Morricone is best known for the characteristic sparse and memorable soundtracks. He is best known for his film scores for Westerns, though he has made notable compositions for other films including The Mission, The Untouchables, Cinema Paradiso, Lolita and Malèna. This book investigates Morricone´s imposing production, including his less known works, from his debut during the sixties up to now. Each section is introduced by an explanatory text written by the composer or by the film director, complete with many images taken from masterpieces by Sergio Leone, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Brian de Palma, Roman Polanski and many others. A second section is dedicated to the soundtracks Morricone composed for television, for series such as Mose, marco Polo, up to the recent Giovanni Falcone.
