My father helped her escape from a prison camp w/ most of her family. God do them well and marry u off to princesses❤
Going to the drive-in as teenagers to see three or four Sergio Leone/Morricone movies until 3am on a summer night was one of my most cherished memories of my youth. We had a little speaker in the car for sound, and as poor as that was, we thought we were on top of the world hearing Morricones music. You don't have to be Italian or whatever to love his music. No translation is required! But THANK YOU, Italy, for giving the world this gift!
Non solo per voi, italiani, ma per tutto il mondo Morricone è un maestro! Intere generazioni, i nostri padri e nonni, sono cresciuti con la sua musica. Proprio come Maradona non appartiene solo all'Argentina, ma al mondo intero, così Morricone è patrimonio dell'intera umanità.
I'm 57 and have been listening to Morricone's music for 45 years. 1000 times and I still feel the same as I did when I was 12. I wrote my A-level thesis on Sergio Leone. My teacher said it was the best thing he had ever read and he wanted me to study journalism, but I didn't do it and didn't become famous like he hoped. I turned to psychotherapy instead and often think back to what would have become of me if ... But no matter what someone does for a living, or what faith they have, or none at all, or what their social status is, anyone who has ever been touched by Morricone's incredible music is probably moved the same way. I wish all of you out there in this cold world a heart-warming night.
I'm 62, and it takes me to the moment at the drive-in. I was going to write something else, but the dying soldier song just came on. The one that Blonde shared his coat and cigar with after crossing the river. It's such a miracle that a song can be so emotional that it takes you right back to a moment in time. For me, "1972". What a great summer it was. My brother in law was so mad at me because I ran down his car battery listening to the soundtrack to "The Good,The Bad and the Ugly" on his 8-track player. Sorry, Bob, but I would do it again for Morricone! Lol
My father and I would watch these movies on a friday night.... he died in '92. I miss him terribly, and yet, hearing this... brings him straight back. thank you Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone.
Me too... I was a daddys girl, what he loved I did too & do too. They all live through you only personality is lost. Thousands of generations all leading to this moment of your scene on stage. Do them proud.
My dad died the 1st of Oct 2017, listening to this reminds me of the late nights I'd wake up, come down for a glass of water or just to stretch the legs a moment before going to bed again, he'd nearly always watch western movies and sometimes I'd join him watch a movie to the end before going to bed again, sometimes talk with him. I miss him! Miss him so much, the old fool!
May he rest in peace. I will do the same for my son. Teach him all the good stuff. One of them are western movies for sure. All the best. Btw, my son was born Oct 9th 2018.
@@ALCOR_46 What i like about Western movies in general is that, while dramatic in a lot of cases, they feel grounded and not over the top. Not to forget the unbearable hot, yet super gorgeous environment in which, nearly every movie takes place. And as of this message, had to hold a tear or 5 back last night. Forgot the movie I watched on Netflix, but it was a Western. Reminded me again about my dad. On the upside, was good memories at least.
I was a little girl growing up in a small village in Taiwan in the 1970s. We had at least 4 "foreign feature films" play on TV each weekend. I watched several Sergio's western movies at that time. It nourished my love for movies and music. When I watched the "Ennio: The Maestro" documentary in the theater 9 days ago in Taipei, I couldn't help crying as it brought back so many childhood memories. Thank you, Maestro, for enriching my life ever since.
I felt the same seeing Tornatore's documentary about Ennio. Tears and gooseflesh. I was a little girl too in the seventies and this documentary gave me the opportunity to improve my culture about Italian cinematography and music. As an Italian I felt very proud of Morricone's genius and at the same time of his great humility. Thank you for your beautiful comment 😊. Luisa
My mom loved everything clint The good bad and the ugly was one her favorites. She passed away in 2021. I watch these movies to remember the good times
HI all you youngsters out there. I’m 78 and still enjoy the Sergio leone westerns. The best there ever was. Added to which the music by Ennio morricone makes sheer it bliss. Can’t count the number of times I’ve watched them all. Enjoy.
Both of them are legendary. I'm 16 and I finally got around to watching the Dollars trilogy (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, etc) and inspired me to start writing screenplays for movies I hope to make when I'm older. Listening to Ennio Morricone's scores and Luis Balcalov's scores just make me more inspired
Italy founded the West, from the Renaissance up to the 1800s. The French and Brits took much inspiration from Italians. It's fact, America is an Italian name..
@@TimeTraveller010 arguably, Greece founded "The West", Romans got a new way of The West. Italy had been the center of the west for a long time, as you said, medieaval times, Rennaisance, the Manierism, the Baroque and Neoclasicism... despite not being a economic or military power and, for much time, not even being a political entity, Italy was a cultural center for Europe and the whole "West" From the industrial revolution however, Italy lost its importance, and the anglophone world took the lead. "The British Empire", Victorian Age, and, before these, "The Augustan Age". Britain was "The West", artistically, culturally and economically. The "Far West" is a totally american thing, yes, films like this were very important during the cold war, but the original "Far West", that is all american. "The american dream", again, totally american, and to this day, The States are the leading country of the west, no doubt about that. We are no more the center of "The West", USA is.
@@davideb.4290 Are you of Italian background? I ask so because Greece did little in establishing foundations that Italy expanded on. Greeks introduced Philosophy and nothing else, Archimedes the great mathematician of whom is Greek by proper noun is southern Italian. Rhetoric was founded in Southern Italy, I am sure you are aware of much more. The only reason culture became Anglophone is because France and England didn't want German dominance on the European continent. Germany too has had an influence on the West. Yes I am aware the U.S is the West's centre, and Germany played an influential role in that development.
When one gets Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone together, what else can one expect? Something eternally beautiful! Thank you both for giving the world your individual and extremelly splendid art!
Oh we do, at last I do. My father intruduced me to these movies, now I'm here at 15 listening to Morricone finest pieces non-stop. And of course, Leone is a genius too . @@evzalxheladini1205
It's pathetically sad isn't it? A generation not knowing how iconic these movies and their soundtracks are as a piece of societal consciousness is next to unbelievable. We need to make sure Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone are taught in the classroom in High School as part of a "society and culture 101" course and all students must take it or they don't graduate. If they have to strapped to chairs so be it. Louis Armstrong would be on the list of artists to be taught as well. If you don't know these greats you aren't a worthy member of society simply. All teens should come out better for the experience. They may discover that some of the garbage they listen to uses snippets of classic artists in their samples/beats.
"This morning, I woke up and started working from home. I poured a cup of coffee and started playing this music in the background on my headphones. As I listened, I placed the warm mug to my forehead and closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun flooding through my window. Thanks for helping to make this morning so peaceful. if you read this, doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy peaceful life where all your dreams become true."
È vero, un maestro è morto.. Grazie al genio italiano..! 1000 ore al cine con emozioni indementicabile. Quasi tutto lo bello del mondo viene d'Italia... Grazie!
L'Italia in lutto, il Mondo in lutto...Tristissimo giorno. E tutti noi siamo orfani di un sublime compositore conosciuto in tutto il mondo. Ci ha fatto sognare ed emozionare tante volte scrivendo le piu belle colonne musicale dei tutt' i tempi, e la sua musica divina rimarrà come un segno indelebile nella storia de cinema e dell'umanità...Dalla Francia anch'io piango con tutti voi.
I saw Ennio Morricone & his orchestra in London at the O2 shortly before his death, he was then in his 90's, I also later went back to the same venue to see his son conducting Ennio's orchestra while playing Ennio's music. To me Ennio Morricone was & still is the Greatest composer of all time ( & not just for western music ), as he dared to be so different & experimental with his music, which made his music so unforgettable & instantly recognisable, so much so that if Ennio Morricone has scored the music to a movie then you'll know so from the first few notes as no other composers music sounds quite like Ennio Morricone's. Thank you for your magnificent music Mr Morricone & R.I.P.
40 years ago in my home country, they used to play A Fistful of Dollars , For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, every year on local TV. I used to watch them every time. Years later I migrated to the U.S. and I kept my tradition. I am watching the movies every year. It brings all the memories back, and I get to live with the characters again. Love.
