Ennio Morricone & Peter Tevis - Pastures of Plenty

- In the early 1960's, Ennio Morricone did the musical arrangements for American folk singer Peter Tevis. Among their collaborations was the old Woody Guthrie song "Pastures of Plenty" which Morricone later turned into the theme for "Fistful of Dollars". Also included here is another Morricone/Tevis song "Notte Infinita". You can hear how both of these songs defined what would later become the "spaghetti western" sound. Sadly, Peter Tevis passed away in 2006, nearly losing his singing voice in the preceding years.

For a Handful of Dollars sung by the brilliant voice of Peter Tevis.
This song--even with the lyrics--is eerily appropriate for The Man With No Name in "Fistful". He comes with the dust, to wreak havoc and bring the gangs to a chaotic end...and then he's gone...with the wind.
A very unusual version of this great Woody Guthrie song. Ennio Morricone's very distinct style comes through clearly and powerfully. I like it!
So while I can’t understand the second half, it is still one of the most inspiring songs ever
Had no idea this existed and my life is far better now
Jarvis Cocker on radio 6 just played this and I just had to google it..!! Fantastic and apt as we are off to Arizona this year.. Will definitely have this on our road trip soundtrack :) Top tune.
Quite surreal. Literally goosebumps 👍
I've waited years to hear this in full, after just a brief extract on a BBC documentary on Morricone. Thanks very much for sharing it. Not only does it show the genesis of the Fistful of Dollars theme, it also confirms that the choral chant in that movie is "With the wind!" rather than (as I'd thought for about 30 years) "We can win!"
In the Dollars movie I always thought they chanted "We can fight!" I still think that is what they are saying.
azowipe1 the lyrics were changed for the movie. According to album liner notes the words in the movie are We Can Fight. Moriconne and and Tevis were a perfect team.
Yes, in "A Fistful Of Dollars" it is "We can fight!"
same for me mate but i found the documentry in 2020 and then came here
@@sandipanbhandari4238 - Me too.
I'm going to be playing this a lot. Great!
I've always wanted to hear this recording -- THANK YOU!
thank you for this post !!
Pastures of plenty is a great song.
It's great~!!!!
forti i western w Ennio Morricone grande il compianto Peter Tevis
It is one of the most tragic stories in popular music history.
That the great singer Peter Tevis fell ill with Parkinson's and could therefore no longer appear as a singer and make further recordings.
That leaves us with the few recordings he made between 1962 and 1970.
To date, there is no CD by him with all his songs - just as tragic !!!
One of the best singers and no CD yet !!
Hi, there was another great singer for morricone's western music :
Search for: < Maurizio Graf > " Il Ritorno di Ringo " also a * MILESTONE *
@@mariocaffari5015Yes, but all recordings by Maurizio Graf and Ennio Morricone are on CD, since Maurizio Graf didn't record as many songs as Peter Tevis.
In addition, Peter Tevis was much more convincing and he had the better voice.
The ultimate singer for Ennio Morricone was Peter.
Maurizio Graf also recorded beautiful songs.

