Product Description
Amazon.com essential recording
One of the most lyrical Western movie scores from one of the all-time greatest movie Westerns. Unlike the slightly more cartoonish music (in the Raymond Scott sense) for Sergio Leone's earlier "Man with No Name" Westerns starring Clint Eastwood (Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly), Once upon a Time in the West is epic in scope and elegiac in tone. Composer Ennio Morricone uses a haunting, wordless female vocal on the main theme (and in the equally beautiful soundtrack for Leone's companion gangster epic, Once upon a Time in America, many years later) that sends chills down your spine and may even bring tears to your eyes. --Jim Emerson

ANOTHER MORRICONE MASTERPIECE,
By D. McAllister "MRD" (Somewhere in the Field) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Once Upon a Time in the West: the Original Soundtrack Recording (Audio CD)
As with all soundtracks by Ennio Morricone such as THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY and A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST is simply masterful.The hallmark of any Morricone soundtrack is his use of the human voice as a non-vocal instrument. ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST is no exception. This soundtrack is a terrific addition to any classic soundtrack collection. And it matters little whether you are a fan of the movie or not or whether you are a fan of westerns or not. The musical quality of ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST stands on its own.

Someone wrote before me: "a haunting, wordless female vocal on the main theme that sends chills down your spine and may even bring tears to your eyes."I couldn't agree more regarding the chill and tears. I have tears in my eyes each time I listen and there is NO movie so far that brought to life the true drama of the Wild West in more vivid way. This music will stop you from doing whatever you are doing, forcing you to really really listen. I can't believe that they didn't give Morricone an Oscar for this - what a shame!!!!
