Ennio Morricone became well-known because of his compositions for Sergio Leone’s Italian western films in the 1960s. But their specific sound is just one aspect of his versatile work which encompasses – among more than 500 compositions for films and television – classical orchestral music, avant-garde jazz, electronic music and allusions of contemporary pop music genres. The first volume of the book series “FilmMusik” addresses this many-sidedness of Morricone’s composing and also includes an exclusive interview with the maestro himself, conducted by Ornella Calvano and Robert Rabenalt. The authors are Roberto Calabretto, Stefan Drees, Christiane Hausmann, Sergio Miceli, Franco Sciannameo and Timothy Summers.
