Ditto; we saw a couple of concerts he conducted a few years back and my wife came down the aisle to one of his tunes played on the organ. Wonderful music. RIP.

The man as a composer for scores was immense, dare i say it for me even bigger than John Williams, darker and more interesting.

His scores will live on in my life forever.

once upon a time in the west is true genius, the score makes the film, which is also magnificent and stand above many similar films in my opinion.

it was - along with a lot of other Sergio Leone films (apparently they were school friends)

I assume Eric Mc was referring to my wedding comment... It was Gabriel’s Oboe actually smile Although the one he suggested could have been more amusing.

There was a photo on the news last night of Morricone and Leone almost side-by-side as young school boys; I had no idea they went back that far.

Indeed, a film i watch every year in a dark quiet room, just brilliant.

He created some amazing work for decades, top of his game genius.
