Ennio Morricone (1928–2020), born in Rome, is a famous Italian film scorer. On July 6 of this year, Moon accidentally broke his femur, causing complications and died in Rome at the age of 91.

Morricone's father was a trumpeter, and the invisible subliminal influence on him. Morricone was trained in music studies from an early age and for a long time worked in orchestral music. Before working with the famous Italian Western director Leone, he was unknown. In the wave of macaroni Westerns sweeping Europe and even the world, Morricone created a large number of Western soundtracks, as well as other film soundtracks, and eventually became a world-renowned film score master, his most recent creation is quentin Western "Eight Wicked" soundtrack.

In that year, during Leone's first Western film, "Red Dead Redemption", he was introduced to Morricone, and Morricone first recognized Leone as his elementary school classmate. A Bole, a Maxima, when Leone listened to some of his music, hit it off, and then began their enduring and great collaboration. As the years passed, it left a lot of moving music for future generations, which has been sung to this day!

Here's an interesting story: During the filming of "The Golden Three" with Leone, because Morricone sometimes fell asleep while working in the studio, Leone had people turn off the studio lights, lock the doors, and then imitate the ghost into the microphone: Everyone is working, and Morricone where are you? You're sleeping! Morricone was so frightened that he hurried to find an exit, but could not open the door, and was very embarrassed by Leone's trickery.
Morricone made his first appearance in China in 2009 and performed at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and the following year at the Shanghai World Expo. As a fan of his, I regret not being able to witness the master's style with my own eyes!

Morricone rose to fame for his participation in Leone's macaroni Western soundtrack, which was unusual. In his music, whistles, vocals, whips can be heard; Mexican instruments, pianos, trumpets and other instrumental music is abundant, and it is an eclectic composition of exciting or gentle lyrical music.
His soundtrack is so wide that audiences who like Italian Westerns must recognize the indispensable role of his soundtrack in the film. Let's meditate on those classics: "The Dart Trilogy", "Once Upon a Time in the West", "Once Upon a Time in America", "Once Upon a Time in the Revolution", "Cinema Paradisite", etc., as well as those non-mainstream macaroni Westerns: "Great Silence", "The Great Hunt", "Reg's Gun", "Death On Horseback" and so on. The ghost Quentin directly applied his music to many movies such as "Eight Wicked Men" and "Django Liberated".
The master is gone, and the music of the macaroni Western is still loud. prayer! Remember!
