THE work of composer Ennio Morricone, who died yesterday aged 91, was the soundtrack to Italy’s post-war cultural success as well as its political imbroglio.
One of the most versatile composers for film, Morricone worked with numerous directors and film-makers, including Terence Malick and Quentin Tarantino, and toured extensively with his orchestra.
But while he was better known for the deeply evocative themes for his schoolfriend Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns (The Good the Bad and the Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars, and For a Few Dollars More), Morricone’s vast oeuvre also included a number of lesser known but critically acclaimed Italian films from the post-neorealist period, as well as Dario Argento’s famous horror films.
