		Ennio Morricone was born in Rome in 1928.
		Ennio Morricone is no stranger to the world of recordings, in 1981 he scored an enormous success with his music to the popular BBC TV series "Chi Mai" (The Life And Times of David Lloyd George).
		Take film; before Morricone, people bought and listened to the scores of musicals; after him, the soundtrack itself became not just an adjunct (however excellent and crucial) to a film, but a work of art in itself.

	Ennio Morricone Redux by Alan Bishop- Sun City Girls
		When this film was released in 1969, Ennio Morricone owned (lock, stock and barrel) the audio backdrop of the American Southwest from his perch in Italy.
		Morricone set the bar high for himself, otherwise this would be considered a great score.
		Morricone's last stab at a Western to date (No, I don't include "U-Turn"), the title track is a fair re-creation of cut one from 1973's My Name is Nobody.

	SoundtrackNet : Film Music Masterworks: Ennio Morricone Soundtrack
		If you are a Morricone fan, there won't be much of a surprise with what they choose.
		Morricone's trademark female choral pieces ("Jill's Theme", "Deborah's Theme," "Regan's Theme") are all appropriately haunting with soloists who know how to the handle dips and curves of his music.
		To show their good taste, they start the album with my favorite Morricone theme of all time "The Man with the Harmonica." In one of the album's few missteps, neither the harmonica solo nor the guitar counterpoint is as strong as the string section around them.

	Ipecac Recordings - Ennio Morricone
		It is the responsibility of the few to carry the torch of truth and integrity through the dark ages we find ourselves in and this heroic set of soundtrack rarities shows us that the spirit of freedom is, has been and always will be alive and well.
		Ennio Morricone is arguably the most prolific film composer of the modern era, having scored in excess of five hundred films since the mid-20th century.
		To singularly align Morricone with one style of music however would be to overlook a tremendous body of work that spans nearly every predefined genre, and some styles that people have yet to pinpoint as a genre.

	MySpace.com - Ennio Morricone - Rome - Classical / Folk - www.myspace.com/enniomorricone
		His first film scores were relatively undistinguished, but he was hired by Leone for Per un pugno di dollari (1964) on the strength of some of his song arrangements.
		His score for that film, with its sparse arrangements, unorthodox instrumentation (bells, electric guitars, harmonicas, the distinctive twang of the jew's harp) and memorable tunes, revolutionised the way music would be used in Westerns, and it is hard to think of a post-Morricone Western score that doesn't in some way reflect his influence.
		Although his name will always be synonymous with the spaghetti Western, Morricone has also contributed to a huge range of other film genres: comedies, dramas, thrillers, horror films, romances, art movies, exploitation movies -making him one of the film world's most versatile artists.

	Filmtracks: Fateless (Ennio Morricone)
		Fateless: (Ennio Morricone) Based on the 1975 autobiographical novel by Imre Kertesz, and adapted to the screen by the Nobel Prize-winner himself, Fateless is an impressionistic telling of one teenage boy's experiences in Hitler's death camps, and his equally alienating experiences after liberation.
		Kertesz was ecstatic to have the opportunity to work with veteran composer Ennio Morricone, whose career in Italy since receding from the American spotlight has hardly missed a beat.
		Despite having composed darker chapters for such horrors on screen before, Morricone handles Fateless in a manner that is more consistent with his upbeat positive drama and romance efforts, choosing to provide a counterpoint to the primary character's seemingly lost and uncaring soul.

	VATEL \| Ennio Morricone @ Cinemusic Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The movie's setting, the year 1670, is around the beginning of Western music's baroque era and Morricone tries his hand at writing some authentic French Baroque counterpoint- and he succeeds admirably.
		Morricone does such superb imitations that on my initial listens to this album I had to check to see whether Morricone or a Baroque composer wrote the music- and in many cases it was in fact a Morricone cue.
		The most interesting part of VATEL is the concert pieces that Morricone composed as source music for this film.

		And just on schedule, Morricone's Malèna is the newest Italian score in a line of European underdogs to mesmerize the Academy which holds its annual awards.
		Morricone's variation of the Italian motif is exactly that...
		Should Morricone's score for Malèna overcome the great odds of beating Gladiator for the Academy Award this year, then I will disappointed, because even though Malèna is a decent score by any standard, it is simply too much of the same old flavor.

	A Fistful of Guitars - A Tribute to Morricone's Spaghetti Western Themes
		Ennio Morricone reinvented western movie music with his score for A Fistful of Dollars [Un Pugno di Dollari] in 1964.
		At Leone's request, Morricone arranged the main Fistful theme with elements (whip cracks, bells, hammers, flutes, vocal chorus, and electric guitar) that he had previously used on a 1962 folk-pop single (for Peter Tevis, who was the vocalist on Gunfight at Red Sands and Guns Don't Argue, singing Woody Guthrie's "Pastures of Plenty").
		Morricone (as quoted by Frayling) explains that he sought to match his music to Leone's characters: "Certain characters in his films, the bad ones in particular, are very Italian, and even very Roman.
