Un tranquillo posto di campagna, Pt. 11Ennio Morricone12rank/position

Ennio Morricone – Un tranquillo posto di campagna, Pt. 11 – (1968)

On July 26, 2020, Ennio Morricone, one of the most important composers in the history of film music, passed away at the age of 91.

Born in Rome, Italy, in 1928, this great maestro, since his debut as a film composer in the early 1960s, continued to create remarkable pieces that have gone down in cinema history.

He provided scores that were not mere accompaniments, but at times shone like leading characters, helping to bring masterpieces to life.

While Morricone is known for his poignant early themes for spaghetti westerns such as A Fistful of Dollars and for the melodious, beautiful style of works like Cinema Paradiso, he also had a distinctly experimental side.

The piece introduced here is from the soundtrack to A Quiet Place in the Country (1969).

Listening to its thoroughly contemporary sound, performed by an improvisational ensemble to which Morricone himself belonged, will surely upend the common image many have of him.

Including Morricone’s own trumpet performance, it reveals a new facet of the maestro—one capable of crafting music that is complex and uncanny, tribal and primal, like a festival of sound.

Take this opportunity to discover it!
