Ennio Morricone
Few composers have shaped how a whole century of cinema sounds. Ennio Morricone (1928 to 2020) wrote music for more than five hundred films and television series, from the whistles, twangs and choirs of Sergio Leone's westerns to the long melodic lines of Once Upon a Time in America, Cinema Paradiso and The Mission. He received an honorary Oscar in 2007 and the award for best score in 2016 for The Hateful Eight. Born in Rome to a jazz trumpet player, he began composing at six and studied trumpet and composition at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory under Goffredo Petrassi.
