Ennio Morricone RIP

Thelonious Monk

Very sad to hear of his death. My favourite modern composer. Did you have a favourite score that he wrote?
I love the Once upon a time in the West score

Loved Once upon a time in America really captured the characters and scenarios perfectly

RIP Ennio. His fame largely rests on the Spaghetti westerns, however latter day Morricone was a versatile composer who produced many a classic including this personal favourite:

Gun_Slinger

IMO the most perfect piece of music ever written...

Love Deborah's Theme.

His art will last centuries - I count myself lucky to have seen him conduct twice. The world should be thankful for what the Maestro brought to it.

Church on Tuesday

Sad news, another great lost.

I fully intend leaving intruction to have Gabriel's Oboe played as I'm carried out of the church; in good many years time yet though :P

What a wonderful, wonderful piece of music.

The Princess Bride

Such a privilege to see him last year on what was his last tour of Europe.
What an immensely talented genius.
To have created so many iconic tracks, so many passionate compositions, wow.

Favourite score, jeez I'd be posting all day long.
Gabriel's Oboe and Deborah's Theme are simply too beautiful for words.

Requiescat In Pace.

The theme from The Mission is one of my favourites.
I entered it in a walrus but forgot to add that it's the soundtrack version as that live one is a bit slower tempo in places. Anyway RIP he leaves quite a legacy.

I was introduced to Ennio Morricone among others after I stumbled upon Marty in the morning on Lyric Fm around 2007 to escape from the Great Depression that was all the other radio stations at the time and have listened to him ever since. The great man has left behind some legacy.RIP Eamon Macaroni.

Cinema Paradiso is my all time favourite film. The music itself could bring a tear to the eye.
RIP

3 scoundrels trying to out do each other over money, no cgi, no overly attractive actors(apart from Clint maybe) ... What could be better. The whole thing is like taking a journey, it touches on the absurdity of war, people's greed and it all cumulates in one of the best film scenes ever... 3 scoundrels staring at each for 5 minutes over money...wouldn't be half the film without the soundtrack though, it adds a certain atmosphere to it

177 minutes well spent, think I'll watch it again tonight

I would have thought Clint was about as handsome as you could possibly be! Lee Van Cleef was one hell of a cool customer too. And the ugly wasn’t even that ugly!

Genius. From one of my favourite scenes in any movie, ever. RIP.

I think a Fistful of Dollars is my favourite, Morricone AND James Coburn what more could you want!

Am feeling this today.
It's kind of, his music has been the soundtrack to my growing up.
His and John Williams.
So many memorable scores.
Time to go back and rediscover them.

Truly talented.
