Joan Skyful of stars whole movie is likely bound to be available on youtube...comedy western about bounty hunters, good score, but up against Ennio's big-hitting top 15 western scores its probably on the periphery. Interestingly, there was a 1978 italian tv horror movie called Closed Circuit. As the audience are watching Guiliano Gemma in a gunfight clip (with Ennio's music) from Skyful of stars, when he shoots, someone in the front row dies! Police are baffled, no sign of gunman at the cinema but a bullet hole is found in the cinema screen. The autopsy shows the bullet was from old west colt .45. It gets curiouser... and more die. do check it out.

A SKY FULL OF STARS FOR A ROOF I learn so many things from the FSM board. I thought I knew all of Morricone's westerns, but I was wrong. I have never seen nor heard of the above western. I did find some samples of the score on youtube. Interesting. I wish this western would play on my western channel. It's available on a German Blu-ray, at least it was when I bought it.

I spent a lot of time over the years listening to Morricone soundtracks for westerns I never saw. It's only in recent years that I've managed to track down most non-Leone westerns. The two Ringos, The Mercenary (seen once in the mid 70s, while still at school), even The Big Gundown. Finally catching up with Companeros and The Great Silence, the Blu rays of which landed on my doormat only late last week. These two will be getting a spin tomorrow as a double bill whilst on a day off. The music will of course have a bit more significance whilst watching these than they might have before today...

From today's e-mail (emphasis mine): TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA: LIMITED EDITION (2-CD SET) LLLCD 1526 Music by Ennio Morricone Universal Pictures Film Music Heritage Collection Limited Edition of 3000 Units RETAIL PRICE: $29.98 STARTS SHIPPING JULY 14 Orders start 12 noon (pst) on 7/14 at www.lalalandrecords.com We join the world in mourning the loss of the legendary Ennio Morricone. While initially scheduled as a celebratory release of the film’s 50th Anniversary, it is now our deepest honor to present his TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA as a tribute to his memory and musical legacy. La-La Land Records and Universal Studios proudly present the ninth title within the acclaimed Universal Pictures Film Music Heritage Collection, and the first produced in partnership with Universal Music Special Markets – TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA – 50TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED EDITION, music by Ennio Morricone (THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, THE MISSION, THE UNTOUCHABLES). This deluxe release of Morricone’s original motion picture score to the 1970 big-screen western adventure TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA, starring Clint Eastwood and Shirley MacLaine, and directed by Don Siegel, marks the world premiere of the original film version of the late maestro’s score. Orchestra, organ, guitar and choir meld in strikingly original fashion, expertly heightening, enriching and propelling the film’s varied tones, which weave drama, comedy, history and action against a Western backdrop. Disc One of this presentation showcases the full film score for the first time, including material that went unused in the picture and 37 minutes of previously unreleased music – sourced from three-and-six-track Universal Studios vault elements. Disc Two serves up the 1970 Kapp/MCA soundtrack album, newly remastered from the original ¼’’ analog element provided by Universal Music Group. Produced, mixed, edited and mastered by Mike Matessino, this special limited edition of 3000 units features exclusive liner notes written by journalist/author Jon Burlingame and sharp art direction by Dan Goldwasser. Of the score, the film’s director Don Siegel said, “The music is among the most original and unusual ever written for a film. As far as I was concerned, Morricone was a genius.” We couldn’t agree more.

Nice. Long time coming but sounds worth the wait. Good that Matessino involved. He is always safe hands.

Duello nel Texas (Morricone's first Western score, perhaps his most "classic" Western score, the one Morricone score where the American Western music influence, particularly Tiomkin, is more pronounced than in most of is later western. Even as someone who's not a big Tiomkin fan, I have long thought that Morricone's iconic solo trumpet writing in stuff like the finale of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly was *strongly* influenced by Tiomkin's trumpet writing from The Alamo (one of the Tiomkin scores I do enjoy).

Yavar Oh, yeah, I'm sure Morricone was also otherwise here and there influenced by Tiomkin.

Yet as with Mozart influencing Saint-Saens (or even Tchaikovsky), I find I far prefer the music of the influenced to that of the influencer... Yavar
