Some people just have piss-poor taste in music. What they think is cool is actually what they think OTHERS would think is cool. I call them lemmings, a word I got from William Pierce. They just go along with whatever they think the other lemmings would approve.
Nothing beat that feeling when I got out of the cinema back in the 70's and started running like crazy thinking I'm on a horse wearing a cowboy hat and packed with two colts, the world was mine. What a childhood we had in those days.
A genuine cinema music masterpiece. I was three years old when my father played this film in his movie theatre (I spent at least several nights a week there, even as a toddler), and the music made a very strong impression upon me even then. And how it could it not? The film and music is probably the duo's most "operatic" in style, tone, and structure, and the music is hardly subtle, with each character's themes so overtly identifiable, both in melody and instrumentation. (The word "operatic" is frequently over-used or misused in reference to so many other films that it is impossible to overstate its appropriateness for this film.) I've not seen this film in about 20 years. That will soon change. Thanks for sharing.
Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon A Time In The West” marked the pinnacle of the Italian western genre with an outstanding story, actors and performances, imagery and music. Today we take the chance to celebrate the 90th birthday of Ennio Morricone with one of his most memorable scores for the big screen! P.S. Yesterday’s Video “My Friend Flicka” by Alfred Newman had to be taken down for legal reasons. I am very sorry.
Fred! I clicked on 'My Friend Flicka' just this morning. I'm also sorry but never mind - you have so much lovely music. And although I'm just into the first few minutes it sounds lovely! I also like the little commentary you put at the start of each. This channel isn't just entertaining; it's educational and informative. Keep trucking Fred! Life and the Blessings of Life be upon you! By the way - who wrote the music for Westworld? The first one, nor the one with Peter Fonda - because it seems like I'm hearing an echo here...
Hello Sue and thank you so very much for your kind words! Fred Karlin wrote the score for "Westworld", maybe we will have the music here someday... :-) Regarding the "Flicka" case: Just go to the Soundtrack Fred CZcams page and you will notice some links at the very right of the black and white background photo. One for facebook, one for google+ and one for Vimeo. At the Vimeo page you will get to see most videos that had to be taken down and since today "Flicka" if you like to listen to it again. Best always! Fred
Obwohl der Film nicht so tiefempfunden ist, klingt diese Musik echt spannend und zugleich lyrisch. Der geniale Komponist/Dirigent leitet alle Solisten und andere Instrumente im inspirierenden Tempo mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Echt fantastisch!
My parents saw this movie an my mother was heart touched by Jills theme as all of us are. So beautiful. So growing up in 70s sleeping in my dad blasted LPs Once upon west and Sound of music to get us up out of bed. The Ennio Morricone once upon west LP opens with every song in 1st song. Breath taking beautiful
At the beginning, is that ALSO Edda Dell'Orso...? Whoever she is, she makes a beautiful sound. Never mind, I just looked it up, and she is indeed Edda Dell'Orso. I get chills at the sound of her voice. I just can't seem to get enough.
Hello Robert, it is of course Madame Dell'Orso at the beginning. She and Morricone worked together in "A Few Dollars More" for the first time, over "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly", also on its very famous "Ecstasy Of Gold" piece and on "Duck, You Sucker!" and surely more, which I just don't recall now. But maybe you search for those and enjoy her great voice even more! Fred
Oh! Thank you for this beautiful suite! It was the music that drew me to this movie! Hauntingly beautiful! Thank you for creating this video and sharing it with us. 💕
Oh Fred thank you so very much for putting this films soundtrack on your play lists this has got to be one of Ennios best pieces of music!! I was fortunate to see Ennio playing live this and many pieces of his he apologised for not being able to speak English but as far as I'm concerned he speaks the commen language of us all it's called MUSIC.
I get why some people don't warm to this movie. Arguably, the whole does not quite add up to the sum of its many wonderful parts. But the characters, tone, pace, style and MUSIC of Once Upon A Time do complement each other nicely and make for a very rewarding viewing experience nonetheless. The music is sad and aching, as if it wished for a better world, or perhaps was lamenting the price of progress (the loss of the wild, of innocence and (violently) even an entire family). Ennio's music has little of the "Western" in it, except the harmonica, which is diegetic anyway. Almost a mashup of music from another world, but one that still works. Compare with Butch Cassidy of the same era, an overall better picture, perhaps, whose music also evokes little of the west but has aged horribly.
Well...probably said or at least thought already by the listening/viewing audience: a "strange" style of a Western...but hey - the beginnings of the 1970's showed more of the going away from the 1950's and earlier movies. Why I say "1950's" is a lot of this somewhat bazar music was threading its way through the 1960's. I do not have this soundtrack of Ennio Morricone's...might have been that I couldn't quite see Henry Fonda playing a bad guy or something. I do have the famous "Spaghetti Eastwood" flicks and two others: " The Big Gundown" (1968) and "The Untouchables" which I think is really good. Oh...the only favorite one of this "Once Upon a Time" tunes I like is 'Goodbye, Cheyenne'. Kind-of-cute in style.
you know why most of todays is lousy? nobody takes the time to be passionate about their craft. mr. morricone has spent 90 years honing his craft. and doing it passionately
I would rather listen to this soundtrack than to watch the movie itself. Of course the movie was OK, I guess, but the soundtrack was/is everything in this case. Unlike _The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,_ The movie itself wasn't all that interesting. Only the soundtrack really captures my interest.
The two who disliked this didn't think "You brought two horses too many" was a good line. This score and this film = masterpiece.
Some people just have piss-poor taste in music. What they think is cool is actually what they think OTHERS would think is cool. I call them lemmings, a word I got from William Pierce. They just go along with whatever they think the other lemmings would approve.
A perfect soundtrack to a perfect Western. One of the all-time greatest examples of cinema, and cinema music.
My favorite western of all time. Still no other film in the genre has equalled this.
Edda Dell'Orso best ever...👏🇮🇹
Congratulations to Ennio Morricone who celebs 90 years.
A big genius composer in a song of history best soundtracks.
R.I.P. Ennio.
Your music evokes such imagery and beauty. Your music will remain with us through the ages.
best youtube version i've found-- ennio himself

