YES! The music matches the screenplay so well, and is so thematic. ENNIO puts you right there. It takes an entire movie to get to the final DUEL in this movie. And in that scene, the music awakens your every fibre of thought, mood, emotion.. It is a MASTERPIECE !

@allenhoward758

@w9gb

Funny thing about Ennio Morricone’s music ... appreciation of the work ages like a good wine.
He did music for Mission to Mars (2000), which is the film’s redeeming quality given a mediocre script and original director walking out.

@MrLhs66

The movie and score was a masterpiece tribute to the old west. And golden boy Henry Fonda as one of the movie screens most despicable villains. “You brought two to many” amazingly gifted orchestra to replicate these scores with such accuracy

@w9gb

I will have to find the Henry Fonda interview, where he discussed his casting in this film. Director wanted the villain to have piercing blue eyes (Fonda trademark).
It was one of the few roles where he got to play a true villain — of course his son Peter was filming “Easy Rider” in this same time period.

@sallyswanson6340

Maestro Morricone definitely takes us to another time, another place. It's somewhere we've never been before but would like to revisit. The evidence of greatness is if an artist can move you deeply and change your perspective from apathy to vibrancy. Maestro Morricone does that without trying. This is not a labor of love by him, but pure love that flows from him. Thank you, sir. RIP in the arms of the Lord.

This orchestra is not afraid to use alternate or lesser know instruments in order to achieve the sound they deem necessary. All of their conductors are phenomenal, but this young lady here is fearless when it comes to alternate sounds. The chorus is superb, the instrumentalists are just off the charts great, and Tuva is. . . .Tuva. How can one even describe her; I have no idea why she is not better recognized, considering what she does and how she does it. Actually, that goes for the entire group; they’re all superb. I just love this orchestra and am in absolute awe of each and everyone of them. Humongous thumbs up!

@samuelbhend2521

It's the original instumentation which the italian composer (Ennio Morricone, 1928-2020) wrote it for. In the early 60's, he was the first one who started to use "weird" instruments and mouth-made sounds with the film-orchestra. Others later copied that idea from him!

@randallbokma2619

I just watched the special features on the Blu-ray and there is a part where they talk about how Leone and Morricone had written all the music before any of the film was shot. So Leone was absolutely filming with this music in his head and knowing how he would cut the footage to go with it. Incredible results

Que de beauté : l’orchestre, les choristes, les femmes et la musique d’Ennio Morricone gravée à jamais dans l’intemporalité. Merci Ennio pour ces cadeaux fait à l’humanité.

@richardtitzmann3217

This song reminds me of my life, the tender years, happy times, sad times and life in general🙏❤

@الفقيرالىالله-ه1خ

The Danish National Symphony Orchestra was considered the first in the world. The maestro is creative and amazing, as is the entire band. I love them all and thank you all. A thousand thanks and thanks to the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.

@Wo1fLarsen

Very emotional for me. These Morricone compositions are tied in my heart to my dearly departed father. God bless him for introducing me to such classic films and scores.❤

@AnnaSchoneveld

Music always brings back those dear memories.

@WalkaCrookedLine

The same. Back in the 1970s Mom would get stir crazy and insist on getting out of the house to go somewhere, anywhere. So we would pile into the family car, 2 parents, 3 boys, 2 cats, and go to the drive in theater. Dad usually picked the movie, which meant Eastwood, spaghetti Westerns at first, later on Dirty Harry. On the rare occasions Mom got to choose it would be Hitchcock. I still remember how our male Persian would hold the movie hostage by yowling loud enough to drown out the speaker until someone fed him popcorn.

@georgecarini345

My Dad who also has passed on really love the music from Once Upon a Time in the West. I really miss him. He was a beautiful man.

@effentjes

Same here.

@rbcoysspursforlife3697

As I watch this today I am weeping for the passing of Morricone, for the actors in the film who left us, for my own family of whom I am the last, and for myself.

@chrismatecki9469

Morricone's pieces are so haunting, so cosmic, you just close your eyes and you start moving to other times and memories.....Brilliant!

