“Flat out classical music that was written for the movie and does an extremely good job at conveying the mood of the scene.’
Gotta go with you here. Soundtrack, not just in the shootouts, but in the fort, the monastery hospital, and prison camp scenes. A great western and also a great anti-war movie.
The music for “Once Upon a Time in the West” and the music for “The Good The Bad And The Ugly” was all done by the one and only Ennio Morricone.