Excellent. I have every single version of Leone's Dollars Trilogy on DVD: must have watched these three films hundreds of times. Believe it or not the 'cemetery' location at the very end of the Good The Bad & The Ugly (Sad Hill) has been reconstructed to look as it did in the film. I visit Portugal regularly and am very tempted to hop over the border to Spain to visit the place some day.
A Fistful of Dollars was the movie we saw in Marine Boot Camp in 1969. And when I got out----I later took a poor girl to a Drive-in movie triple-header with all three movies. Think she only made it awake thru the 1st movie.
I For a Few Dollar more, and The Good the Bad and The Ugly, I kept it for more than 40 years. I used to have A Fist Full of Dollars, but I lost it, I couldn't find it. So sad.
My father, who still lives, introduced these movies to me as a child and I am forever grateful! Every time I sit down to watch one always brings me back to my childhood with my father. I am now 55 yrs old. 😊
I lost my dad 14 years ago watching these films with this music is awsome memories for me rakes me back to my childhood how I miss those days and my dad xxxxx
I wish a 1000 times my dad was still here today, because we would be in the livingroom right now watching one of these great westerns. And he would be telling me one of his wonderful stories, and I would be listening to it like it was the first time ever hearing it!
On a snowy cold weekend in December, I just had turned 14, my mom had left with my sisters over the weekend to visit my grandma and bake Christmas cookies. I stayed at home with my dad, I was alone in my room reading a book, when my dad knocked on my door and said: "come son, be prepared for a day of epic manliness! " He made me watch the good, the bad and the ugly, a fist full of dollars and once upon a time in the west. I'll never forget! God bless his soul. I miss you dad. epilogue: some time ago, I was home alone with my son, he was playing RDR2 in his room, I knocked on his door and said: Come son, be prepared for a day of epic manliness!
It can't be overstated how effective this music is in transporting you to the Wild West. The Spaghtetti Westerns would be nothing without Ennio Morricone's beautiful mind.
Perché Sergio Leone voleva Morricone per i suoi film ? Perchè era un genio perché senza la sua musica i film non sarebbero stati gli stessi non avrebbero avuto lo stesso impatto che hanno avuto sul pubblico@@Giuseppee62
The music and filming go hand in hand as perfect art. Morricone and Leone were grand masters for their crafts. One isn't without the other, pure genius at its best!
I had a harsh life and tried to be someone good as much as possible, but had my trails of errors along the way. Now, I'm getting old and having listening to Ennio Morricone's music since my childhood, I can't stop but smirk while having tears in my eyes. These songs have truly become the stories of my life. I won't be living a long life, but I had the chance to hear the most beautiful musical compositions ever. Thanks Ennio, Really, my hat's off to you.
As teenagers in the 80s my brothers and I watched these movies with our father late nights...now in 2021 I’m watching them with my two boys...they love the movies...legendary timeless classics.
My Dad died 11 years ago on Oct 5th 2010 My Dad was at the Very Top of the list of Sergio Leon western lovers. He took me almost once every month to the drive-in to see the trilogies of Clint Eastwood films. I was around 6 years old, and I would always sit on the roof of his beach (station) wagons he owned. A lifetime for 50 years in a row we would continue watch, listen to the Albums and talk about those good times nearly every day. As far as I am concerned it was the best moments of my life. We worked together and lived together till the end. I still feel them memories in my heart and sole. On his birthdays and passing day I sit and listen and watch for hours to these songs and watch these movies. I consider myself to be a tuff man. But the memories of these movies being enjoyed with greatest man I have ever known (loved) sill flow a river of tears to this day. How can something So Good Hurt So Bad?
That was a wonderful story I'm glad you loved your dad Love never dies he's watching you from above might just be a Cardinal on the window sill in the morning or he's a butterfly that flew past you yesterday that's kind of how I get through things When I lost my dad in 2017. I still know he's here watching over me. Lots of fond memories but I remember my dad More alive than I ever will passed just hurts too much you know.... Lol. Anyway just wanted to write this be well stay strong. God bless you now and always. 💗🙏
I lost my dad 2 years ago....I played ecstasy of gold at his funeral...I grew up with these films with my dad......the music is absolutely stunning....nothing compares to it....and also brings me close to my dad even though he has gone 🥺🥺❤❤
50% of the success of the film is the music that accompanies the film. When it is tense, the film is also tense. And so the viewers don't fall asleep... This music you wrote is immortal just like the westerns you recorded with Sergio.
@alespersin6066 Ennio Morricone, John Williams, and Nino Rota are my favourites (many others are worthy of course). The music can be 50% of the character to me. As a guy who plays saxophone and guitar (believes he can sing a note or two lol!) - I can't help but hear the melody, tone, and timbre first. Everything else comes in secondary. Peace & love from Melbourne, Australia ✌❤🔥
Truly, the greatest western movie themes ever. The movies are timeless. Once Upon A Time In The West is a masterpiece. Seeing these, way back then as a kid was life-changing. I have watched them all 100 times or more and will in the future.
@@parochial2356 both i think i mean its a classic movie without any music but with the legend ennio mrricone soundtrack it is a incredible awesome movie
Without the music some of those scenes would be so dragged out lmao. Greatest western imo other than Josie there, I forget the name of the fucking movie though.
Thank you Maestro. You lived a long, beautiful life and gave us timeless masterpieces to enjoy for eternity. Your amazing work will give you the closest thing to immortality. RIP
10:20 I was born in 1978. I grew up on all the Leone’s movies and on Morricone’s masterpieces. Today I have a son of 10 months. I played this to him and he was so much impressed with it that it literally made me cry. This music is for generations indeed. Long live Sergio, long live Ennio!
when my daughter was a baby I used to play her My Name is Nobody and bounce her on my knee, it got her smiling. What a funky and unusual song for a western though, it was theme tune to a quirky sitcom called Nighty Night and it fitted perfectly.
When you speak these two names, Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone, You speak the names of masters of their respective crafts. This music is just so incredible and it was used to enhance the movie experience so much. I can listen to this incredible music nonstop. It is indeed the greatest western music of all time.
you miss a point i think that is important, without morricone sergios films would never been such a hit, but imagine a collaberation with kubrick. sergio and kubrick together and morricone delivering the music
@@klauskinski5969 Stanley Kubrick, who has been active since the 50's, is a prolific genius extraordinaire. Lolita, Dr Strangelove, Clockwork Orange. I believe that their styles would be too different.
The spaghetti Western music by Ennio Morricone take me to a different place. I was a teenager when my Grandfather, Dad and I went to watch all of Clint's movies. When I am stressed, I sit back and just listen, and very loud. I love this magic of Ennio, and it is endless in beauty.

It blows my mind that he was a grade school classmate of Leone. That was the Lord at work. One of his many contributions to music was the prominence of wordless voices in his compositions. In 2010 my adult son and I traveled south of Rome to lay flowers at Leone's grave. We were met by a locked cemetery. We went around back out of sight and scaled the wall to complete our mission, and I treasure the photos from that day. If I'm ever in Rome again I hope to visit Morricone's grave.

@@pauldurkee4764 Hi ! It is because he was an Italian, composing film-music for the so called Spaghetti-Westerns during the Sixties & Seventies. We must humbly be grateful to this great marvelous composer for all his musical composition, a very special kind of Western music typically adapted to the films the producers were making with the group of actors such as Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef & others who did become famous thank to his music which contributed to a very large extent to the success of the films, without any doubt.
@@pauldurkee4764 He was not understood at that moment in time by the people in charge of the oscars (now nonsense) at that time. The oscars are now irrelevant, Ennio Morricone shall live on through his masterpieces.
Your words are profound and strike my soul, for you see.... I too have created my own music. Music not loved by many, but music I know in my own heart..... is great. Thank you for these words. Cheers....
