^ Didn't know the Bach connection, but of course this makes sense. Pretty much every great composer acknowledges J.S. in some way.

Thanks for sharing this enlightening excerpt Udi Koomran!
It one more time reasserts the immortal power of Art Music on countless generations of music composers.......power and influence which for sure will historians of the future remember. I reckon that THAT is what the geniuses are for - prepetuating their GREAT MUSIC!
People can aknowledge better now about Ennio's well known love for literally all Classical Music historical Ages, besides one can check it out just through tubes presented here so far - btw 'The March of the Beggars' being the most obvious one (needless to say, I know), which served as a motif for a black-humoured joke on this thread.

Another amazing bit, found fortuitously. It almost sums up Morricone's whole sound in two-and-a-half minutes, careening through rock, jazz, Morricone-Western, 20th Century classical music, and more. The only Morricone trope missing is some of Alessandro Alessandroni's odd sounds - yelps, whistling, jew's harp, grunts, or the like.

Yes! More of this please.
What/when was the spark that ignited this journey?
This is amore! More of this too please.
wow. Stellar recording too - an engineers dream.
simply staggering.
EDIT: I just listened to this again and it blew my mind. If this was some French avant band that was described as Zoyd/UZ influenced, the avant junkies would be busting nuts over this, but I'm sure it will go largely on ignore for most sadly.

so beautiful.
Yup Solo Per Amore is a great score
Bulsworth I don't know - its from a later period -will check it out
What/when was the spark that ignited this journey?
Well growing up in the 60's and 70's - I guess it was invertible - I used to watch these westerns with my dad heh heh
And I was alway a cinema fan so I got to see quite a few films like Bertolucci's 1900, Leone's Once Upon A Time In America , Polanski's Frantic , Lolita The Mission etc.
Then a friend bought me Zorn's - The Big Gundown so I started paying attention And following Secret Chiefs 3 and Fantomas too
A friend showed me the Morricone Plays Morricone dvd ( amazing presentation and sound btw )
Pierre Chevalier (Present) started initiating me a couple of years ago and I loved what he played me
Early last year I saw he is back to preforming so I vowed to go and see him and this February traveled to London for his show at the O2
But it was last November when my friend Yair asked me to make him a compilation of his work and doing so suddenly had this epiphany - searching through dozens of YT clips I realized his quality/quantity ratio is like no other musician I have ever listened to ( never got into classical music ...)
So these last 8 months or so been exclusively listening to his music and turning my girls wife and anyone around to his music
and still just discovering...
That's great Udester. How is The Big Gundown? Worth picking up? I think the only thing I know of Zorn covering EM is "The Sicilian Clan" on Naked City.
Amazing.
Udi - you are spot on with the quantity/quality ratio. It doesn't matter what we post here. How gorgeous is this?
The soundtrack to The Thing (1982) seems to be underrepresented in here. It's a very desolate and creepy score and you can feel the arctic cold listening to it.
I'll give another plug for Crime and Dissonance too, chiefly because i'm listening to it now and it's great (too many orgasm noises though)

IMO one of the maestro's best efforts in the western vein is the magnificent score to the 1968 French directed Guns for San Sebastian starring Anthony Quinn and Charles Bronson. Set in 18th century Mexico, and filmed there too, the film is top notch, and Morricone's score heavenly. Here's selections from the soundtrack.
Day dawns dark...it now numbers infinity.
Oh this sounds very interesting!, will get it asap

Thanks for posting this - another amazing piece of music. There is also such a "Tim Smith" vibe here that Cardiacs fans will eat this up. I'm talking to you Beabout!
I love this one - the melody is is just beautiful (love those triangles accents)
The whole score is top drawer
Notice that the guitar accompaniment here is the foundation and later developed in Spasmo
Come again
If you want some more, check this out: Ennio Morricone - Rabbia E Tarantella
Although it's used during the closing credits of Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds' (2009), it was originally one of '74 Allonsanfān's main musical themes. Allonsanfān is a great film set in early 19th-century Italy and starring Marcello Mastroianni, with the score written by Ennio Morricone. Highly recommended.

Le Foto Proibite di Una Signora Per Bene - aka The Secret Picture of a Respectable Woman an obscure film from 1970
For me One of his top scores - he is really on the top of his game with this score
