Sad news, composer of some iconic film scores.

 

[Is it PotG?]

RIP, great writer.

 

[Eric Potts]

Great composer . Now decomposing.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Anyone care to post a YT of their favourite tune?

I give you Cinema Paradiso

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Personally I genuinely think the music for “The Mission” is the best film soundtrack ever. The music really seemed to echo and enhance the action. Gabriel’s Oboe always gives me goose bumps. He was the best. RIP

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

 

[Is it PotG?]

Can't beat a rousing trumpet

 

[Barrow Boy]

Iconic film, scene and music.

Saw him at the o2 last year. Was incredible, and I didn’t really know his work.

 

[Swansman]

Nooooooooooo

I love Morricone. When I was a kid, me and all the relatives used to go to grandpa to celebrate Christmas, and I always thought it was boring as hell... but also looked forward to when him and my uncles had got a bit drunk, because they would all go to his smoking room, put Morricone on the vinyl and light one up. Been in love with Morricone's stuff since age 5 or so.

If you really think about it, Western is (or was) really a pretty silly movie genre. People with nothing to do but to pretend to be tough - in those hats - and pictures of tumbleweed saying "bump" by night. Morricone was the one who made them (except for High Plains Drifter, good regardless) actually watchable.

With the weather outside seems like a perfect opportunity to watch the "Dollar" trilogy tonight.

The whole trilogy! I hope you’ve got plenty of smokeables and pizza in!

 

[METALMICKY]

Some truly iconic stuff. And how many of us have the Good, The Bad and the Ugly as our mobile message tone?

And personally love the Ecstasy of Gold which Metallica have had as their concert walk on music for years

...and he could play left back

For Roma no less. Very composed on the ball

 

[Questions]

Iconic film, scene and music.

That really is one of cinemas great scenes. That perfect coming together with the music being given the top role in the scene.The emotion of it all. Leonne perfect as well...

I’m an admire of most of Taratinos work and I’m glad he’s pays homage to these greats

Has to be right up there with the greatest film scores of ALL time. Unbelievably good.
What's extraordinary about Morricone was the sheer number of classic scores he wrote.
A musical master if ever there was one.