His soundtracks were unique not only for the melodies, but in particular for the "special effects" that he included in his music. The use of special and particular musical instruments that made a particular effect, which created an atmosphere, a tension in the scenes of the films to make them immortal scenes. Without his music, the films that later became would not have become. He has created unique compositions that no one else in the world has ever made. Our Michelangelo, our Leonardo da Vinci of music. GRAZIE MAESTRO for all the emotions you have given us !
when i get older and my legs dont move as much...... i am going to create a room with a beautiful sound system and a big screen and play Sergio movies and listen to the Maestros music.... not throughout the day but at least a hour or two everyday. Immerse myself in the divine... and thank god for sending us this genius who built another world . What a sense of music.... From Once upon a time in the west with the haunting voice of Edda Dell Orso or Gabriels Oboe in the Mission, or Death of a Soldier from the Good ,Bad and Ugly. Thank you , My dear Sir...... For giving us this beautiful music. Our eyes fill with tears... out of happiness and sadness, of memories and lost time... for all this thanks.
My friends, family members keep asking ''why I keep listening these musics over and over" I say to them 'there isn't anything better than this to listen"..Never gets old, stays fresh everyday.
@@klauskinski5969 just out of curiosity, what do you consider good music? I see you spamming your hatred of Morricone all over this comment section, so I really wonder what you think is better.
@@KevyNova when did i say morricone did not made good music? learn to read, i just refuse to act like he was a musical god. if he where, then everybody would know him for his music without any knowledge of the movies.
Con Te se ne va un Mito, una Leggenda, Imennsa, Incommensurabile, Inarrivabile. Con Sergio siete stati la mia gioventù, sieste stati i miei eroi, insieme a Clint, Gianmaria, Eli, Lee, Charles, Claudia, Henry, Jason, Giuliano, Fernando, Nieves, Rod, James, Robert, Tomas e tutti gli Altri. Adesso, tu e Sergio, dovrete impegnarVi ancor di più, perchè il Vostro set sarà il Paradiso. R.I.P. Ennio, forever and ever.
The best and most versatile composer of all time. Just the number of over 500 (!) film scores to compose is simply incredible. This includes the film music for the five-hour monumental film "1900". He has composed for about 2 complete films per month. It is simply unimaginable what Ennio Morricone has achieved in his life. Just listening to his music, the movie runs in your head. WOW ❤️
My dad had LPs of his music in the 70s. I loved listening to them as a child with my too big headphones on…Now I’m a Hans Zimmer fan. Hans was very much inspired but Ennio. My son took me to see Hans Zimmer last week at the O2. What an amazing evening. My darling daddy passed away a few months ago…now I have his LPs. Greeting from London fellow listeners.
I see that the entire world loves Morricone, really music has no boundaries. This moves your soul, no matter how many times you hear it, you always yearn for more.
Ho cominciato ad apprezzare gli Spaghetti Western in tarda età e neanche tutti. Ma il binomio Leone/Morricone (che va al di là del western, vedi C'era una volta in America) è garanzia di una qualità veramente irrangiungibile. Grazie Maestri! ❤❤❤
Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone, the cinematography, and of course the script. An example of what true masters of Art can produce...Hollywood was never able to produce such westerns, to the present...
I was with my Mom, full time, the last few years of her life. One of the great joys was watching old shows/movies that she loved and hadn't seen in years. I didn't know beforehand, but she loved all of Clint Eastwood's Westerns. I rented everything Netflix had - which was everything! - and we slowly made our way through it all, anthology style. Those were the Best Years of my adult life... never to be equaled. We were close beforehand, but the things we learned about one another, and the resolution of small misunderstandings that had been left on dusty shelfs can not be overstated. Life is short... love who you would love and pardon all others with equal fervor. Blessings to everyone here!
Sergio Leone et sa musique me transportent vers les merveilleux souvenirs d'enfance, là où mon frère et moi regardions ces films ensemble, sous le chaud soleil de Tahiti. Pourtant nous étions alors deux cowboys chevauchant dans les plaines du Far West. Tu es au ciel mon frère, je suis resté ici pour encore quelques temps mais nous sommes ensemble à ce moment précis. Merci Sergio, merci Clint, pour toi Stephane, le meilleur d'entre nous, je t'aime mon frère
Western film music reached its peak with the compositions of Maestro Ennio Morricone, who brought to this type of music what is not repeated anymore; MAJESTY.
Gunfire becomes a musical instrument in the hands of Ennio Morricone. Human vocals, whistling, shouting, and gunshots have never sounded so good. Amazing.
early on, Ennio just didn't have the budget to keep an orchestra on call, and used any sound he could get - and a new sound was born! But his orchestral work is wonderful, too.
It's very cool...sometimes a bit like surf roc ala Dick Dale but truly unique to Ennio Morricone himself, pure genius to match the genius of Sergio Leone's epic westerns.
Gridalo forte Franco!!! Morricone è un simbolo italiano per eccellenza e la sua musica sarà sempre ricordata con immenso piacere, di arte ne capiamo solo noi, questi mettono la panna nella carbonara e l'ananas sulla pizza, ma per favore, portino rispetto!!!
Franco Usai cette qualification de western spaghetti n’est nullement péjorative désormais. Elle l’était probablement à l’origine mais l’opinion publique et les critiques se sont ravisées et finalement reconnu la magistrale prouesse et l’indiscutable valeur cinématographique des films de Sergio leone et la musique d’ennio morricone. Seul le sens artistique d’ italiens auraient d’ailleurs pu produire de tels chef d’œuvres...
@Martin Grey li chiamavano cosi i critici perche negli anni 60' i film erano fatti dagli italiani e girati in italia o spagna e anche perche sergio leone era un sucesso
Es un orgullo y un gusto enorme para mi el haber podido asistir en Monterrey ,Mexico ; a un concierto en vivo del genio musical Don Ennio Morricone. Fué una experiencia increíble.
tambien vino a guadalajara al teatro telmex, fue una experiencia inolvidable, se vento 2 veces la del exctasy of gold, fue un orgasmo total escuchar eso en vivo :D

Funny to think that some of the greatest Western films in history were created and directed not by Americans but by a great Italian filmmaker like Sergio Leone and some of the most unforgettable soundtracks by another Italian genius like Ennio Morricone. Two artists who belong not only to a geographical homeland but are the heritage of the entire world ❤️
@@hansypansy5 Yeah, unfortunately i think you're right. And it isn't just westerns. Good movies nowadays are as rare as rain in the desert. 99% it's just chewing gum cinema. There's 3 or 4 directors out there that do try and still make good movies, but this level of directing, consistency, and artistic quality, i think it's gone.
Sir, born in 79 in Romania, i grew up with your music discovered in westerns, which where the only movies not banned in comunism era. Even now i think that without your music not even clint eastwood would have managed to have such a succes in movies without your soundtrack. thank you for your work. your songs are immortal.
They were remakes of japanese classics of their own right - they just took them to a whole new level. I think it's the lack of hollywood polish, grimy/sandy costumes, moral ambiguity and, of course, the excellent soundtracks that made the films. There are times in the films when you don't even realise the music has started, having grown up from the silence... the tension so real. :)
It wasn’t until I was older and mature watching the movies again that I realized that there was a lot more to them than “ shoot ‘em up”. Ennio’s music made the movies the masterpieces that they are!
One of The Greatest Musical Maestros of all Time, his musical Legend will last Forever! Leone made The visuals, Morricone did the rest! Legends of Cinema!
For me this music is from another universe. I am fifty and I was introduced to Sergio Leone films I was ecstatic with the interaction between seeing and hearing. I keep going back to these days when I hear Maestro's music. What a synthesis, my soul and my heart and my entire body almost aches. I submerge in another dimension being floated into music!
Most people measure their sanity by comparing with others around them. I wouldnt use that approach for the time being. Use beauty like this to cling on The soul is golden
I have loved the arrangements of Ennio Morricone since I first heard his music when I was a teenager, but the beautiful thing is that I love them even more now that I am an elder man searching for the purpose of my life again.
Tony, you're in my prayers. I felt as you until I became a Catholic. No preaching from me. May God surround, embrace and bless you. May you find true happiness.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I first heard this beautiful music when I was 10 yrs. old. I loved it then and love it even more now as an elderly man. You know what's amazing? Music, especially SL music is timeless, ageless and brings me right back to when I was 10!! If this is the Tony I think it is; I am a big fan or your music as well!
