excellent new short documentary on morricone's studio & methods with some of the shift/session players with whom he collaborated..an interesting peek into his genius
"CELEBRATING ENNIO MORRICONE: THE SECRETS BEHIND HIS GENIUS"
To commemorate what would have been Ennio Morricone’s 92nd birthday, his closest collaborators have reunited for the first time in years at Maestro Morricone’s studio in Rome – the historic Forum Studios, founded by Maestro Morricone in 1970 together with Armando Trovajoli, Luis Bacalov and Piero Piccioni.

kurosawas yojimbo and seven samurai (remade as the magnificent seven) were groundbreaking and highly influential! great scores as well!
fumio hayasaka who scored seven samurai, died young, but was highly influential ...he was mentor to masaru sato who scored yojimbo

Morricone was great...he could be so weird, or so lush and beautiful.
I worked up a solo guitar arrangement of music from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Love that twangy guitar!

actually the now classic a fistful of dollars was the first "unofficial" remake of yojimbo...so much so that spaghetti western master sergio leone, had to make a pay out to kurosawa for his "borrowings"...of course maestro morricone wrote the score for a fistful...and a classic it is

That didn't sound right, so I found this. Sergio Leone filmography - Wikipedia
In any case, Once Upon a Time in The West is my favorite movie. Great main characters, with operatic themes for each. The one for Claudia ("Mrs. McBain") was breathtaking, as was Claudia herself. :0
