubrick. sergio and kubrick together and morricone delivering the music

Great composer.
It blows my mind that he was a grade school classmate of Leone. That was the Lord at work. One of his many contributions to music was the prominence of wordless voices in his compositions.
In 2010 my adult son and I traveled south of Rome to lay flowers at Leone's grave. We were met by a locked cemetery. We went around back out of sight and scaled the wall to complete our mission, and I treasure the photos from that day. If I'm ever in Rome again I hope to visit Morricone's grave.
Thats an amazing match so early in life. Beautifully put, my compliments for making the effort of creating such a memory with your son.
👍🏻
Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone were pure genius. Period!
Gunfire becomes a musical instrument in the hands of Ennio Morricone. Human vocals, whistling, shouting, and gunshots have never sounded so good. Amazing.
This band does that pretty well too. . ua-cam.com/video/3plBzBB8LE8/v-deo.html
you think u know gunfire???????????????????
early on, Ennio just didn't have the budget to keep an orchestra on call, and used any sound he could get - and a new sound was born! But his orchestral work is wonderful, too.
It's very cool...sometimes a bit like surf roc ala Dick Dale but truly unique to Ennio Morricone himself, pure genius to match the genius of Sergio Leone's epic westerns.
What if I told you there is a song that utilizes canon fire as a percussion instrument?
Gen Z, this is movie 🎬 music. Slow down, open your mind, and listen. If you don't enjoy it, then know why your generation is so instant coffee. 😊
Truly, the greatest western movie themes ever. The movies are timeless. Once Upon A Time In The West is a masterpiece. Seeing these, way back then as a kid was life-changing. I have watched them all 100 times or more and will in the future.
Most evil part I ever saw Fonda play. Man with a Harmonica gives me chills.
Love the flick and the music. Watching it again this weekend.
@@willrun4fun ....Henry Fonda as a very bad guy, was unthinkable at the time. I couldn't believe it!
I still think The Good , the Bad and the ugly was the best of them all

Amazing. Ennio Morricone is 90-years-old and is still working for films today.
I will see him live this Saturday! The maestro is 90 years old, incredible!
the hateful eight.. !
He is amazing. Was to one of his concerts a few years ago on his '60 Years in Music' tour.
After 70 Years old He Finally won an Oscar. For His Work in the Hateful eight.

What a majestic piece of music. People that can’t appreciate this are truly lost. RIP Ennio Morricone.
😂
Ennio Morricone is the Mozart of our time. These modern epics will be a narrative for greatness now and in the foreseeable future.
Oui
For me Ecstasy of Gold is the greatest piece of music ever written. I know that's a bold statement, but it gets me deep down inside my soul every time I hear it. Just an amazing composer.
Agreed ...He made Italy proud with his genius ( Sergio Leone as well)
Ennio Morricone, Absolute musical GENIUS !!!!
Still the greatest movie composer ever! I love this guy!
My father was a very big Clint Eastwood, spaghetti western fan watched these many times with my Dad, sadly Dad passed away when I was only 11 yrs old, this music will eternally remind me of him and what a wonderful Dad he was passed27/07/83, I also love this music now as does my 23 yr son born 27/07/2001old son yes thats right 18 yrs to the day my Dad passed away xxx
What about Lee van Cleef, he was the 1st one contacted by Sergio Leone. 🐎🐎🐎
Same here, my dad passed away this year, these great songs and movies will always remind me of him
bless you, and I mean that as a fan, not because i.m religous, although, im with you on the music!
Ennio Morricone cannot be someone from this world. An amazing musical genius. Rest in peace, great master.😢
My dad loved Eastwood, and so did I, we enjoyed all his movies but the westerns were total masterpieces, music,actors all of it! I miss you Dad!❤❤
They weren’t his- mostly Sergio Leona’s. Just saying.
Then there's no need to close my bank account 😭
My "Husband" of 32 years, passed away this summer . We did not have a paper on our love, we carried it in our hearts. He and Ennio Morricone came from the same warm people. When music fills the house, we are filled with miss and big Thank you for the many good years we got together. Just as music knows no boundaries, love doesn't know anyone either, and there is no age set on when you meet the right person you want to grow old with.
Sorry for your loss. One day altogether once again.
Beautiful
Ennio Morricone, the great master. Your compositions make the soul vibrate. God bless you. Thanks for existing!
A complete genius!
We cannot forget Ennio morricone, Sergio Leone,Clint Eastwood, Lee van cleef And Eli Wallach. We never forget them.
Clint Eastood is still alive...
@@zclindy yeah!And he is my favorite actor . I loved his films .
Your right there will never ever be anyone like them again , my mum and dad made me watch them in the 70's and i still love them and the music 👌
We cannot forget the cast of Once Upon A Time In The West.
My friends, family members keep asking ''why I keep listening these musics over and over" I say to them 'there isn't anything better than this to listen"..Never gets old, stays fresh everyday.
good example for stupidity. morricone a 3rd class componist only rem. of his emotional bindings to 2sc grade movies is now the high of music.
@@klauskinski5969 just out of curiosity, what do you consider good music? I see you spamming your hatred of Morricone all over this comment section, so I really wonder what you think is better.
@@KevyNova when did i say morricone did not made good music? learn to read, i just refuse to act like he was a musical god. if he where, then everybody would know him for his music without any knowledge of the movies.