To think Clint did Fistful for 15 k in 1963 while on hiatus from Rawhide and it wasn't released in the USA until 1966. Jack Denton was a late night tv host in Los Angeles,he went overboard about Fistful going so far as showing the scene where Clint is shot five times..u know the rest. Sales at theaters in LA skyrocked!!!
For me Ecstasy of Gold is the greatest piece of music ever written. I know that's a bold statement, but it gets me deep down inside my soul every time I hear it. Just an amazing composer.
Ironically it was quiet the opposite as far i know.. Sergio Leone told: that Ennio Morricone first made the music, and Sergio than tried to make to movie fit to the music. That was the ''secret'' - so that the result seemed: that the music fit perfectly to the movie.
Nick Jasper: BENDITO SEAS, MAESTRO DE MAESTROS. TU CREATIVIDAD MUSICAL ES INDESCRIPTIBLEMENTE HERMOSA. ES UN REGALO DE DIOS. POR ESO LA CONSIDERO UN GRAN HOMENAJE AL SUPREMO ARTE DE LA MÚSICA CELESTIAL...!!
A mi papá le gustaba esta música ahora el ya no está no me canso de escuchar estás obras de artes echa música Ennio Morricone naciste con un don especial hacer feliz alas personas
The Italians really know a thing about music. It's fantastic.
Especially in a Spanish location 😂
And food and cars and soccer
My God Father is Italian and i think of himn often. He lost his wife to cancer and married again. Had 3 daughters to aunt pat. They were awl musical. Studied violyn in mexico city.

Per noi italiani Ennio Morricone è IL maestro!! Grazie per aver portato un pò di Italia nel cuore di mezzo mondo con la tua arte.. RIP Ennio ❤
Ama e vivi la tia vita
Going to the drive-in as teenagers to see three or four Sergio Leone/Morricone movies until 3am on a summer night was one of my most cherished memories of my youth. We had a little speaker in the car for sound, and as poor as that was, we thought we were on top of the world hearing Morricones music. You don't have to be Italian or whatever to love his music. No translation is required! But THANK YOU, Italy, for giving the world this gift!
El genio Morricone, ya no es italiano es Universal. Gran músico, simplemente...un genio
Non solo per voi, italiani, ma per tutto il mondo Morricone è un maestro! Intere generazioni, i nostri padri e nonni, sono cresciuti con la sua musica. Proprio come Maradona non appartiene solo all'Argentina, ma al mondo intero, così Morricone è patrimonio dell'intera umanità.
I'm 65 years old and been listening the maestro of music seen i was 10 years old.
There's something about it isn't there.
Same here, my friend. 65 and waxing nostalgic.
I'm 57 and have been listening to Morricone's music for 45 years. 1000 times and I still feel the same as I did when I was 12. I wrote my A-level thesis on Sergio Leone. My teacher said it was the best thing he had ever read and he wanted me to study journalism, but I didn't do it and didn't become famous like he hoped. I turned to psychotherapy instead and often think back to what would have become of me if ... But no matter what someone does for a living, or what faith they have, or none at all, or what their social status is, anyone who has ever been touched by Morricone's incredible music is probably moved the same way. I wish all of you out there in this cold world a heart-warming night.
I'm 62, and it takes me to the moment at the drive-in. I was going to write something else, but the dying soldier song just came on. The one that Blonde shared his coat and cigar with after crossing the river. It's such a miracle that a song can be so emotional that it takes you right back to a moment in time. For me, "1972". What a great summer it was. My brother in law was so mad at me because I ran down his car battery listening to the soundtrack to "The Good,The Bad and the Ugly" on his 8-track player. Sorry, Bob, but I would do it again for Morricone! Lol
@DocPatHolliday That's a great subject, Doc. I wish I had thought about that. Mine was about the Vietnam War.
My father and I would watch these movies on a friday night.... he died in '92. I miss him terribly, and yet, hearing this... brings him straight back. thank you Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone.
Memories are always fresh.
I love hearing stories like this and 92 was so long ago now could I ask what happened to your father for him to pass.
I used to watch these movies with my dad too, he sadly died in 96, miss him terribly too.
Me too... I was a daddys girl, what he
loved I did too & do too. They all live
through you only personality is lost.
Thousands of generations all leading
to this moment of your scene on stage.
Do them proud.
I miss mine so much. In mourning all humanity is brother and sister.
My dad died the 1st of Oct 2017, listening to this reminds me of the late nights I'd wake up, come down for a glass of water or just to stretch the legs a moment before going to bed again, he'd nearly always watch western movies and sometimes I'd join him watch a movie to the end before going to bed again, sometimes talk with him.
I miss him!
Miss him so much, the old fool!
May he rest in peace.
May he rest in peace. I will do the same for my son. Teach him all the good stuff. One of them are western movies for sure. All the best. Btw, my son was born Oct 9th 2018.
@@ALCOR_46 What i like about Western movies in general is that, while dramatic in a lot of cases, they feel grounded and not over the top.
Not to forget the unbearable hot, yet super gorgeous environment in which, nearly every movie takes place.
And as of this message, had to hold a tear or 5 back last night.
Forgot the movie I watched on Netflix, but it was a Western.
Reminded me again about my dad.
On the upside, was good memories at least.
@@DyslexicGod As far as I know, he does.
May he rest in peace.bro
I was a little girl growing up in a small village in Taiwan in the 1970s. We had at least 4 "foreign feature films" play on TV each weekend. I watched several Sergio's western movies at that time. It nourished my love for movies and music. When I watched the "Ennio: The Maestro" documentary in the theater 9 days ago in Taipei, I couldn't help crying as it brought back so many childhood memories. Thank you, Maestro, for enriching my life ever since.
Bitchin ¿
😊
I was a child also when I first saw these movies .. brings back so many fond memories
I felt the same seeing Tornatore's documentary about Ennio. Tears and gooseflesh. I was a little girl too in the seventies and this documentary gave me the opportunity to improve my culture about Italian cinematography and music. As an Italian I felt very proud of Morricone's genius and at the same time of his great humility.
Thank you for your beautiful comment 😊.

Music is a time machine.
My mom loved everything clint
The good bad and the ugly was one her favorites. She passed away in 2021. I watch these movies to remember the good times
Rest in peace

HI all you youngsters out there. I’m 78 and still enjoy the Sergio leone westerns. The best there ever was. Added to which the music by Ennio morricone makes sheer it bliss. Can’t count the number of times I’ve watched them all. Enjoy.
Both of them are legendary. I'm 16 and I finally got around to watching the Dollars trilogy (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, etc) and inspired me to start writing screenplays for movies I hope to make when I'm older. Listening to Ennio Morricone's scores and Luis Balcalov's scores just make me more inspired
I am 42. It's good to see both olders and youngers likes those musics and movies! Respect!
ZoomTheFroom
If you ever do make a a movie, if you could, come back here and let us know. I would love to watch it!
I am enjoying them well thank you
Hi there lady. Simply the best of film and sound, indeed 🐎🎸
Ennio Morricone will forever be remembered as the man who gave the west a sound
Italy founded the West, from the Renaissance up to the 1800s. The French and Brits took much inspiration from Italians. It's fact, America is an Italian name..
@@TimeTraveller010 arguably, Greece founded "The West", Romans got a new way of The West.
Italy had been the center of the west for a long time, as you said, medieaval times, Rennaisance, the Manierism, the Baroque and Neoclasicism... despite not being a economic or military power and, for much time, not even being a political entity, Italy was a cultural center for Europe and the whole "West"
From the industrial revolution however, Italy lost its importance, and the anglophone world took the lead.
"The British Empire", Victorian Age, and, before these, "The Augustan Age". Britain was "The West", artistically, culturally and economically.
The "Far West" is a totally american thing, yes, films like this were very important during the cold war, but the original "Far West", that is all american.
"The american dream", again, totally american, and to this day, The States are the leading country of the west, no doubt about that.
We are no more the center of "The West", USA is.
