Morricone, Ennio
For A Fistful Of Westerns
Maestro Morricone is famously known for his music for spaghetti westerns, most notably for his soundtrack masterpieces for Sergio Leone's films such as 'A Fistful Of Dollars' (1964), 'For A Few Dollars More' (1965), 'Once Upon A Time In The West' (1968), and 'A Fistful Of Dynamite' (1971). But, besides these iconic themes, the Morricone compilation also features music from the westerns starring the legendary 'Giuliano Gemma - A Pistol For Ringo' and 'The Return Of Ringo' - both directed by Duccio Tessari, the songs 'Angel Face' (with lyrics by Gino Paoli) and 'The Return Of Ringo' respectively performed by Maurizio Graf with pop music arrangements that were popular at the time. With 'Pistols Don't Argue' (1964) Morricone experiments with a still undefined pre-Leone sound, 'Death Rides A Horse' (1967) presents a main theme for guitars ostinatos, exotic flutes and choir. 'For Life Is Tough, Eh Providence?' Ennio Morricone creates a theme that mixes religious elements for a female choir with modern arrangements. And 'A Fist Goes West' (1981) a late Western in which the composer himself interprets the Indian's screams. Released on clear orange vinyl.
