Yes indeed a sad loss to us but rest in peace is one thing this lovely genius wont be doing im sure, i bet the lord creator will ask him to make some great music scores for the "Gang" in the sky-------------lucky Bar-----wa wa wa!!!! xxxxxxx
Stationed in Naples, Italy when the "Dollars" trilogy first came out, I got to see the films before they had been dubbed into English and sent to the U.S. From the first of the three, I was amazed at the brilliance of the film -- and the music knocked my sox off. That was when I first knew the names Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone. Watching the films, in Italian, you didn't need to know the language to understand what was going on; that was part of the Leone/Morricone genius, may they Rest In Peace. The "Dollars" themes. The Ecstacy of Gold; the Main theme; the climax at the cemetery. Jill's theme; the Bronson character's theme; Frank's theme; and on and on toward the entire score of The Mission and of Once Upon a Time in America, etc. Magnificent films. Brilliant cinematography and art direction; the Civil War sequence alone (dug-in troops and equipment; the bridge; the cemetery) is greater than any set design and art direction I had ever seen -- and the equal to any I've seen since then. But the music -- my goodness, the music. "Jill's Theme," from Once Upon a Time in the West. As many times as I've viewed the film, that piece is still an example of perfection, especially when she is introduced in the movie, at the train station in town, the camera rises over the roof of the building as the great musical bridge crescendos... Perfection. Thank you for posting this. And thank you both, again, Sergio and Ennio; you gave gifts that this old man will always cherish.
Although Ennio Morricone never learned to speak English, he did not need to - his classic, wonderful, beautiful and outstanding music and film scores did all the talking for him. He will be sadly missed but his legacy will never be forgotten.
I am so deeply and so humbly and utterly honored to be an insignificant part in an era of a giant. Whenever I hear one of his piece it always gives me chills and moisture in my eyes mysteriously appears. Of course there were once Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi, Scarlatti etc. but all of them were a part of a different era. With Morricone it's kind of easy to be related to because there was a chance to witness his greatness conducting live. I will always have a special place reserved for Morricone's music for it is profound beyond any reasonable explanation.
Devic667.......i totally agree......his music touches me as no other, the only music that makes me cry. I've recently had the pleasure of remixing (literally sewing together a patchwork of a full concert cut into 75 pieces) a professional recording of a live concert of the great Maestro. Rip.
It amazes me how he went on to do Hateful Eight at the age he did, one of the greatest 'soundtracks' I've ever heard - just SO enveloping, it immerses you into the film like nothing else I've heard. Hopefully we hear more greatness from this genius.
When I heard about the death of Ennio Moriconne I cried. His music really affected me on a spiritual level. The only other musician who I think has an affect like that on me is Brian Wilson. Just knowing that he is no longer with us is heartbreaking. Rest In Peace Ennio Moriconne.
I was always a big Ennio Morricone fan and was lucky enough to go to his concert in Belfast, actually his first ever in Ireland. His legacy will live on for centuries and may a true genius Rest In Peace.
@@marzuqahmed218 It was amazing, 'hairs on the back of your neck standing up' stuff like during the female vocal in Giù la testa. It was broadcast on BBC Radio Ulster but recordings might be hard or impossible to find. DVD/Bluray was avaiable from that tour I think. I actually found the ticket stump last night dated 18th October 2008
Maestro... non ci sono parole che possano quantificare quello che hai fatto per la musica, per noi... e per aver fatto conoscere la parte MIGLIORE dell' Italia nel mondo ... la tua umiltà, professionalità e amore per la famiglia deve essere di esempio per tante persone che non sanno, neanche, il significato di queste parole.. grazie di cuore... riposa in pace...
James B all the electronic work in The Thing was done by John Carpenter - Morricone wrote the orchestral stuff and not much of it was remaining by the final cut. Sorry to disappoint.
Ennio Morricone's score to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) is regarded as one of the most recognizable and influential soundtracks in history. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Long before I knew his name, his melodies, harmonies and arrangements were mesmerising me on the very many different and disparate movies scores he wrote. When I found out that the same composer was responsible for all these movie scores, movies that I loved, it was a genuine revelation. RIP Maestro.
A true gift to the world. The Sergio Leone Western films were great , but the comps he created from 1969 through the mid 70's were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. My ears were on early since I was no more than 7 years old.... walking into Tower Records ( Sunset blvd) in 1976 with my parents. Playing on the record was "La lucertola" from the film "A Lizard in a Womans Skin" ( a 1971 film). To hear a Flugelhorn for the first time was incredible...a true masterpiece! From that point, I had my ear to this man's incredible composition artistry. I bought tickets to see him in 2009 at the Hollywood Bowl but the show was cancelled due to his health . His legend will continue to inspire us all....Rest In Power Mr. M. 🙏❤️
@@bwsmyhero Kubrick commissioned an original score for 2001, but dumped it for existing classical music. He made 3 consecutive films using classical and existing music - 2001, Clockwork Orange, and Barry Lyndon. I think it works better when properly applied. The director already knows the emotional tone of their film, and simply finds the music to match it. I used Holst's 'Planets' for my senior thesis film, and it worked perfectly - better than anything that might have been composed for the film.