@@davideb.4290 Are you of Italian background? I ask so because Greece did little in establishing foundations that Italy expanded on. Greeks introduced Philosophy and nothing else, Archimedes the great mathematician of whom is Greek by proper noun is southern Italian. Rhetoric was founded in Southern Italy, I am sure you are aware of much more. The only reason culture became Anglophone is because France and England didn't want German dominance on the European continent. Germany too has had an influence on the West. Yes I am aware the U.S is the West's centre, and Germany played an influential role in that development.
The only real americas are native americans.. ... ... ... was ...native americans.. others are europeans
Not sound, we should say melody, and painted in life the desserts...taking us to dream to be heroes...
When one gets Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone together, what else can one expect? Something eternally beautiful! Thank you both for giving the world your individual and extremelly splendid art!
Imagine this new generation doesn't even recognize them
Oh we do, at last I do. My father intruduced me to these movies, now I'm here at 15 listening to Morricone finest pieces non-stop. And of course, Leone is a genius too
. @@evzalxheladini1205
That word Eternal ~ brilliant
It's pathetically sad isn't it? A generation not knowing how iconic these movies and their soundtracks are as a piece of societal consciousness is next to unbelievable. We need to make sure Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone are taught in the classroom in High School as part of a "society and culture 101" course and all students must take it or they don't graduate. If they have to strapped to chairs so be it. Louis Armstrong would be on the list of artists to be taught as well. If you don't know these greats you aren't a worthy member of society simply. All teens should come out better for the experience. They may discover that some of the garbage they listen to uses snippets of classic artists in their samples/beats.
@@andrewlowe9969 totally agreed
"This morning, I woke up and started working from home. I poured a cup of coffee and started playing this music in the background on my headphones. As I listened, I placed the warm mug to my forehead and closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun flooding through my window. Thanks for helping to make this morning so peaceful.
if you read this, doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy peaceful life where all your dreams become true."

L'Italia in lutto.
È morto il Maestro Ennio Morricone, aveva 91 anni. Per me il più grande compositore di colonne sonore al mondo.
È vero, un maestro è morto.. Grazie al genio italiano..! 1000 ore al cine con emozioni indementicabile. Quasi tutto lo bello del mondo viene d'Italia... Grazie!
RIP Ennio.
Adio Maestro...Grazie per tutto ❤🌹
L'Italia in lutto, il Mondo in lutto...Tristissimo giorno. E tutti noi siamo orfani di un sublime compositore conosciuto in tutto il mondo. Ci ha fatto sognare ed emozionare tante volte scrivendo le piu belle colonne musicale dei tutt' i tempi, e la sua musica divina rimarrà come un segno indelebile nella storia de cinema e dell'umanità...Dalla Francia anch'io piango con tutti voi.
Buon Viaggio Maestro!
A Rivederci ed a Risentirci!
“You see, in this world there are two kinds of people, my friend: Those who adore Ennio Morricone's music and those who are deaf”
Amen to that !
You speak the truth
Or dead .
Nice callback to "You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig."
Why can't you accept people have different taste or are you joking?
I saw Ennio Morricone & his orchestra in London at the O2 shortly before his death, he was then in his 90's, I also later went back to the same venue to see his son conducting Ennio's orchestra while playing Ennio's music.
To me Ennio Morricone was & still is the Greatest composer of all time ( & not just for western music ), as he dared to be so different & experimental with his music, which made his music so unforgettable & instantly recognisable, so much so that if Ennio Morricone has scored the music to a movie then you'll know so from the first few notes as no other composers music sounds quite like Ennio Morricone's.
Thank you for your magnificent music Mr Morricone & R.I.P.
I agree. Congratulations.
I traveled to Bologna IT from Utah US to see him live before he died. Cried 5 times through the concert. Eternal peace Maestro Morricone.
40 years ago in my home country, they used to play A Fistful of Dollars , For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, every year on local TV. I used to watch them every time. Years later I migrated to the U.S. and I kept my tradition. I am watching the movies every year. It brings all the memories back, and I get to live with the characters again. Love.
Excellent. I have every single version of Leone's Dollars Trilogy on DVD: must have watched these three films hundreds of times. Believe it or not the 'cemetery' location at the very end of the Good The Bad & The Ugly (Sad Hill) has been reconstructed to look as it did in the film. I visit Portugal regularly and am very tempted to hop over the border to Spain to visit the place some day.
Definitely the three best westerns I have ever seen
A Fistful of Dollars was the movie we saw in Marine Boot Camp in 1969. And when I got out----I later took a poor girl to a Drive-in movie triple-header with all three movies. Think she only made it awake thru the 1st movie.
I For a Few Dollar more, and The Good the Bad and The Ugly, I kept it for more than 40 years. I used to have A Fist Full of Dollars, but I lost it, I couldn't find it. So sad.
Welcome to the US, my friend.
Where did you come from?
My father, who still lives, introduced these movies to me as a child and I am forever grateful! Every time I sit down to watch one always brings me back to my childhood with my father. I am now 55 yrs old. 😊
I lost my dad 14 years ago watching these films with this music is awsome memories for me rakes me back to my childhood how I miss those days and my dad xxxxx
you are lucky. My da past away last year at 70, when i was 40. Take care of him!
My father too. I am now 46. We watched toguether.
I wish a 1000 times my dad was still here today, because we would be in the livingroom right now watching one of these great westerns. And he would be telling me one of his wonderful stories, and I would be listening to it like it was the first time ever hearing it!
I did the same with my son, i hope he will enjoy with this musica he is now 15 years old
On a snowy cold weekend in December, I just had turned 14, my mom had left with my sisters over the weekend to visit my grandma and bake Christmas cookies. I stayed at home with my dad, I was alone in my room reading a book, when my dad knocked on my door and said: "come son, be prepared for a day of epic manliness! " He made me watch the good, the bad and the ugly, a fist full of dollars and once upon a time in the west. I'll never forget! God bless his soul. I miss you dad.
epilogue: some time ago, I was home alone with my son, he was playing RDR2 in his room, I knocked on his door and said: Come son, be prepared for a day of epic manliness!
Bless you too man.

It can't be overstated how effective this music is in transporting you to the Wild West. The Spaghtetti Westerns would be nothing without Ennio Morricone's beautiful mind.
Dici sciocchezze ! Gli spaghetti western girati da Sergio Leone forse il più grande regista della storia del cinema per te non contano nulla.
Они оба сделали великий вклад в кинематограф.
Perché Sergio Leone voleva Morricone per i suoi film ? Perchè era un genio perché senza la sua musica i film non sarebbero stati gli stessi non avrebbero avuto lo stesso impatto che hanno avuto sul pubblico@@Giuseppee62
@@mimmoamato8335 tu pensi che un appassionato di cinema, andrebbe a vedere un brutto film, perché c’è una buona musica.
The music and filming go hand in hand as perfect art. Morricone and Leone were grand masters for their crafts. One isn't without the other, pure genius at its best!
I dont think old western movies would have been the same without ennio...his music is what made em epic...
I hear yah.
Him and sergio leone created a whole new genre....just the 2 of em.
Yeah
so damn true!!!
And not just old western films! From videogames to every genres of movies Ennio changed the way we think about soundtrack
My dad introduced me to “Spaghetti Westerns” in the 1970’s, and I’m so glad that he did. Miss you, Pop. RIP
Your dad has good taste my friend
Mine did same for me. Now I'm passing them on to my kids. I'm fortunate to still have my dad. Now 3 generations enjoy them when we can together.

My dad loved these movies and music of johnny cash. My mom hated it. But now i realize my dad had better taste than she did
Thanks for sharing your grief with strangers on the internet. RIP stranger's dad.
When you listen to these masterpieces and cry like a baby you know you're getting old
we are not dead yet..
Soon we will be dead and gone but this wonderful music stays. That is comforting.
I had a harsh life and tried to be someone good as much as possible, but had my trails of errors along the way. Now, I'm getting old and having listening to Ennio Morricone's music since my childhood, I can't stop but smirk while having tears in my eyes. These songs have truly become the stories of my life. I won't be living a long life, but I had the chance to hear the most beautiful musical compositions ever. Thanks Ennio, Really, my hat's off to you.
