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
