Ennio Morricone dead at age 91
 

Beside John Williams, in my opinion one of the two remaining monumental pillars of film music. So unbelievably many good scores, so voluminous a release history. A huge loss for the world of soundtracks.

Just read it in Reuters. He lived long, but the legendary music and fame almost seems to be too big for one man.

Rest in peace Mr. Morricone, we will hear and remember you!

Not the "best", but a recent example:

I'll always remember him for this masterpiece.

After all these years this still touches my heart.

Very sad! I loved "On Earth As It Is In Heaven" (from "The Mission" and the trailer for "A Far Off Place") ever since I was 10 years old. For years I didn't know who had composed it. He certainly made beautiful music.

A terrible loss to film music. I put him up there with Hans Zimmer.

RIP

This is a huge loss to the music and motion picture industry. Ennio Morricone wrote so many great and memorable soundtracks to movies. Who can forget this one ?



I like this version of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly performed by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.

Rest in Peace and thanks for the great music.

Lost one of the greats today. Can’t think of a Western without thinking Ennio Morricone.