As teenagers in the 80s my brothers and I watched these movies with our father late nights...now in 2021 I’m watching them with my two boys...they love the movies...legendary timeless classics.
Pass that torch, my friend, pass that torch.
Yes I get that,even though I'm probably your age but have no kids.
How can you not me and my dad always watch westerns together he is with his dad too they are so awesome and badass
Great father and son time. I used to watch these with him as a little kid. Planet of the Apes, too.
My Dad died 11 years ago on Oct 5th 2010 My Dad was at the Very Top of the list of Sergio Leon western lovers. He took me almost once every month to the drive-in to see the trilogies of Clint Eastwood films. I was around 6 years old, and I would always sit on the roof of his beach (station) wagons he owned. A lifetime for 50 years in a row we would continue watch, listen to the Albums and talk about those good times nearly every day. As far as I am concerned it was the best moments of my life. We worked together and lived together till the end. I still feel them memories in my heart and sole. On his birthdays and passing day I sit and listen and watch for hours to these songs and watch these movies. I consider myself to be a tuff man. But the memories of these movies being enjoyed with greatest man I have ever known (loved) sill flow a river of tears to this day. How can something So Good Hurt So Bad?
god bless his soul
I think you are a good and faithfull son and that you loved your father as I loved mine
TRUE FEELINGS FLOW ALWAYS TROUGH YOUR EYES , LOVE IS TE GREATEST OF ALL BLESSINGS
That was a wonderful story I'm glad you loved your dad Love never dies he's watching you from above might just be a Cardinal on the window sill in the morning or he's a butterfly that flew past you yesterday that's kind of how I get through things When I lost my dad in 2017. I still know he's here watching over me.
Lots of fond memories but I remember my dad More alive than I ever will passed just hurts too much you know.... Lol. Anyway just wanted to write this be well stay strong. God bless you now and always. 💗🙏
Love and good memories are hard to beat , if at all!
I lost my dad 2 years ago....I played ecstasy of gold at his funeral...I grew up with these films with my dad......the music is absolutely stunning....nothing compares to it....and also brings me close to my dad even though he has gone 🥺🥺❤❤

You know if you never forgeting him. He lives eternely in your mind . 😉throught the music like this, pics and memorically smells too
50% of the success of the film is the music that accompanies the film. When it is tense, the film is also tense. And so the viewers don't fall asleep...
This music you wrote is immortal just like the westerns you recorded with Sergio.
@alespersin6066 Ennio Morricone, John Williams, and Nino Rota are my favourites (many others are worthy of course). The music can be 50% of the character to me. As a guy who plays saxophone and guitar (believes he can sing a note or two lol!) - I can't help but hear the melody, tone, and timbre first. Everything else comes in secondary.
Peace & love from Melbourne, Australia ✌❤🔥
Truly, the greatest western movie themes ever. The movies are timeless. Once Upon A Time In The West is a masterpiece. Seeing these, way back then as a kid was life-changing. I have watched them all 100 times or more and will in the future.

Thank you Maestro. You lived a long, beautiful life and gave us timeless masterpieces to enjoy for eternity. Your amazing work will give you the closest thing to immortality. RIP
10:20 I was born in 1978. I grew up on all the Leone’s movies and on Morricone’s masterpieces. Today I have a son of 10 months. I played this to him and he was so much impressed with it that it literally made me cry. This music is for generations indeed. Long live Sergio, long live Ennio!
And what do you think is the best age for introducing the Dollars trilogy on screen to your son? :)
Ben Äpfel I don’t know actually. I think I fell for Spagetti westernes when I was 13. So somewhere around that...
when my daughter was a baby I used to play her My Name is Nobody and bounce her on my knee, it got her smiling. What a funky and unusual song for a western though, it was theme tune to a quirky sitcom called Nighty Night and it fitted perfectly.
When you speak these two names, Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone, You speak the names of masters of their respective crafts. This music is just so incredible and it was used to enhance the movie experience so much. I can listen to this incredible music nonstop. It is indeed the greatest western music of all time.
you miss a point i think that is important, without morricone sergios films would never been such a hit, but imagine a collaberation with kubrick. sergio and kubrick together and morricone delivering the music
To have the solution 🙄
They capture moments in the music.
@@klauskinski5969 Stanley Kubrick, who has been active since the 50's, is a prolific genius extraordinaire. Lolita, Dr Strangelove, Clockwork Orange. I believe that their styles would be too different.
You identify the music as “greatest western music” and you hit it spot on - it’s western music for a certain genre.
The spaghetti Western music by Ennio Morricone take me to a different place. I was a teenager when my Grandfather, Dad and I went to watch all of Clint's movies. When I am stressed, I sit back and just listen, and very loud. I love this magic of Ennio, and it is endless in beauty.
Greetings from Poland -E.U. Tom ! - You have polish surname soo, I supose You have polish family. Best wishes and Merry Christmas . - Michael Szczecin City Poland
I've heard that Morricone hated expression Spaghetti Western. I think I´ve read it in one of the book about him.
Sono orgoglioso di essere italiano .Artisti come Ennio e Sergio Leone rimarranno nella storia.Grazie.
It blows my mind that he was a grade school classmate of Leone. That was the Lord at work. One of his many contributions to music was the prominence of wordless voices in his compositions.
In 2010 my adult son and I traveled south of Rome to lay flowers at Leone's grave. We were met by a locked cemetery. We went around back out of sight and scaled the wall to complete our mission, and I treasure the photos from that day. If I'm ever in Rome again I hope to visit Morricone's grave.
Thats an amazing match so early in life. Beautifully put, my compliments for making the effort of creating such a memory with your son.

It's difficult to understand that morricone didn't win an Oscar for these scores, he wasn't even nominated I believe, which is staggering.
@@pauldurkee4764 Hi ! It is because he was an Italian, composing film-music for the so called Spaghetti-Westerns during the Sixties & Seventies. We must humbly be grateful to this great marvelous composer for all his musical composition, a very special kind of Western music typically adapted to the films the producers were making with the group of actors such as Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef & others who did become famous thank to his music which contributed to a very large extent to the success of the films, without any doubt.

Non vi scordate di Edda......
His soundtracks were unique not only for the melodies, but in particular for the "special effects" that he included in his music. The use of special and particular musical instruments that made a particular effect, which created an atmosphere, a tension in the scenes of the films to make them immortal scenes. Without his music, the films that later became would not have become. He has created unique compositions that no one else in the world has ever made. Our Michelangelo, our Leonardo da Vinci of music. GRAZIE MAESTRO for all the emotions you have given us !
when i get older and my legs dont move as much...... i am going to create a room with a beautiful sound system and a big screen and play Sergio movies and listen to the Maestros music.... not throughout the day but at least a hour or two everyday. Immerse myself in the divine... and thank god for sending us this genius who built another world . What a sense of music.... From Once upon a time in the west with the haunting voice of Edda Dell Orso or Gabriels Oboe in the Mission, or Death of a Soldier from the Good ,Bad and Ugly. Thank you , My dear Sir...... For giving us this beautiful music. Our eyes fill with tears... out of happiness and sadness, of memories and lost time... for all this thanks.
Im 85 and that's exactly what I am doing now ! ! !
Nice one!
Ont ecoute aux meilleures dans toutes branches
What a majestic piece of music. People that can’t appreciate this are truly lost. RIP Ennio Morricone.
😂
My friends, family members keep asking ''why I keep listening these musics over and over" I say to them 'there isn't anything better than this to listen"..Never gets old, stays fresh everyday.
good example for stupidity. morricone a 3rd class componist only rem. of his emotional bindings to 2sc grade movies is now the high of music.
@@klauskinski5969 just out of curiosity, what do you consider good music? I see you spamming your hatred of Morricone all over this comment section, so I really wonder what you think is better.
@@KevyNova when did i say morricone did not made good music? learn to read, i just refuse to act like he was a musical god. if he where, then everybody would know him for his music without any knowledge of the movies.
Bruh, it is the same for me hahaha...
@@klauskinski5969but he us known for his music....the movies just amplify it...maybe...?
