Starting this post off with the Grammy Award nominated theme to The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Iyt was Ennio Morricone's first Grammy Nomination he would eventually win two.
In his life he composed the scores for over 400 movies and television shows. Considered among the best. if not the best at what he did. He was very influential and his legacy will continue with his influence.
"For A Few Dollars More"
The opening track for The Hateful Eight
That movie won him an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a few other awards.
The theme to "The Mission"
His music came alive in the movies we watched. Setting the mood, the scene, and your reaction. His work will live on as part of the films. He will be missed!

This man was simply brilliant. I love that Sergio Leone told Ennio to create the music and he will work his film around that. I have the soundtrack, in an album, of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and listened to it just this past weekend. The Hateful Eight is not one of my favourites but did he ever get this film down from the deep notes he uses throughout the piece. It sounds horror like. I love the last one from The Mission as well. So great!
