Very saddened to hear the news this morning. My favorite and IMHO the greatest movie composer of all time has left us.
He leaves behind an incredible number of masterpieces, ranging from the iconic and genre defining western movie scores, to classical music such as in Once Upon A Time in America and The Mission, to eerie and dark scores in The Hateful Eight. Such an amazing and unique musical talent.
The NY Times has a nice piece about him: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/06/obituaries/ennio-morricone-dead.html
I'll post some of my favorite music by him in the Music, Movies, & TV forum later. Meanwhile I'll leave you with the song that was played in my uncle's funeral – Gabriel's Oboe – one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, IMHO.
RIP, Maestro