Con Te se ne va un Mito, una Leggenda, Imennsa, Incommensurabile, Inarrivabile. Con Sergio siete stati la mia gioventù, sieste stati i miei eroi, insieme a Clint, Gianmaria, Eli, Lee, Charles, Claudia, Henry, Jason, Giuliano, Fernando, Nieves, Rod, James, Robert, Tomas e tutti gli Altri. Adesso, tu e Sergio, dovrete impegnarVi ancor di più, perchè il Vostro set sarà il Paradiso. R.I.P. Ennio, forever and ever.
PERFETTO. NIENTE DA AGGIUNGERE
The best and most versatile composer of all time. Just the number of over 500 (!) film scores to compose is simply incredible. This includes the film music for the five-hour monumental film "1900". He has composed for about 2 complete films per month. It is simply unimaginable what Ennio Morricone has achieved in his life.
Just listening to his music, the movie runs in your head. WOW ❤️
My dad had LPs of his music in the 70s. I loved listening to them as a child with my too big headphones on…Now I’m a Hans Zimmer fan. Hans was very much inspired but Ennio. My son took me to see Hans Zimmer last week at the O2. What an amazing evening. My darling daddy passed away a few months ago…now I have his LPs. Greeting from London fellow listeners.
I see that the entire world loves Morricone, really music has no boundaries. This moves your soul, no matter how many times you hear it, you always yearn for more.
Ennio Morricone cannot be someone from this world. An amazing musical genius. Rest in peace, great master.😢
Ennio Morricone won't be recreated again anywhere any place any time. He's just one of a kind. A musician of incomparable talent .
Ho cominciato ad apprezzare gli Spaghetti Western in tarda età e neanche tutti.
Ma il binomio Leone/Morricone (che va al di là del western, vedi C'era una volta in America) è garanzia di una qualità veramente irrangiungibile. Grazie Maestri! ❤❤❤
Clint Eastwood, Spaghetti Westerns, and this music. In my youth and to this day, priceless. So lucky to have lived it.
Aye.
Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone, the cinematography, and of course the script. An example of what true masters of Art can produce...Hollywood was never able to produce such westerns, to the present...
You know Sesrgio Leone never used script. Man had all of these in his mind.
È vero.. due immensi maestri e orgogli romani e italiani! Ciao friend .. da Roma
I was with my Mom, full time, the last few years of her life. One of the great joys was watching old shows/movies that she loved and hadn't seen in years. I didn't know beforehand, but she loved all of Clint Eastwood's Westerns. I rented everything Netflix had - which was everything! - and we slowly made our way through it all, anthology style. Those were the Best Years of my adult life... never to be equaled. We were close beforehand, but the things we learned about one another, and the resolution of small misunderstandings that had been left on dusty shelfs can not be overstated. Life is short... love who you would love and pardon all others with equal fervor. Blessings to everyone here!
I am glad your time was well spent with your mom. I am thinking of doing something similar with my father, when the time comes, if I can.
Ditto, Clint and Charles Bronson.
Blessings.
❤
Sergio Leone et sa musique me transportent vers les merveilleux souvenirs d'enfance, là où mon frère et moi regardions ces films ensemble, sous le chaud soleil de Tahiti. Pourtant nous étions alors deux cowboys chevauchant dans les plaines du Far West. Tu es au ciel mon frère, je suis resté ici pour encore quelques temps mais nous sommes ensemble à ce moment précis. Merci Sergio, merci Clint, pour toi Stephane, le meilleur d'entre nous, je t'aime mon frère
❤
Grazie delle TUE parole 🥹💗✨
Ennio Morricone, the great master. Your compositions make the soul vibrate. God bless you. Thanks for existing!
A complete genius!
Western film music reached its peak with the compositions of Maestro Ennio Morricone, who brought to this type of music what is not repeated anymore; MAJESTY.
Gunfire becomes a musical instrument in the hands of Ennio Morricone. Human vocals, whistling, shouting, and gunshots have never sounded so good. Amazing.
This band does that pretty well too. . ruclips.net/video/3plBzBB8LE8/видео.html
you think u know gunfire???????????????????
early on, Ennio just didn't have the budget to keep an orchestra on call, and used any sound he could get - and a new sound was born! But his orchestral work is wonderful, too.
It's very cool...sometimes a bit like surf roc ala Dick Dale but truly unique to Ennio Morricone himself, pure genius to match the genius of Sergio Leone's epic westerns.
What if I told you there is a song that utilizes canon fire as a percussion instrument?
The combined efforts of Leone and Morricone can make 5 minutes of people staring at each other feel like the most intense thing ever.
Muore l'ultimo grande italiano. Che ha portato la genialità dell'Italia nel mondo grazie.
I can see my childhood through these songs.I can see my whole family young and healthy and happy…
So can I being 79 years old.
Always x
Non chiamateli spaghetti western, questa e' arte Italiana, e Morricone e' unico, un grande artista.
Gridalo forte Franco!!! Morricone è un simbolo italiano per eccellenza e la sua musica sarà sempre ricordata con immenso piacere, di arte ne capiamo solo noi, questi mettono la panna nella carbonara e l'ananas sulla pizza, ma per favore, portino rispetto!!!
Un fenomeno che rimarrà per sempre nella storia
Sim. Sua óbra enaltece ao povo italiano e a todos os fãs do western. Brasil, 05/06/2020
Franco Usai cette qualification de western spaghetti n’est nullement péjorative désormais. Elle l’était probablement à l’origine mais l’opinion publique et les critiques se sont ravisées et finalement reconnu la magistrale prouesse et l’indiscutable valeur cinématographique des films de Sergio leone et la musique d’ennio morricone. Seul le sens artistique d’ italiens auraient d’ailleurs pu produire de tels chef d’œuvres...
@Martin Grey li chiamavano cosi i critici perche negli anni 60' i film erano fatti dagli italiani e girati in italia o spagna e anche perche sergio leone era un sucesso
Mon Dieu , quelle musique . J'en ai des frissons partout . Un génie Ennio Morriconne . Sa musique prend les tripes
"Senza parole, ho ascoltato la Tua Musica Maestro in silenzio, con commozione e profonda stima!"
Es un orgullo y un gusto enorme para mi el haber podido asistir en Monterrey ,Mexico ; a un concierto en vivo del genio musical Don Ennio Morricone.
Fué una experiencia increíble.
Muchas felicidades.
que envidia Dionicio!
Suertudo. Muchas felicidades.
👍👏👏👏👏
tambien vino a guadalajara al teatro telmex, fue una experiencia inolvidable, se vento 2 veces la del exctasy of gold, fue un orgasmo total escuchar eso en vivo :D
My father was a very big Clint Eastwood, spaghetti western fan watched these many times with my Dad, sadly Dad passed away when I was only 11 yrs old, this music will eternally remind me of him and what a wonderful Dad he was passed27/07/83, I also love this music now as does my 23 yr son born 27/07/2001old son yes thats right 18 yrs to the day my Dad passed away xxx
What about Lee van Cleef, he was the 1st one contacted by Sergio Leone. 🐎🐎🐎
Same here, my dad passed away this year, these great songs and movies will always remind me of him
bless you, and I mean that as a fan, not because i.m religous, although, im with you on the music!
I remember on a Sunday evening around 1978 my dad shouting out to me: "hey Rafa! .. está cleeniswoood!"😂❤
My dad loved Eastwood, and so did I, we enjoyed all his movies but the westerns were total masterpieces, music,actors all of it! I miss you Dad!❤❤
They weren’t his- mostly Sergio Leona’s. Just saying.
Then there's no need to close my bank account 😭
Clint Eastwood is one of those actors who have never ever made a bad film 🎥🇬🇧
I beg to differ
@forbiddensun9524 OK then , what film 🎥 didn't you like him in ?🇬🇧
Clint Eastwood , Ennio’suz bir hiç , ama Ennio için hiç fark etmiyor
@@muratyalcn5624 You have typed in foreign I can't understand what your saying It's quite obvious if I have typed in english. I am english and not Italian..🤔🇬🇧
@@muratyalcn5624 yapma haci, Clint'in bir "Dirty Harry" serisi, "Escape from Alcatraz" vs. tek başına yeter Enniosuz var olmasına ki yönetmenliğinde çektiği Gran Torino, Letters from Iwo Jima, Flags of our Fathers gibi kilometre taşlarına hiç girmiyorum bile. Clint'e haksızlık yok. Adam 90 yaşını devirdi ama hala film çekip oynuyor!