I wish this was longer, "Claudia's Theme" in the film "Once Upon A Time in The West" is an amazing score along with so many others from that film. I would have liked to know how he created the music for "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", how he combined so many elements and created a song with no words...really amazing body of work!
Pure and genuine Italian artistry as by tradition ...a true Maestro .....the first ever perhaps to insert ordinary sounds (shots, etc.,) within a soundtrack ....Pink Floyd did follow the same path a few years later ...
Concerning A Clockwork Orange, the translation is completely off with respect to what Morricone says: perhaps the voiceover is condensing a longer speech, in which Morricone mentions Leone's role, but at that point it would have been interesting to hear the whole story (or more appropriate to go for a fitting edit). "I had accepted to do whatever Kubrick told me. The problem is that he wished I would write a score resembling the one I had made for Elio Petri's "Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion", although this wasn't an obstacle in itself: the joy of working for Kubrick overcame this issue, that I don't like to rehash what I have already done."
Pan flutes and Eastern Europe have a lot in common. The pan flute is a traditional musical instrument in Romanian folklore and Morricone employs one of Romania's greatest modern pan flute player. That is why it works - because it expresses the Eastern European sensibility in ways a westerner probably can't understand. And I would expect a little more research from that critic.
his most popular piece, at his live concerts is the ecstacy of gold with susana richaci on vocals....can`t get away from the good the bad and the ugly.
I've always loved his themes to "The Untouchables" and "The Mission". Too bad Sergio Leon didn't let him compose a score for "Clockwork Orange". Morricone's music in a Kubrick film could have been amazing. RIP
Obviously composer of genius! One remark to the person who talks about that sequence in „Once upon a time in America”, saying what a surprise that he used a panpipes over the East European characters, because he associated that with Italians in the rest of the film. Well, actually, the panpipes is an instrument that has a tradition in Romanian folklore, not Italian. The artist playing in that soundtrack is Gheorghe Zamfir, the great Romanian panpipes master. So Morricone was right even on that little detail, which I don't think he took into account.
He seems to be quite taken by the whole Italian angle. He makes a comment that Ennio couldn't be French or American, that he could only be Italian... uh, why?
on the other hand, Vladimir Cosma, who is Bucharest-born, already utilized Zamfir's panpipes back in 1972 in the French movie "Le grand blond...". One shouldn't forget that.
Nutsilica I guess his music has some recognizable Italian roots, maybe that conductor found some connections with other Italian composers or with Italian culture (I'm sure different cultures can translate into music, but you have to be able to recognize them). Also, Morricone is well known for using instruments typical of the Italian folklore, like in the film "Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto": when you hear the music for that you think that it must be Italian!
There is John Williams and Ennio Morricone... One when I imagine the film and dream about it's world. One when I sit and write the film thinking about the story details, flow, dialogue. Guess who is for what.
Morricone's score for The Mission is beautiful and very powerful. The also did the Untouchables and yes he did The Thing but that is little less known and Morraconi spoke about how he was often disappointed with working with other directors because he had very little collaboration with these directors unlike Leone. He and Leone worked very closely together and if I'm not mistaken I think he said in one interview that the film score was done first and than played on the set as Leone directed.
Then, had Ennio eventually worked for Kubrick in "A clockwork orange", they would have played chess a lot, case Kubrick was a consummate chess player himself
@@skyjuke2006 Yes, he was indeed. In one of the fews interviews he gave on the radio, he tells that he would spent the whole summer before getting into movies playing chess in Central Park with whoever player available. According to Kubrick himself, with the money he made from those chess games, he would pay for his own stuff, including visual equipment.
Oh, to have heard what he would have done with "A Clockwork Orange" would have been wonderful. Whether Kubrick would have actually used it is another matter. And he's right, "spaghetti western" is and was a derogatory term. That said, he's remembered for those scores because they're so damn singularly GREAT!
The Pan pipe is actually typical for Eastern Europe. Pan is a Greek deity. Gheorghe Zamfir, the invited performer for recording the score, is Romanian.
As already pointed out the pan pibe has east european traditions linked to it even though many people associate it more with asian culture. But since the whole movie/series starts in an asian opium den, there is a connection in the music, which is a brilliant move from Leone and Morricone. It can (and has been) be argued that the whole story of "Once Upon a Time in America" is an opium infused dream/memory and so it all ties together with the East european/asian musical influences and THAT is why Ennio Morricone is and always will be the master!
I don't think you can talk about Morricone's career without a mention of his giallo and b-movie scores in the 70's. Also, pan pipes/pan flutes do have a lot in common with Eastern Europe...

