Ecstasy of Gold - Ennio Morricone - FilmHarmonia

The FilmHarmonia Orchestra plays The Ecstasy of Gold by Ennio Morricone (arr. Flavio R. Cunha).
The Ecstasy of Gold
Morricone's famous and beloved Spaghetti Western scores are inseparable from the films, with The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (1966) being one of the most recognisable. “The Ecstasy of Gold” from this film was written for orchestra with electric guitar and Edda Dell’Orso's haunting, wordless vocals. The tense and dramatic score features the unconventional woodwind sounds and brass stings that we have come to associate with the brutal pursuit of revenge and glory.
Over his six-decade career, Morricone composed over 400 film scores and received accolades including an Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement. Morricone’s background as a trumpeter will come as no surprise to listeners (or players) of his music.
