    We are sad to hear of the death of composer Ennio Morricone. We have all been touched by his music, not just that for films, like The Mission and Cinema Paradiso for which he is most celebrated but also by his concert music, like his Voca Dal Silenzio, a cantata written in response to September 11th. Morricone was able to please not just cinema audiences, but “absolute music” enthusiasts too.
    His writing for whistling and in particular for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly will always have a special place in our hearts.
    Addio Signor Morricone. Grazie per la musica.

      When I learnt the death of Master Morricone today, I thought about your interpretation of this movie music... I saw him in concert 2 years ago: it was magic! you are propelled into the film through music. Master Morricone said that a film is 50% of visual, and the other 50% is the music. Thank you Master.

      when I saw them live many years ago, he whistled a classical piece of music, prefaced by the story that, when he auditioned for the ukulele orchestra, he didn't play the uke at all and instead whistled them that same classical tune. He was offered the job on the spot, I believe.

    The whistling is really hard to do as you need to be pitch perfect to start with. But the added pressure is if you even begin to smile - the whistle goes out the window. You simply can NOT whistle and smile or laugh at the same time.And how could you not smile through this. So endearing. I love it

      With practice you can whistle continuously for some time.
      You can whistle while breathing in too. You pick a point where there's a hard note change and change direction of the air flow.
      You can then whistle continuously until you get cramp in your jaw or your lips/mouth dry up.

    Such memories when I found this on my phone! I was at this concert with my husband and it was such a joyful evening. My husband has since passed but it was so good to relive that time. We were early and helped get out the chairs and had good seats near the front. What amazing musicians they were , great characters, clever and funny. Thanks for the memories. B.

She loves the uke. She lives in another state, and the other day she played a song for us on her ukulele. We listened by phone. Loved it and love her. I love the humor from this group and the talent they have. Keep up the good work gang.