As much as I admire this mans musical legacy, I must be honest here: A Clockwork Orange belongs to Wendy Carlos, now..one can only ponder what Ennio might have produced . Such Is Life If one doesnt believe in magic then find Yo Yo Ma playing Ennios music, you will believe. Peace
Kubrick also considered Morricone to do the music for "Barry Lyndon". I think Kubrick's issue was that he'd had a bad experience with Alex North composing a useless original score for "2001" and so Kubrick tended to rip music from other sources for his films.
Yes, but, if I understood properly, he, Kubrick, never pissed neither Sergio Leone nor Ennio Morricone off, in order to have the latter work in A clokwork orange soundtrack, which certainly tells something about Stanley Kubrick, in that at the end of the day he was respectful to Leone's work, another fellow director like himself, not interfering with Leone and Morricone collaboration at the time.
@@mirazusta2002 Well, Kubirck, as far as I know, never was a raging lunatic to go after people coercing them to join his project. However, if he hired someone he demanded their undivided attention and complete devotion. Kubrick was a slave to the project and expected the same from others. I respect that, deeply!
It's time to say GOODBYE to our Beloved and Memorable Composer:
Ennio Morricone

"The most important thing is the quality." - Ennio Morricone
That is very true indeed, Maestro Morricone... Very true indeed.
The ecstasy of gold sound track, in the good the bad and the ugly, where tuco running in cemetery , for me is the best ever
his work for Once Upon a Time in the West is equally glorious and heavenly in my opinion Incredible artist!
mine too

The score for the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is the best film score ever composed. It stands alone in terms of uniqueness and quality.

Wow! I hadn't realized one composer was responsible for so much stunningly good music.
Ennio Morricone a divine master!
His last compostion is for Genova's bridge, to remember the 43 victims. He had 91 when he composed it.
It would be interesting to see how he would have scored A Clockwork Orange. But Wendy Carlos score is classic.
I can't imagine that could possibly have worked out. Morricone probably would've quit very early on.
Travis Best Why do you say that?
The score for Salo is great too.

When all of you are very old men, young men will still whisper the name Morricone.
Concerning A Clockwork Orange, the translation is completely off with respect to what Morricone says: perhaps the voiceover is condensing a longer speech, in which Morricone mentions Leone's role, but at that point it would have been interesting to hear the whole story (or more appropriate to go for a fitting edit).

Gheorghe Zamfir, god I love that guy!
Everyone knows the story about the Pied Piper. I always thought it came from Eastern Europe. Of course the music fit.
The term "Genius" has been overused for wannabe pop stars and rappers but for Ennio, it really fits the maestro
his most popular piece, at his live concerts is the ecstacy of gold with susana richaci on vocals....can`t get away from the good the bad and the ugly.
you know nothing
A god amongst composers. ..what a talent
Ennio is a genius.
what a great compsure we need more people like him most themes are lame to day
Greatest composer talking about great movie director.
Legends get legends.
the pan flute is used in Romanian folk music and maybe in other East European music
Interesting, thank you very much for that insight, I love ethnic music from all over the place.
His work in the untouchables is my favourite
I've always loved his themes to "The Untouchables" and "The Mission". Too bad Sergio Leon didn't let him compose a score for "Clockwork Orange". Morricone's music in a Kubrick film could have been amazing. RIP
Love you Ennio. You are the best!
This gentle man has a beautiful mind.
Il divino Ennio
Best movie composer ever
*Ennio, be blessed. We love you. You are far better and mature in terms of music than HansZimmer*

But since the whole movie/series starts in an asian opium den, there is a connection in the music, which is a brilliant move from Leone and Morricone.
It can (and has been) be argued that the whole story of "Once Upon a Time in America" is an opium infused dream/memory and so it all ties together with the East european/asian musical influences and THAT is why Ennio Morricone is and always will be the master!
Farewell to Cheyenne is my favorite!

