MORRICONE WESTERN

The value given to Morricone as a composer, recognized as well by critics and audiences, isunquestionable... whatever musical genre he is performing. But regarding the Western, the approachof the Maestro can not be indicated and seen only as composer.
His new intuitions in compositionssuch as Una Pistola per Ringo and the music for the first four films of Sergio Leone granted himan instant success and a recognition as a specialist in soundtrack for Western movies.
Now this recognition might be tight for him, but surely if this cinema genre has been one of the most clamorous incident in the international movie chronicles of the 20th century, a big part of the merit can beascribed to him.
The Spaghetti Western results as an individual genre thanks expecially to the innovations, apart from the musical arrangements, of never before used sounds in western movie soundtracks.
Sounds as the anvil, bells, hammers, screams, electric guitars and the Sicilian “maranzano”.
This was a new way to comment a movie that totally changed the already old American standards. It was the creation of a new stile... all Italian.
