    Sad news that possibly the greatest composer of film music died today after complications from a fall

    The scores he created for the spaghetti western trilogy about the man with no name is as close to perfection as you could hope to get

    Ecstasy of gold, classic. Metallica’s intro before entering the stage. Goosebumps.

    Sad news. He used sounds, voice, whistles and bells etc. to make music not just instruments. Brilliant composer.
