ONN – Ennio Morricone Dies At 91: Oscar Winning Movie Composer Of Theme From Hateful 8, & Good, Bad, Ugly
The famed composer of over 500 movie themes and scores passed away due to complications related to a fall he took in Rome, very early this morning. His website best describes the artist and how well-respected he is:
Ennio Morricone is rightly considered one of the world’s greatest film composers, a legend whose work has reached far beyond the scorched desert-scapes of Almeria (A Few Dollars More) and the tumultuous waters of Iguazu Falls (The Mission). Much sought after by filmmakers the world over for his matchless versatility and productivity, Morricone’s innovative soundworks and truly exhaustive range of musical styles have complemented practically every conceivable movie genre there is.
However, he has not solely restricted himself to the silver screen, having created some remarkable signature pieces for radio and theatre, together with extensive forays into both absolute and applied music. Fondly referred to as il maestro by his peers, Morricone is just that: a master of his craft, a true virtuoso, effortlessly interweaving contrasting styles to produce some of the most sublime music of our day.
Stay tuned.
