Ennio Morricone : In His Own Words
Ennio Morricone - Book - edited by Alessandro De Rosa
(2019)
Master
composer Ennio Morricone's scores go hand-in-hand with the idea of the
Western film. Often considered the world's greatest living film
composer, and most widely known for his innovative scores to The Good,
the Bad, and the Ugly and the other Sergio Leone's movies, The Mission,
Cinema Paradiso and more recently, The Hateful Eight, Morricone has
spent the past 60 years reinventing the sound of cinema. In Ennio
Morricone: In His OwnWords, composers Ennio Morricone and Alessandro De
Rosa present a years-long discussion of life, music, and the marvelous
and unpredictable ways that the two come into contact with and influence
each other.
The
result is what Morricone himself defines: "beyond a shadow of a doubt
the best book ever written about me, the mostauthentic, the most
detailed and well curated. The truest." Opening for the first time the
door of his creative laboratory, Morricone offers an exhaustive and rich
account of his life, from his early years of study to genre-defining
collaborations with the most important Italian and international
directors, including Leone, Bertolucci, Pasolini, Argento, Tornatore,
Malick, Carpenter, Stone, Nichols, De Palma, Beatty, Levinson,
Almodovar, Polanski and Tarantino. In the process, Morricone unveils the
curious relationship that links music and imagesin cinema, as well as
the creative urgency at the foundation of his experimentations with
"absolute music".
Throughout
these conversations with De Rosa, Morricone dispenses invaluable
insights not only on composing but also on the broader process of
adaptation and what it means to be human. As he remindsus, "Coming into
contact with memories doesn't only entail the melancholy of something
that slips away with time, but also looking forward, understanding who I
am now. And who knows what else may still happen."