The second song here I actually recognize as the music for an old Appalachian American Christmas carol - "I Wonder as I Wander". Morricone obviously put different words to it. Interesting to hear the origins of this genius.
Not familiar with the carol, but Guthrie's original is written to the tune of "Pretty Polly," although he does it in a major key unlike most versions.
Any lyric changes....was by Peter Tevis..who also worked with Morricone on other songs..
Ennio the best ...The best my idol forever
Tevis is Morricone's voice. Tragic he is barely known. Literally heart-breaking.
Hi, there is one more voice for master morricone : < Maurizio Graf > search for :
" Il Ritorno di Ringo " a MILESTONE in Music - History !
This classic song by Peter Tevis of California, was released in 1962.
I didn't know that the Fistful of Dollars soundtrack was sampled from a Woody Guthrie cover! Amazing fact!
Not 'sampled from,' as sampling didn't exist. Sampling is taking a piece of a recording and putting it digitally into your music.
What happened here is that Ennio Morricone wrote and arranged the music for this Woody Guthrie cover. The original is a basic guitar.
Sergio Leoni heard this and wanted it and so Morricone removed the vocals and added the whistling. But it is all Morricone.
@@AnyoneCanSee You beat me to it! Saves me giving the lesson....
Sampled my ass.
@@AnyoneCanSee Peter Tevis...did the changes from the Guthrie original...and arranged it this way..Morricone...did further orchestration arrangements. Tevis also worked with Morrecone on other songs...
Peter Tevis & Ennio Morricone - Un Pugno di... West album + The Single Pastures of Plenty/Notte Infinita = The almost forgotten Masterpiece !!
And now after all these years a new * STAR * comes to you < Maurizio Graf >
Great thanks for sharing
perfect
Intersting piece of history. I do prefer the more famous later score of the movie but still. This is nice.
Thank you for posting this. It is still "we can win" to me, tho.
nice thanks
Peter Tevis was a fantastic tenor.
Even if Ennio Morricone partly uses the text of Pastures of Plenty by Woody Guthrie, the melody and the text change is still something independent.
The song by Woody Guthrie served as a source of inspiration.
It's also on the expanded CD release.
apparently this is the recording that started morricone's relationship with sergio leone, since the latter was so impressed?
at any rate thanks so much, ive always wanted to listen to this! i love youtube haha
incredibile
They say "With the wind"! All those years I thought it was "We can win" :-D
Same!
in the re-recording it is "with the wind"
I always thought: 'We can fight'
@@kristo1981 I still think it is something with "FIGHT". Just because this version had "With the Wind" doesn't mean they didn't change this up in the next one. I can't hear "With the Wind" in the Fistful of Dollars"
Nobody really knows what the chorus in "Fistful of Dollars" says - but it is not "with the wind". The film version is a new recording but based on the same arrangement and temp.
Whoa!
Hi, try Ennio's main voice * Maurizio Graf *
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sergio Leone said about this song than he liked the instrumental, but the voice "broke his balls"
Morricone liked Tevis's voice so much, he hired him to sing other western themes.. They worked together on other songs, too...Tevis writing some of the lyrics... Tevis and I were best friends, until he passed..
je decouvre cette version chanté!
a quand le dvd du film en france??
"pour une poigneé de dollars"
Hands up if Adam and Joe's Ditties in the Dock has sprung to mind.
Baxters over there, Rojos there, and me right in the middle.
heard this for the first time on acid. somebody put it on at like 2 AM. weirdest experience I ever had. I felt like I was in the 49'ers group crossing the sierras.
WOW! Huge Morricone/Spaghetti Western fan but I've never heard this before - absolutely amazing and thanks for the upload.
Do u know if Notte Infinita was ever used for a movie - it would be fantastic if it was!
When Leone interviewed Morricone he told him his stuff sounded too much like “bad Dimitri Tiomkin.” Referring to his score for 7 Guns For The McGreggors.Leone was looking for music like The Deguello from Rio Bravo that ironically was composed by Dimitri Tiomkin. Morricone then played the Peter Tevis song he produced. Leone screamed “That’s IT, THAT’S THE SOUND IM LOOKING FOR! Can we use it without the vocals?” The rest was history and the Peter Tevis record was reissued and Tevis landed gigs singing songs in various Italian westerns.
May I ask...is the famous american tune "Ghost riders in the sky" arranged by Morricone used in any of Sergio Leone's movie? I would say yes, but can't remember where...
Love Morricone for film scores but give me Woody's authenticity or Seeger's directness anytime or even Odetta's unsurpassed singing
@azowipe1
Exactly what I thought! I only stumbled upon this by chance... have you also heard the song that goes with 'Few Dollars More' by Maurizio Graf (I think) about ' cursed the day that ever I was born' etc. It's odd to hear it to start with but it has grown on me. It's on youtube somewhere
@azowipe1 Exactly what I thought! ('We can win')
전설의 원류를 찾아 거슬러 올라왔습니다 ㅎㅎ
Anyone have the lyrics to the second song, Notte Infinita? I tried to internet it...it did not work. I don't want a translation, I just want the Italian lyrics.
Anyone?

Io penso guardando le onde del mar
Io penso all'amore lontano da me
Stanotte io cerco ma senza trovar
le tracce di gioia fuggita con te
Lo grida il vento, lo urla il mar
L'amore perduto mai più tornerà;
E mille gabbiani volando lassù;
Ripetono ancora ,non tornerà più'
La sabbia che vola col vento e va,
somiglia alle frasi che canto per te
Io piango un amore che domani non ha
E' questa la notte che mai finirà;
Io penso guardando le onde del mar
io penso all'amore lontano da me
stanotte io cerco ma senza trovar
le tracce di gioia fuggita con te
Lo grida il vento, lo urla il mar
L'amore perduto mai più tornerà;
E mille gabbiani volando lassù;
Ripetono ancora non tornerà più;
La sabbia che vola col vento e va,
somiglia alle frasi che canto per te
Io piango un amore che domani non ha
E' questa la notte
che mai finirà
Thank you, it is super helpful. Now I can sing along.
+Linm' Hi Linm', thank you for the text, but i'm italian and i have to say you that you did a mistake: the verb "peduto" is wrong; the correct verb is "perduto". Probably you wrote "peduto" for hearing the pronunciation of the autor. Very Thanks for the text, too. Goodbye
yeah i know it's "perduto", just a typing error on my part ;)
+Linm' sorry, another correction: "fuggita" not "fuggiata". i know, very sorry

The second song "notte infinita" sounded better if it was in english
the melody sounds like the traditional folk song, adapted by composer John Jacob Niles, "I wonder as I wander."
This mister strolls into some town
This mister strides into some shitty township
Like Moses
The people like the Red Sea
Like Moses
The townfolk like the Red Sea
My mistake, he does not stroll
He does not stride
He smokes into town, goddamn
Like dust with boots on
He's looking around and it's making him smile
He's pushing them around
Because it makes him smile
These bastards' disgrace is conspicuous
They creep away