@@SoundtrackFred Was going to say about Flicka, fortunately I heard it before it was taken down. Great shame.
A beautiful soundtrack. Perhaps the most beautiful of the spaghetti western scores.
Peak Morricone.

There will never be some one like home GOD bless his soul but his music lasts for ever
My parents saw this movie an my mother was heart touched by Jills theme as all of us are. So beautiful. So growing up in 70s sleeping in my dad blasted LPs Once upon west and
Sound of music to get us up out of bed. The Ennio Morricone once upon west LP opens with every song in 1st song. Breath taking beautiful
There is not to much I can say about this score except "Great" from a master musician Ennio Morricone. Thanks Fred for the Excellent upload. Out.
At the beginning, is that ALSO Edda Dell'Orso...? Whoever she is, she makes a beautiful sound. Never mind, I just looked it up, and she is indeed Edda Dell'Orso. I get chills at the sound of her voice. I just can't seem to get enough.

Wow so very amazing
Truly pure sound, tears come to my eyes everytime I Iisten to Ennio's music, don't know why it just touchs something inside?

A true beauty here, Fred. Thank you
Happy Birthday Ennio!
Herzlichen Dank, Soundtrack Fred, dass Du all diese wunderbaren Musikperlen auf Deinem Kanal teilst. Ganz vorzügliche Arbeit. - Danke!
This is the one and I reckon you all know it.
fuck me, that was beautiful
Rest in peace... 💔

LOL The 50's westerns were trash as were their soundtracks.

From 8.30...so beautiful and haunting
Habéis repetido y repetido temas, habéis puesto cortos de paja y habéis omitido el segundo mejor tema después del principal: El de la armónica. '0'..