Ennio Morricone won't be recreated again anywhere any place any time. He's just one of a kind. A musician of incomparable talent .
Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone, the duo that revolutionized Films and Film Soundtracks.
amillionguns
Absolutely propelled the musical soundtracks..... None of today's soundtracks will ever match it...The Duo combination is ,was,and will always be "the best"...!
agreed.
Nolan and Zimmer...
Dont forget Alessandro Alessandrini and his legendary whistling skills !
Yes , deadly duo
There will be nothing like this ever again. A masterpiece.
Yep...The man is our pride in this country ( Italy)
I agree with that
it just wouldnt be possible now, where would the juice come from? amazing, just thankful these pieces of humanity at our best took place
My Dad taught me to play the guitar “Fistful of dollars” when I was 12yso, no matter I was a girl. He suddenly passed away after the night in 93’ & I’ve missed Dad almost everyday more than last 30years. Listening the music to bring my Dad back to me 🥲🥲. Thanks a lot Ennio, believe you RIP, like my Dad ❤❤
I need to hear this to have hope and stay sane in an insane world. Thank you.
I hear you. And yet, weren't those movies about men doing inhumane things to others, just on a smaller scale than today?
@@Mr22thou the violence yes, but the outright meanness of today was missing, thanks be to God.
@@lakotafire2804 correct, spoken by a true human who clearly knows the difference
Most people measure their sanity by comparing with others around them. I wouldnt use that approach for the time being.
Use beauty like this to cling on
The soul is golden
Thank you Maestro. You lived a long, beautiful life and gave us timeless masterpieces to enjoy for eternity. Your amazing work will give you the closest thing to immortality. RIP
The spaghetti Western music by Ennio Morricone take me to a different place. I was a teenager when my Grandfather, Dad and I went to watch all of Clint's movies. When I am stressed, I sit back and just listen, and very loud. I love this magic of Ennio, and it is endless in beauty.
Greetings from Poland -E.U. Tom ! - You have polish surname soo, I supose You have polish family. Best wishes and Merry Christmas . - Michael Szczecin City Poland
I've heard that Morricone hated expression Spaghetti Western. I think I´ve read it in one of the book about him.
Im a composer...I could almost forget the whole thing and just listen to Morricone all day
Non chiamateli spaghetti western, questa e' arte Italiana, e Morricone e' unico, un grande artista.
Gridalo forte Franco!!! Morricone è un simbolo italiano per eccellenza e la sua musica sarà sempre ricordata con immenso piacere, di arte ne capiamo solo noi, questi mettono la panna nella carbonara e l'ananas sulla pizza, ma per favore, portino rispetto!!!
Un fenomeno che rimarrà per sempre nella storia
Sim. Sua óbra enaltece ao povo italiano e a todos os fãs do western. Brasil, 05/06/2020
Franco Usai cette qualification de western spaghetti n’est nullement péjorative désormais. Elle l’était probablement à l’origine mais l’opinion publique et les critiques se sont ravisées et finalement reconnu la magistrale prouesse et l’indiscutable valeur cinématographique des films de Sergio leone et la musique d’ennio morricone. Seul le sens artistique d’ italiens auraient d’ailleurs pu produire de tels chef d’œuvres...
@Martin Grey li chiamavano cosi i critici perche negli anni 60' i film erano fatti dagli italiani e girati in italia o spagna e anche perche sergio leone era un sucesso
OMG! This music makes me remember every film.Clnt Eastwood and Lee van Cleef! And Eli Wallach! Unforgettable! Thank you!
One could close their eyes and picture the movie scene it’s epic music on a level unimaginable and unattainable by other composers.
Yes, dont fergot the great villain gian velonte in the first full of dollars and a few dollars more .
I used to drive truck over the road. In the mornings whenever I was in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas etc. and starting my day, I would put on the sound track to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It always made the trip better.
Good wishes from El Paso amigo.