Also, pan pipes/pan flutes do have a lot in common with Eastern Europe...
1 for all milano odia la polizia non può sparare da paura
Those are my favorites.
To be honest, I think Wendy Carlos did a superb job on A Clockwork Orange.
It's a great score, and fits the film well, but imagine Morricone had a chance to score it. That would've been interesting.
Don't forget Beethoven and Rossini.
Does God exist? Yes! This man is GOD!
May be inspired BY God.

@@FabioGhibli ma quello che noi sentiamo come una i x loro è la e la dicono anche molto dolcemente, prova a spiegargli che la parola bravo universalmente nota e molto usata, al plurale fa bravi perché loro dicono bravo anche se riferito a una orchestra e comunque dicendo la a sentirai anche una leggera e non è una questione di preparazione tu puoi prepararti se prima ti sei esercitato con le regole, io ancora dico ghibli non alla giapponese perché non li sapevo dicessero gibli. primo perché si dice ghibli secondo perché è dall'89 che conosco li studio di animazione e non sapevo loro dicessero gibli. d'altronde ci potevo arrivare poiché getta robot si pronuncia ghetta il che per noi ha infatti poco senso. al contrario mettendo la acca loro addolciscono invece di gutturalizzare
@@XanAxDdu Su come si pronuncia il nome della persona su cui fai il documentario ci si puo' preparare. Non stiamo parlando di una lingua straniera. Io vivo in Inghilterra e osservo che, semplicemente, il mondo anglofono ha zero propensione/voglia verso la lingua straniera, scivolando spesso e volentieri nella sciatteria o nella mancanza di rispetto.
concordo, è un loro non sbattersi.
I'm glad Morricone did not do the score for A Clockwork Orange. I'm sure it'd be great but the score we have for that film is amazing.
Ennio!!! l am curious what kind of melody you like to song at your funerall.

People please listen to the Death Track from the film Untouchables
you mean death of character of sean connery ?
Credo perche ti sia piaciuto gli "intoccabili!"
Se ti piaceva "Once upon a time in America", avresti capito che non c'era confronto
6:03 Absolutely correct. RiP Maestro.
3:10 "You hear one bar of an Ennio Morricone soundtrack and you know it's him"
Proceeds to play a piece of his SON 🤣
As much as I admire this mans musical legacy, I must be honest here:
A Clockwork Orange belongs to Wendy Carlos, now..one can only ponder what Ennio might have produced .
Such Is Life
If one doesnt believe in magic then find Yo Yo Ma playing Ennios music, you will believe.
Peace
I don't care what anybody says,
The score of "A Clockwork Orange" would be better if he had composed it.
Kubrick also considered Morricone to do the music for "Barry Lyndon". I think Kubrick's issue was that he'd had a bad experience with Alex North composing a useless original score for "2001" and so Kubrick tended to rip music from other sources for his films.

Maestro rest in peace
grazie maestro
Not to lessen anyone's value, but more people have heard and enjoyed his music than Mozart's or Bach's music.
that is normal, our listening is passive, due to what we may hear on the air

Sorry but That’s just not true
@@ruly8153 are you sure
XanAxDdu
Ya
I love his music but it’s not as popular as Bach’s
@@ruly8153 Bach ha inventato la musica! Mozart il più grande musicista e Beethoven... è la musica stessa
he should be named "one of the modern wonders"
He dodged the bullet there, now we know Stanley Kubrick had a tendency to drive people crazy with his demands.
Yes, but, if I understood properly, he, Kubrick, never pissed neither Sergio Leone nor Ennio Morricone off, in order to have the latter work in A clokwork orange soundtrack, which certainly tells something about Stanley Kubrick, in that at the end of the day he was respectful to Leone's work, another fellow director like himself, not interfering with Leone and Morricone collaboration at the time.
@@mirazusta2002 Well, Kubirck, as far as I know, never was a raging lunatic to go after people coercing them to join his project. However, if he hired someone he demanded their undivided attention and complete devotion. Kubrick was a slave to the project and expected the same from others. I respect that, deeply!
@@abehani7133 Agree, I not only respect that attitude, but I profoundly admire it.
Praise the master
...engineers don't build palaces...architects do...
So he should have called Kubric then. Many great opportunities are lost through misunderstanding and lack of communication.
I wonder what the score would have been like for A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
