Biography

Classical music

Morricone was born in Rome and was educated at the National Academy of Santa Cecilia in the trumpet, composition, choral music and choral direction under Goffredo Petrassi, who deeply influenced him and to whom Morricone has dedicated concert pieces. Rome ( Roma ˈroma Roma is the capital city of Italy and Lazio, and is Italy's largest and most populous city with more than 2 The Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia ( English: National Academy of St Cecilia is one of the oldest musical institutions in the world For the musical composition see Chorale. A choir, chorale, or chorus is a Musical ensemble of Singers Goffredo Petrassi ( 16 July 1904 &ndash 3 March 2003) was an Italian Composer of Modern classical music, Impelled by his father Roberto to also take up the trumpet, he had first gone to Santa Cecilia to take lessons on the instrument at the age of 9. Ennio formally entered the conservatory in 1940 at the age of 12, enrolling in a four-year harmony program at a music conservatory. In various reports, he completed it in two years or six months (date approximate). [4] These were the difficult years of World War II in the heavily-bombed "Open City": the composer remarked that he mostly remembered the hunger. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Many years were spent in study, giving him the extraordinary level of technique all his music exhibits. His wartime experiences influenced many of his scores for films set in that period.

After he graduated, he continued to work in uncompromising classical composition and arrangement. Initially influenced by John Cage — particularly the American's use of silence — he wrote more in the climate of the Italian avant-garde.

The elderly maestro has spoken to the Italian press about his ostracism. Those who concern themselves with "serious" music have been unable or unwilling all these many years to esteem someone who made a living by making soundtracks for Westerns. The Western is a fiction Genre seen in Film, Television, Radio, Literature, Painting and other Visual arts. Slowly, interest and acceptance are coming. The championing of his work, particularly Voci dal silenzio (his response to the September 11, 2001 attacks) by the renowned conductor Riccardo Muti has helped reduce that snobbery. WikipediaWikiProject Classical music#Biographical_infoboxes --> Riccardo Muti, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (b Nevertheless, Ennio Morricone continues to compose as he always has, not at a piano, but writing everything in longhand directly onto a full score "with few mistakes"; he "remains baffled" by other composers' use of professional orchestrators, almost the norm in Hollywood. Orchestration is the study or practice of writing Music for Orchestra (or more loosely for any Musical ensemble) or of adapting for orchestra music composed

Leone film scores

Well-versed in a variety of musical idioms from his RCA experience, Morricone began composing film scores in the early '60s. [4] Though his first films were undistinguished, Morricone's arrangement of an American folk song intrigued director and former schoolmate Sergio Leone. Leone hired Morricone and together they created a distinctive score to accompany Leone's different version of the Western, A Fistful of Dollars (1964). [4] As budget strictures limited Morricone's access to a full orchestra, he used gunshots, cracking whips, voices, Sicilian folk instruments, trumpets, and the new Fender electric guitar, rather than orchestral arrangements of Western standards à la John Ford. Morricone used his special effects to punctuate and comically tweak the action, cluing in the audience to the taciturn man's ironic stance. [4] Though sonically bizarre for a movie score, Morricone's music was viscerally true to Leone's vision.

As memorable as Leone's close-ups, harsh violence, and black comedy, Morricone's work helped to expand the musical possibilities of film scoring. [4] Morricone was initially billed on the film as Dan Savio. [4]

Ennio Morricone scored all of Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns and later films from A Fistful of Dollars to Once Upon a Time in America, including For a Few Dollars More (1965), The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) and Once upon a Time in the West (1968).

With the score of A Fistful of Dollars, Morricone started his ten-year collaboration with his childhood friend Alessandro Alessandroni and his Cantori Moderni. Alessandro Alessandroni (born March 16, 1925 in Rome) is an Italian Musician. Alessandroni provided the whistling on the soundtracks. Alessandro Alessandroni's Cantori Moderni were a flexible troupe of modern singers. Morricone specifically exploited the solo soprano of the group, Edda Dell'Orso at the height of her powers  — "an extraordinary voice at my disposal".

Other film scores

Most of Ennio Morricone's film scores of the 1960s were composed outside the Spaghetti Western genre, while still using Alessandro Alessandroni's team.
