About Ennio Morricone

Ennio Morricone was one of the most influential and prolific composers in the history of film, writing the scores to more than four hundred movies. His unforgettable themes for Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns, from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly to Once Upon a Time in the West, redefined what a soundtrack could be. Across half a century he composed for Hollywood and Italian cinema alike, winning an honorary and a competitive Academy Award and leaving a body of work that transcends film.
