Ennio Morricone, who took his first steps into music in the narrow streets of Rome, holding his father's trumpet in his hand, went down in history as one of the greatest masters of cinema music. Born on November 10, 1928, Morricone skillfully transferred the solid classical education he received at the Santa Cecilia Music Academy to both orchestral music and film composition in the following years. The real turning point of his career came with his legendary collaboration with director Sergio Leone. The soundtrack to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly redefined the sound of cinema when it was released in 1966. This unique language, in which whistles, human voice, guitar and orchestra were used together, took the "Spaghetti Western" genre to a completely different musical dimension. There's Blood in the West and Once Upon a Time in America are other shining examples of this powerful collaboration; Especially the penetrating melodies of Once Upon a Time in America left deep traces all over the world. Morricone was not limited to the Western genre. The electronic and minimalist music he created for John Carpenter's thriller classic The Thing proved how wide a musical range he could move. He also established an unforgettable common language with Giuseppe Tornatore; Cennet Cinema and Malena are among the most emotional examples of this collaboration. The music of Cennet Cinema translated the nostalgic spirit of cinema into musical language so beautifully that the pieces still fill concert halls today. Morricone, who has composed music for more than five hundred films and TV series over the decades, was awarded the Oscar in 2016 for the original music he wrote for the movie The Hateful Eight; This award was Hollywood finally paying off a long-standing debt. The artist, who also came to the fore as a trumpeter, orchestrator and conductor, passed away in Rome on July 6, 2020. The music he left behind is more than enough to make him immortal.
