Morricone was known for his scores for such films as ‘The Mission,’ ‘A Fistful of Dollars’ and ‘The Hateful Eight,’ for which he won an Oscar in 2016.
A sublimely in-your-face composer, during his prime Morricone crafted music that went against a central tenet of the form. He didn’t offer subtle emotional guidance or heartstring-pulling obviousness. Rather, his scores added entire new layers and tones to movies. Serving as sort of whimsical, opinionated Greek chorus — one that could turn dark and sinister in a flash — his work played a co-starring role. Below, 10 essential Morricone scores.
Both sequels, “For a Few Dollars More” and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” gallop across similar terrain — harmonica and whistles galore. His theme for the latter has become sonic shorthand for “western pistol duel at sundown.” But Morricone composed for more than 500 movies in his life, and the “Dollars Trilogy” was just the beginning.
Addio Maestro.
