Canto Morricone - Songbook, Volume 2, Western Songs And Ballads
BCD 16245 AH

The second volume of our Morricone tribute is devoted to the composer's western songs and political ballads from the Sixties and Seventies. They told heroic stories, and fought for social justice in a dramatic, effective, yet always musical way.

Christy is, together with Edda Dell'Orso, Nora Orlandi and Lydia Mac Donald, one of the most impressive female voices of the Cinema italiano. She has been featured on Canto Volume 1 and opens this collection with the revengeful Al Messico che vorrei from the 1968 film by Giulio Petroni, 'Tepepa'. It's a ballad about the social turbulence in revolutionary Mexico. Christy's high and clear voice returns with Corri uomo corri (Run man run) from the soundtrack of Sergio Sollima's film 'La resa dei conti (The Big Gundown)' in 1967. Raoul, singer on most of Francesco De Masi's western soundtracks and another well-known voice of the genre, performs the English language version of Da uomo a uomo, the leitmotif written by Morricone (with words by Attanasio) for the film of the same name by Giulio Petroni.

Three very typical western ballads are included from Peter Tevis, an American singer who moved to Rome during the Sixties. A Gringo Like Me was from the film 'Duello nel texas' directed by Riccardo Blasco in 1964, Lonesome Billy was from 'Le pistole non discutono' directed by Mario Caiano in 1964, and Per un pugno di dollari was based on the main theme written by Ennio Morricone for Sergio Leone's hit from 1964. The catchy upbeat Mexican-flavoured title track Vamos a matar companeros is from the classic 1970 Sergio Corbucci western. It is justly considered a classic of the genre.

Three more monumental songs belong here. They are performed by Maurizio Graf, perhaps the most famous Italian western singer, and they are Angel Face from 'Una pistola per ringo'. We also have the title song from its sequel, 'The Return of Ringo' as well as Eye For An Eye from the classic soundtrack of 'Per qualche dollaro in piu' directed by Sergio Leone in 1965.

The second part of this volume of Canto Morricone features mostly non-western, political ballads. The spiritual U pa Ni Sha , sung by Rocky Roberts for the Sergio Giordani-directed TV series 'L'Uomo e la magia', dates from 1971. It's followed by Sergio Endrigo's classic La Canzone Della Liberta (words by film director Lucignani) from the 1968 film 'Alibi'. It was recorded later by Milva, among others.

The 1969 mobster movie 'Gli intoccabili' gave us Ballad Of Hank McCain sung by Jackie Lynton, and the political trilogy The Ballad of Sacco And Vanzetti, written and performed by Joan Baez from Giuiano Montaldo's 1970 masterpiece 'Sacco E Vanzetti'. Scott Walker's magical voice dominates another version of this song, taken from his LP 'The Moviegoer.' It is one of the few non-Morricone orchestrations presented in the 'Canto' series. Another is the French language version of the hymnic Here's To You by chansonnier Georges Moustaki. It was arranged by Hubert Rostaing, and makes an interesting comparison with the Joan Baez original included as a coda to our second volume of the Ennio Morricone songbook.

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.
