Song of the Day: Red Sonja’s Main Title Theme by Ennio Morricone

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today’s song of the day comes from a film that may not be good but which is kind of fun, 1985’s Red Sonja.  Ennio Morricone’s score for this film was enjoyably silly, much like the film itself.  The main theme finds Morricone in a playful mood so listen and enjoy!

Song of the Day: La Resa by Ennio Morricone

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today’s selection in our on-going tribute to the memory of Ennio Morricone comes to us from the score for Sergio Sollima’s 1966 film, The Big Gundown.

Even though Morricone may be best known for his work with Sergo Leone, he provided scores for several different Spaghetti western directors.  The epic grandeur of the Italian westerns has as much to do with Morricone’s music as it does with any individual director or even any individual star.  For many, Morricone was the composer of the mythological old west.

Here is La Resa:

Song of the Day: For Love One Can Die by Ennio Morricone

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today’s song of the day comes from a 1972 Italian film called D’amore si muore.  I haven’t seen this film and I really don’t know much about it.  As far as I can tell, it appears that it might not even be available here in the U.S.  If anything, the film appears to be best-known for Ennio Morricone’s theme music.

From Morricone, here is a beautiful composition called For Love One Can Die:
