The world is a different place today after the passing of the maestro. There is only a handful of composers that have/had influence on me and he was right there. Farewell sir, you will be missed!!
This is the final release for the Morricone 90 project, celebrating Ennio Morricone's 90th birthday (and today 91st!) with a year's worth of weekly arrangements.
This suite is compiled from over 60 compositions. It draws from every western film (and one advertisement) released between 1963 and 2015 that was either scored by the Maestro or featured his original music.