For a few dollars more
Fistful of dollars
Once upon a time in the west

The music of dollars triology is pulsating. I keenly listen to it quite often. It lends a new mesmerising wave everytime.
Great work by Ennio Morricone.
dollar days havent ended it goes on
@sanjeevsharma8993 If you haven't indulged already (and you probably have), check out "Once Upon A Time In America". Directed by Sergio Leone, with music composed by our beloved Ennio Morricone. My father and I considered it the greatest movie of all the time. Each to their own of course. ❤🔥
Morricone's music is perfect for Sergio Leone's western movies
The Best
Its perfect for red dead redemption 2
actually people say that Leone wrote plots of his movies after the music!
(As it was often done in Italy during the first half of 1900's ...)
@@malhernand9881 pppp
@@tizianoamato4574 correct. He had Morricone write the music first and then he started making his films
when i get older and my legs dont move as much...... i am going to create a room with a beautiful sound system and a big screen and play Sergio movies and listen to the Maestros music.... not throughout the day but at least a hour or two everyday. Immerse myself in the divine... and thank god for sending us this genius who built another world . What a sense of music.... From Once upon a time in the west with the haunting voice of Edda Dell Orso or Gabriels Oboe in the Mission, or Death of a Soldier from the Good ,Bad and Ugly. Thank you , My dear Sir...... For giving us this beautiful music. Our eyes fill with tears... out of happiness and sadness, of memories and lost time... for all this thanks.
Im 85 and that's exactly what I am doing now ! ! !
Nice one!
Ont ecoute aux meilleures dans toutes branches
I was with my Mom, full time, the last few years of her life. One of the great joys was watching old shows/movies that she loved and hadn't seen in years. I didn't know beforehand, but she loved all of Clint Eastwood's Westerns. I rented everything Netflix had - which was everything! - and we slowly made our way through it all, anthology style. Those were the Best Years of my adult life... never to be equaled. We were close beforehand, but the things we learned about one another, and the resolution of small misunderstandings that had been left on dusty shelfs can not be overstated. Life is short... love who you would love and pardon all others with equal fervor. Blessings to everyone here!
I am glad your time was well spent with your mom. I am thinking of doing something similar with my father, when the time comes, if I can.
Ditto, Clint and Charles Bronson.
Blessings.
❤
I lost my Dad in April of 2024 - I remember watching these movies with him as a boy - I plan to watch them with my boys and my grandsons...it's a way to reconnect to my Dad ...
Miss you Dad .
Sorry for your loss
I can see my childhood through these songs.I can see my whole family young and healthy and happy…
So can I being 79 years old.
Always x
It wasn’t until I was older and mature watching the movies again that I realized that there was a lot more to them than “ shoot ‘em up”. Ennio’s music made the movies the masterpieces that they are!
I have lived in Colorado in the American West for some forty years and no music better captures the grandeur of the landscapes here than Ennio Morricone's. Yes, I'm aware many of the film's this music scored were created in Europe, but the land they evoked was the American West. When I travel in Colorado and other Western states, I play Morricone's music on my car's stereo system.
I'm a fellow Coloradan as well and I couldn't agree more.
You lucky person🍀💚🇨🇮
You know Ray, i'm from Argentina and by the 1970's when most of Morricone's hits were known by the films of Sergio Leone and Clint Easwood among others, Argentina was still in most provinces an unexplored territory, and by the way from the age 50 onwards people here have a particular taste for these movies (in my case i'm much younger but inherited that taste from my dad). These movies and music are more universal than what you might think. Also by 1860's which is the time i which the american civil war took place, it was the same situation in Argentina (unitarios vs federales) and lasted for long time. By the way The Good The Bad and The Ugly, is from 1967 and was filmed in the desert of Almeria, Spain, only that it's so similar to the west of the US that you fly and believe for that moment that you are in 1860's american civil war. And, the word ''Spaghetti'' from Sphagetti Western, refers to the italian directors and actors (Leone and Morricone are italians, plus mostly were fimed in natural locations in Spain and Italy) and are sub-genre of the Western; that is the Sphagetti Western.
As a native Utahn, I can confirm. I actually went on a really long motorcycle trip from california to utah and toured all the national parks last summer and listened to this. There is no more perfect soundtrack.
I think that we can all agree that this music is haunting and beautiful, and evokes the imagery of dry desert landscapes - regardless of geographic location. Whether it's Spain, Argentina, the USA or elsewhere, Ennio Morricone crafted the perfect music to evoke the images of these desolate places!
I have only once ever watched Once Upon a Time in the West and it was just a few years ago. It was stunning in every way, acting, scenery and music. But easily in my top ten films of all time. That scene with Harmonica walking out with the words "Some day" leaving Jill alone and Cheyenne who is slowly dying. Almost no dialogue but the music of Ennio Morricone - its cinematic artistic perfection in three minutes.
His soundtracks were unique not only for the melodies, but in particular for the "special effects" that he included in his music. The use of special and particular musical instruments that made a particular effect, which created an atmosphere, a tension in the scenes of the films to make them immortal scenes. Without his music, the films that later became would not have become. He has created unique compositions that no one else in the world has ever made. Our Michelangelo, our Leonardo da Vinci of music. GRAZIE MAESTRO for all the emotions you have given us !

RIP to this ABSOLUTE LEGEND of a composer
The best and most versatile composer of all time. Just the number of over 500 (!) film scores to compose is simply incredible. This includes the film music for the five-hour monumental film "1900". He has composed for about 2 complete films per month. It is simply unimaginable what Ennio Morricone has achieved in his life.
Just listening to his music, the movie runs in your head. WOW ❤️
ennio morricone, genial compositeur de musique de film, merci Mr Morricone.
Con Te se ne va un Mito, una Leggenda, Imennsa, Incommensurabile, Inarrivabile. Con Sergio siete stati la mia gioventù, sieste stati i miei eroi, insieme a Clint, Gianmaria, Eli, Lee, Charles, Claudia, Henry, Jason, Giuliano, Fernando, Nieves, Rod, James, Robert, Tomas e tutti gli Altri. Adesso, tu e Sergio, dovrete impegnarVi ancor di più, perchè il Vostro set sarà il Paradiso. R.I.P. Ennio, forever and ever.
PERFETTO. NIENTE DA AGGIUNGERE

I still get chills listening to his music , so perfect and fitting for his movies. He was a genius .
Ironically it was quiet the opposite as far i know.. Sergio Leone told: that Ennio Morricone first made the music, and Sergio than tried to make to movie fit to the music. That was the ''secret'' - so that the result seemed: that the music fit perfectly to the movie.
@@PygmalionFaciebat That's fascinating , I would have thought that the movie inspired the brilliant music. Both are genuine classics.
It's 2024, and every self-respecting man needs to dig down deep and find his inner Clint Eastwood. The world needs you now more than ever.
The best western music!!
Si amigo.
almost .lol (;
Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone, the cinematography, and of course the script. An example of what true masters of Art can produce...Hollywood was never able to produce such westerns, to the present...

@@hansypansy5 Yeah, unfortunately i think you're right. And it isn't just westerns. Good movies nowadays are as rare as rain in the desert. 99% it's just chewing gum cinema. There's 3 or 4 directors out there that do try and still make good movies, but this level of directing, consistency, and artistic quality, i think it's gone.
A chaque fois cette belle musique me rappelle mon père, j'étais petit et mon grand plaisir est de regarder les films de Sergio Leone avec lui 😢
I see that the entire world loves Morricone, really music has no boundaries. This moves your soul, no matter how many times you hear it, you always yearn for more.
