Photo: Tiziana Fabi/AFP via Getty Images My parents tell me that when I was a baby, one of the few things that could get me to stop crying was Ennio Morricone’s score for A Fistful of Dollars. It certainly makes sense. I don’t know when I first heard the name “Morricone”; it’s lost in that distant region of childhood that’s inaccessible to memories.
The classic Morricone composition is built around what starts off as a very basic, sweet, almost childlike melody — gently whistled or softly crooned or played on a simple instrument, a lone flute or tinkling piano or even a desolate harpsichord; sometimes, it’s a musical pocket watch. Listen to the central motifs of A Fistful of Dollars, or For a Few Dollars More, or Duck! You Sucker, or 1900, or Come Maddalena, or The Mission, or The Desert of the Tartars, or The Bird With the Crystal Plumage.
Over and over in Morricone’s work we hear this structure repeated. An innocent, expressive melody ambushed by drums and distant trumpets and unlikely sound effects — animal shrieks, ominous thumps, hyena-like wails, mysterious nocturnal crowing — rolling toward a newfound, fearsome beauty.

Ennio Morricone, Prolific Italian Composer for the Movies, Dies at 91The Italian composer, who scored more than 500 films — seven for his countryman Leone after they had met as kids in elementary school — died in Rome following complications from a fall last week People regard him as a great film composer, he wasn’t. He was a great composer who wrote everything from pop songs to full scale settings for masses. He will rightly be regarded as one of the giants of 20th century music along with Prokofiev, Vaughn Williams, Glass etc. The soundtrack to The Mission is a journey to empathy. What a contribution. May he rest in peace. This is very, very sad 😔😔😔 RIP
