Song of the Day: The Legend of the Pianist by Ennio Morricone

Today’s song of the day comes from The Legend of 1900, a 1998 film that probably deserves to be a bit better known than it is.  The film’s score was composed by the great Ennio Morricone.  Today’s song from Morricone is The Legend of the Pianist.

Song of the Day: Desolation by Ennio Morricone

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

For today’s song of the day comes from Ennio Morricone’s score for John Carpenter’s remake of The Thing.  Desolation is an aptly named composition because this song capture the feel of isolation and paranoia that has made Carpenter’s film a classic.

Song of the Day: Regan’s Theme by Ennio Morricone

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today’s song of the day comes from Ennio Morricone’s score for Exorcist II: The Heretic.  This is not a film with a great reputation but I think almost everyone agrees that it has a great score.

This is Regan’s Theme.  This song was also later used in Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight.

Song of the Day: The Main Theme From The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly by Ennio Morricone

You knew this one was coming, right?  Seriously, no tribute to Ennio Morricone is complete without the main theme from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. 

Morricone’s score is as much of a character in this film as the ones played by Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef.  It perfectly sets the moods, telling us that we’re about to see something that is truly epic.  The opening notes, which have so often been parodied but which have never lost their power, truly capture the feel of Sergio Leone’s mythical vision of the old west.

So, without further rambling from me, here it is:
