R.I.P. Ennio.
This is a sad day.
I discovered his music in 1968 and have been a fan ever since.
I was fortunate to have sen him live on stage conducting two concerts.
He will be missed, but his music will live for ever.
I'm now listening to The Mission, it seems appropriate.

Oh god. I was dreading this day.
While Ennio kept going...it kinda felt reassuring.
The world is making me depressed enough...and now this?? 
What a thing to wake up to.
Almost the Last of the Titans.
His music, his reach, his influence, spread far and wide. Its been a big thing in my life, all through my life. Most of all, im thankful for the joy his music has given me.
Thank you. To the man even other maestros called Maestro. You may have passed but your work lives on.

This sucks, I was just working with some Ennio Morricone music when I read this.
Farewell Maestro and thank you for the great, great music.

From the Italian newspaper Repubblica (roughly and hastily translated):
The maestro was awake and present until the very last moment, the last things he did were to say goodbye to his beloved wife Maria, who dedicated her life to him both as a man and an artist, and also thanked sons and grandsons for the love and care lavished on him. He also sent a heartfelt thought to his public, from whose affection he always got great strength and support for his artistic creativity.
I guess we can get some consolation from the fact that the Maestro departed with dignity, but I feel gutted anyway...He was a cultural staple WAY before I was born (and I'm not young)....I pretty much thought he was going to be with us forever.
It sounds as if he was reconciled with his spiritual beliefs, which should be a consolation for us all regardless of whether we share them. If anything could make me accept the existence of a higher power, it’s Ennio Morricone’s music. I’m selfishly terribly sad but thankful for his life and for his career, which is unique and in all likelihood immortal. Grazie mille, Maestro.
