CANTO MORRICONE
SONGBOOK, VOLUME 1 - THE SIXTIES


Perhaps Europe's best-known film composer, Ennio Morricone was born in Rome on 10 November 1928. The son of a trumpeter, Morricone replaced his father in Constantino Ferri's band in 1945, and, while performing, studied orchestration, composition, and conducting at the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia. He graduated in 1956, and, to supplement his earnings, wrote radio and television arrangements for RAI's light music orchestra. This resulted in a contract with RCA, where Morricone went on to write an astonishing 500 arrangements for artists as diverse as Little Peggy March, Mario Lanza, and Paul Anka. Morricone worked for RCA between 1959 and 1967, and his work included Paul Anka's Italian smash hit Ogni Volta.

Morricone's first film score was for the comedy 'Il Federale' in 1961. Three years later, he was hired by Sergio Leone to write the score for 'A Fistful of Dollars', which he wrote under the pseudonym Dan Savio. In stark contrast to American western theme songs, which were often folk-based, Morricone used a haunting combination of cries and a repeated whistled phrase in 'A Fistful of Dollars'. He then worked on Leone's trilogy of 'spaghetti westerns,' and those in turn led to offers of work from leading European directors. Among the best-known films to bear Morricone's trademark skills are 'Battle of Algiers' (directed by Pontecorvo in 1966), 'Big Birds, Little Birds' (directed by Pasolini in 1966), and '1900' (directed by Bertolucci in 1976).

In the Seventies, Morricone began write for American studios, and his work can be heard on such classics as 'Exorcist II' and 'Frantic'. He was nominated for an Oscar for his work on 'Days of Heaven' in 1978 and was nominated again for the score to Roland Joffe's 'The Mission' in 1986, The latter notable for Morricone's use of motifs from early sacred music and native Indian music. In 1987, he received yet another Oscar nomination for 'The Untouchables'. Most recently, Morricone was nominated in 1992 for his work on Warren Beatty's 'Bugsy'.

Altogether, Morricone has scored more than three hundred movies covering every conceivable genre. In the Nineties, he seems to be working as hard as ever, scoring 'Husbands and Lovers', 'City of Joy', 'Hamlet', 'Cinema Paradiso' ...and many others. Along the way, he has also composed several albums of non-film music, and had a #1 hit in England with Chi Mai, a tune he intially composed for the movie 'Maddalena' in the early 1970s, which was used again in 1981 by the BBC television series about the British prime minister Lloyd George. The tune was used yet again in the Jean-Paul Belmondo movie 'The Professional'.

Ennio Morricone still lives in Rome with his wife, Maria, whom he married in 1956, and their four children. Lately, his son Andrea has been following in his father's footsteps. Now in his seventies, Morricone continues to write for movies and has lately turned his attention to extended classical pieces.

Ennio Morricone

Ennio Morricone
Geboren: 10. November 1928  - Gestorben: 6. Juli 2020

Der wohl bekannteste Filmkomponist Europas, Ennio Morricone, wurde am 10. November 1928 in Rom geboren. Als Sohn eines Trompeters ersetzte Morricone 1945 seinen Vater in der Band von Constantino Ferri und studierte Orchestrierung, Komposition und Dirigieren am Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia. Er schloss sein Studium 1956 ab und schrieb zur Ergänzung seines Verdienstes Radio- und Fernseharrangements für das Unterhaltungsmusikorchester der RAI. Dies führte zu einem Vertrag mit RCA, wo Morricone dann erstaunliche 500 Arrangements für so unterschiedliche Künstler wie Little Peggy March, Mario Lanza und Paul Anka schrieb. Morricone arbeitete zwischen 1959 und 1967 für RCA, unter anderem für Paul Anka's italienischen Smash-Hit Ogni Volta.

Morricones erste Filmmusik entstand 1961 für die Komödie "Il Federale". Drei Jahre später wurde er von Sergio Leone beauftragt, die Partitur für "A Fistful of Dollars" zu schreiben, die er unter dem Pseudonym Dan Savio schrieb. Im krassen Gegensatz zu den oft volkstümlichen amerikanischen Western-Themenliedern verwendete Morricone in "A Fistful of Dollars" eine eindringliche Kombination aus Schreien und wiederholtem Pfeifen. Danach arbeitete er an Leones Trilogie der "Spaghetti-Western", die wiederum zu Angeboten von führenden europäischen Regisseuren führte. Zu den bekanntesten Filmen, die das Markenzeichen von Morricone tragen, gehören "Battle of Algiers" (Regie: Pontecorvo 1966), "Big Birds, Little Birds" (Regie: Pasolini 1966) und "1900" (Regie: Bertolucci 1976).

In den siebziger Jahren begann Morricone für amerikanische Studios zu schreiben, und seine Werke sind auf Klassikern wie "Exorzist II" und "Frantic" zu hören. Für seine Arbeit an "Days of Heaven" wurde er 1978 für einen Oscar nominiert und 1986 erneut für die Partitur zu Roland Joffes "The Mission", die sich durch die Verwendung von Motiven aus der frühen geistlichen Musik und der einheimischen indischen Musik auszeichnet. 1987 erhielt er eine weitere Oscar-Nominierung für "Die Unberührbaren". Zuletzt wurde Morricone 1992 für seine Arbeit an Warren Beatty's'Bugsy' nominiert.

Insgesamt hat Morricone mehr als dreihundert Filme in allen denkbaren Genres eingespielt. In den Neunzigern scheint er so hart wie eh und je zu arbeiten, mit'Ehemänner und Liebhaber','Stadt der Freude','Hamlet','Cinema Paradiso'....und vielen anderen. Unterwegs hat er auch mehrere Alben mit Nicht-Filmmusik komponiert und hatte mit Chi Mai einen Nr. 1-Hit in England, eine Melodie, die er in den frühen 70er Jahren für den Film "Maddalena" komponierte, der 1981 von der BBC-Fernsehserie über den britischen Premierminister Lloyd George wieder verwendet wurde. Die Melodie wurde erneut in dem Jean-Paul Belmondo-Film'The Professional' verwendet.

Ennio Morricone lebt bis zu seinem Tode in Rom mit seiner Frau Maria, die er 1956 heiratete, und ihren vier Kindern. In letzter Zeit ist sein Sohn Andrea in die Fußstapfen seines Vaters getreten. Jetzt in seinen siebziger Jahren, Morricone weiterhin für Filme zu schreiben und hat in letzter Zeit seine Aufmerksamkeit auf erweiterte klassische Stücke.
