At 91, a hip fracture is pretty much a death sentence. RIP.

The Danish National Symphony has the very best renditions of Morricone’s work especially “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. Its readily available on You Tube.

Cinema Paradisio and The Mission were my favorite soundtracks.

Great composer. Who would have thought electric guitars and westerns would go so well together? Some of the great sequences in the Sergio Leone westerns were shot like music videos to showcase Morricone's music. I can watch Tuco running though the graveyard and the final face-off in The Good, the Bad & The Ugly over and over.

Yo Yo Ma has a great album of Morricone music. His cello works extremely well with the compositions.

RIP

Oscar winner Ennio Morricone, composer of “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”...

Has a song ever been so influential to a movie?

The Ecstasy Of Gold.

Want to see a man truly enjoying his work?
Note the cello player on the right @ 2:16.

Great composer. They could have picked a much better movie to associate his name with. Hateful Eight was satanic.

Brilliant composer who captured the essence of the movies on which he worked - and often elevated them.

RIP.

I hate it when these news headlines reduces a lifetime of achievements down to a recent hit or piece. Ennio is a giant among all time and has so many great musical pieces that he should be headline as a great that died

The man with the harmonica by Morricone is pretty good.

Between him, Elmer Bernstein and Lalo Schifrin, you have more than half the movies in my collection.

Also composed the memorable score for John Carpenter’s 1982 version of “The Thing”. Haunting....