OMG! This music makes me remember every film.Clnt Eastwood and Lee van Cleef! And Eli Wallach! Unforgettable! Thank you!
One could close their eyes and picture the movie scene it’s epic music on a level unimaginable and unattainable by other composers.
Yes, dont fergot the great villain gian velonte in the first full of dollars and a few dollars more .
I am an Indian. Music is in our culture. I always love to watch :
The Good, the bad and the ugly.
For a few dollars more
Fistful of dollars
Once upon a time in the west
and The Godfather.
The music of dollars triology is pulsating. I keenly listen to it quite often. It lends a new mesmerising wave everytime.
Great work by Ennio Morricone.
dollar days havent ended it goes on
@sanjeevsharma8993 If you haven't indulged already (and you probably have), check out "Once Upon A Time In America". Directed by Sergio Leone, with music composed by our beloved Ennio Morricone. My father and I considered it the greatest movie of all the time. Each to their own of course. ❤🔥

My friend, thanks!!!
Funny to think that some of the greatest Western films in history were created and directed not by Americans but by a great Italian filmmaker like Sergio Leone and some of the most unforgettable soundtracks by another Italian genius like Ennio Morricone. Two artists who belong not only to a geographical homeland but are the heritage of the entire world ❤️
Still the greatest movie composer ever! I love this guy!
My god. I just can't fathom a more emotionally resonant collection of music. Transcendent in every sense of the word.
Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone were pure genius. Period!
ennio morricone, genial compositeur de musique de film, merci Mr Morricone.
nunca..NUNCA se volverán a hacer películas del oeste tan grandiosas como se hacían antes, con esa magia... estupendas bandas sonoras
Si el cine Italiano vuelve a la vida lo primero que debemos hacer es alejarlo de la influencia hollywoodense.
@@ripast2605 no podría estar más de acuerdo! 👍
I doubt life will again be as happy and as innocent as it was then. It's as though people choose to be angry and mean.
Never x
But we have the best
@@hansypansy5 Yeah, unfortunately i think you're right. And it isn't just westerns. Good movies nowadays are as rare as rain in the desert. 99% it's just chewing gum cinema. There's 3 or 4 directors out there that do try and still make good movies, but this level of directing, consistency, and artistic quality, i think it's gone.
Sir, born in 79 in Romania, i grew up with your music discovered in westerns, which where the only movies not banned in comunism era. Even now i think that without your music not even clint eastwood would have managed to have such a succes in movies without your soundtrack. thank you for your work. your songs are immortal.
May you live in happiness and freedom. 🇺🇸
@@lakotafire2804 😉 since 1989, we live in freedom, thus, corruption in romania is greater than in communism
@@TheChurlishBoor true. So fuc.. true
Ennio Morricone, Absolute musical GENIUS !!!!
These movies are so great, no studio has the guts to remake them. Can't screw with perfection.
They were remakes of japanese classics of their own right - they just took them to a whole new level. I think it's the lack of hollywood polish, grimy/sandy costumes, moral ambiguity and, of course, the excellent soundtracks that made the films. There are times in the films when you don't even realise the music has started, having grown up from the silence... the tension so real. :)
It wasn’t until I was older and mature watching the movies again that I realized that there was a lot more to them than “ shoot ‘em up”. Ennio’s music made the movies the masterpieces that they are!
One of The Greatest Musical Maestros of all Time, his musical Legend will last Forever! Leone made The visuals, Morricone did the rest! Legends of Cinema!
La nostalgia per un tipo di musica e di film che non esiste più... Grazie Sergio grazie Ennio nel tempo immortali!
For me this music is from another universe. I am fifty and I was introduced to Sergio Leone films I was ecstatic with the interaction between seeing and hearing. I keep going back to these days when I hear Maestro's music. What a synthesis, my soul and my heart and my entire body almost aches. I submerge in another dimension being floated into music!
I need to hear this to have hope and stay sane in an insane world. Thank you.
I hear you. And yet, weren't those movies about men doing inhumane things to others, just on a smaller scale than today?
@@Mr22thou the violence yes, but the outright meanness of today was missing, thanks be to God.
@@lakotafire2804 correct, spoken by a true human who clearly knows the difference
Most people measure their sanity by comparing with others around them. I wouldnt use that approach for the time being.
Use beauty like this to cling on
The soul is golden
I have loved the arrangements of Ennio Morricone since I first heard his music when I was a teenager, but the beautiful thing is that I love them even more now that I am an elder man searching for the purpose of my life again.
Tony, you're in my prayers. I felt as you until I became a Catholic. No preaching from me. May God surround, embrace and bless you. May you find true happiness.
Godbless.
Loved his music at first sight in The Good. The Bad and The Ugly. love his works even at 70.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I first heard this beautiful music when I was 10 yrs. old. I loved it then and love it even more now as an elderly man. You know what's amazing? Music, especially SL music is timeless, ageless and brings me right back to when I was 10!! If this is the Tony I think it is; I am a big fan or your music as well!
To think Clint did Fistful for 15 k in 1963 while on hiatus from Rawhide and it wasn't released in the USA until 1966. Jack Denton was a late night tv host in Los Angeles,he went overboard about Fistful going so far as showing the scene where Clint is shot five times..u know the rest. Sales at theaters in LA skyrocked!!!
Ennio Morricone is the Mozart of our time. These modern epics will be a narrative for greatness now and in the foreseeable future.
Oui
For me Ecstasy of Gold is the greatest piece of music ever written. I know that's a bold statement, but it gets me deep down inside my soul every time I hear it. Just an amazing composer.
Agreed ...He made Italy proud with his genius ( Sergio Leone as well)
I'm nearly 45 years old, and still love riding my horses and listening to this music!!! NEVER GETS OLD!!! 🤠
I still get chills listening to his music , so perfect and fitting for his movies. He was a genius .
Ironically it was quiet the opposite as far i know.. Sergio Leone told: that Ennio Morricone first made the music, and Sergio than tried to make to movie fit to the music. That was the ''secret'' - so that the result seemed: that the music fit perfectly to the movie.
@@PygmalionFaciebat That's fascinating , I would have thought that the movie inspired the brilliant music. Both are genuine classics.
Amazing. Ennio Morricone is 90-years-old and is still working for films today.
I will see him live this Saturday! The maestro is 90 years old, incredible!
the hateful eight.. !
He is amazing. Was to one of his concerts a few years ago on his '60 Years in Music' tour.
After 70 Years old He Finally won an Oscar. For His Work in the Hateful eight.
Nick Jasper: BENDITO SEAS, MAESTRO DE MAESTROS. TU CREATIVIDAD MUSICAL ES INDESCRIPTIBLEMENTE HERMOSA. ES UN REGALO DE DIOS. POR ESO LA CONSIDERO UN GRAN HOMENAJE AL SUPREMO ARTE DE LA MÚSICA CELESTIAL...!!
De très belles musiques, des films mythiques... Un grand artiste Ennio Morricone
Gen Z, this is movie 🎬 music. Slow down, open your mind, and listen. If you don't enjoy it, then know why your generation is so instant coffee. 😊
Absolutely A Masterpiece. Ennio Morricone. RIP. Thank you for such beautiful music 🎶
A mi papá le gustaba esta música ahora el ya no está no me canso de escuchar estás obras de artes echa música Ennio Morricone naciste con un don especial hacer feliz alas personas
RIP to this ABSOLUTE LEGEND of a composer
Sergio Leone: Dieser Name war Garant für spannende Western von großer Klasse. Danke, habe fast alle gesehen und genossen ❤❤❤
Man with harmonica the best for me, when you know the story and you hear it, you feel all the sadness and the anger of the heroe. It's a masterpiece
