Ennio Morricone has passed away

I'm a massive fan. Most of my work starts with the thought, "What would Morricone do?"

3 of my faves:

Come Madalena (Disco version) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09zymfLwBoc&feature=youtu.be

The Thief - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_qmmpHFr4U&feature=youtu.be

Grazie Zia - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbLmZWQleLc&feature=youtu.be

and here is one that I wrote in under his influence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asSPjhwUtt4


RIP maestro.

Nella Fantasia" ("In My Fantasy") is a song sung in Italian based on the theme "Gabriel's Oboe" from the film The Mission (1986). With music by composer Ennio Morricone and lyrics by Chiara Ferraù, "Nella Fantasia" is popular among classical crossover singers, and was originally released in 1998 by Sarah Brightman. It has since been covered by many artists.

They made us watch The Mission in school. That's how I was introduced to the music of Ennio Morricone. Been a fan since then. 

Tremendous loss, a true “Score Master”. Many favorite movies always completed by his contributions.

Our lives are truly richer
