Western is the first in a series of five double vinyl releases that bring together some of Ennio Morricone's greatest soundtrack music. It contains a selection of defining Morricone songs, featured in legendary (Spaghetti-) Western movies like “Once Upon A Time In The West”, "A Fistful of Dollars", "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", "A Pistol for Ringo", "The Return of Ringo" and many more, selected on 2 LPs.
View detailsI also used these realistic sounds in a psychological way. With The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, I used animal sounds - as you say, the coyote sound - so the sound of the animal became the main theme of the movie. - Ennio Morricone
I've always said that my best dialogue and screenwriter is Ennio Morricone. Because, many times, it is more important a note or an orchestration than a line said. When you manage to express something with a look and the music instead of saying it with words or having the character speak, I think it's a more complete work. - Sergio Leone
When I have to score a film, I watch the movie first and then start thinking about it. And from that moment on, it is as if I were pregnant. I then have to deliver the child, so from that moment on, I think always about the music - even when I go to the grocery store, I think about it. - Ennio Morricone
I've always loved Morricone's work ethic, just as I've always loved his aesthetic sense. It feels like we come from the same direction. - Hans Zimmer
I have to see a definitive cut of the film before I even start thinking about the music, I tell the director what my feelings are and what I would like to do. He accepts what I say or discusses it or destroys it. Eventually, we have to find a compromise. - Ennio Morricone
It was essential that I change my style for every film. - Ennio Morricone
Western is available as a limited edition of 3000 individually numbered copies on gun-smoke coloured vinyl. The package includes a 4-page insert with liner notes written by Claudio Fuiano.
From movies like “Once Upon A Time In The West”, "A Fistful of Dollars", "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", "A Pistol for Ringo", "The Return of Ringo" and many more.
An iconic piece that captured the very heart of the whole world. Morricone was a pop arranger as well, which meant that for this track orchestral instrumentation was integrated with a typical early sixties pop vibe.
Another iconic movie of the hugely popular "Dollar Trilogy" by Sergio Leone. The main theme introduced in the opening credits is considered just as famous as the "James Bond Theme". Ennio Morricone composed and orchestrated with an immense talent... jew's harp... whistle... bell tolls... grotesque voice effects... electric guitars in pop mood and an atomic explosion of orchestra and choir. We defer to such genius.
Another masterpiece by Sergio Leone where Ennio Morricone has outdone himself. A subdued introduction of harpsichord and double basses develop with the orchestra dominated by the magic voice of Edda Dell´Orso, lead up to a real explosion of the full choir by Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni.
For "Tepepa" Ennio Morricone composed a very sober main theme of revolt that develops in classical fashion with a large orchestra. “Tepepa” is an excellent Revolutionary Western directed by Giulio Petroni in 1969, starring Tomas Milian and Orson Welles.