@chenjdw

The music behind the BEST American Western movie ever made. The music reverberates, elevates, and immortalizes each key scene and the characters in it against a savage West where greed, revenge, violence, and quick death are the norm. The combination was unprecedented, and after nearly 60 years, the vision is still unsurpassed.

@neebs929

It is well said. Accurate. Good day.

@rolandlastname5532

This not really an entirely american western movie, though. Lots of Italian talent, aka foreign, style much different from John Wayne and Hollywood. Wikipedia says that it has lots of references to american westerns :-) But certainly one of the BEST movies and BEST music indeed!

@chenjdw

It was an Italian production, influenced and inspired by the all-pervasive American culture. The movie in turn influenced and inspired American filmmakers to come up with great and memorable movies like The Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Unforgiven where the good, the bad, and the ugly all had stories worthy of telling and knowing.

@edwardsieferman1205

It transcends genres, which I think many great works of art do. To my mind, it's a Wagnerian opera, complete with leitmotifs for each of the principal characters. And casting Henry Fonda as the BAD guy? GENIUS.

@gerrymurphy4421

Actually, although the frontier could be brutal the excessive violence is a figment of the truth. Dime novels created the notion that the west was lawless which was propagated by western films. Most settlers were relatively religious folk who sought new beginnings and opportunities in life. The violence occurred but was rare.

@jota3732

As a child I loved this music , I had Gabriel’s oboe playing at our wedding when my wife walked towards me . I wanted once upon a time in the west but my wife said it was to emotional . I will have it played at my funeral as the last song in my life . Thank you Mr Morricone 🙏

@juliabergeron1

In my will, I will specify that the theme of "Once Upon a Time in the West" plays at my funeral. It is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard.

@juliabergeron1

actually, philippe said that...

@larrymysliwiec6301

I told my wife the same....please play at my funeral.

@andrewtoeman282

Possibly the best music ever composed for a western , brilliant and heart breaking together.

@neebsmcneebs9697

So, how many emotions will your soundtrack evoke?

Ennio: Yes.

@EnoVarma

What do you mean "possibly"?

@charleshemphill6923

Humanity as a whole best achievement has been it's ability to create music like this.

@steveharris3068

How could anyone vote thumbs down on this?? This is a brilliant piece. A real symphony orchestra gem. Excellent and haunting. Commemorates one of the best Westerns ever.

@goldendreams3437

What about the Wild Bunch!?

It doesn't matter how great something is, there is always a turd in his mothers basement somewhere to vote it thumbs down.

@rosieosho

I’m so happy for the wa wa woman finally getting a chance to show off her AMAZING voice

@gnawershreth

lol Her name is Tuva Semmingsen, not "Wa wa woman" ;D

You should listen to their "Kill Bill: Bang Bang My Baby Shot me Down", she sings in that one as well. :)

@windsong1a

Soprano Tuva was good ....but octave lower than the original who was better.

I hope Ennio had the opportunity to watch this before dying. His pieces played by the Danish Orchestra are simply fabulous and the greatest honnor that can be made to these awesome creations.

@terrywillis1446

At 75 years of age I have seen " Once upon a Time in the West" many...many times since its first release. Just listening to the music I can picture in my mind every movie scene of this movie. One of the very best westerns ever made. Bar none!!

@markedwards7721

I love it when you can tell the musicians are enjoying it as much as the audience does.

@AusMiner

I never get tired of watching these clips by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra. Easily and by far and away the best renditions of Morricone's music that I have ever heard.

@ramondelosreyes3056

Wow, a Danish orchestra, music by an Italian, a Japanese conductor, talk about everyone getting together to play magical music, wonderful ❤

@gregcoleman6670

I came straight back here after hearing the sad news. RIP Ennio. Thank you for the masterful music you leave with us.

@kesharisuthar3268

This is October 2024 & this recreation of the original by late legendary ENNIO MORRICONE'S iconic, timeless & classic score by Danish National Symphony Orchestra led by Sarah Hicks continues to be exceedingly electrifying, enormously exciting, exceptionally enthralling, excellently entertaining and exquisitely expressive even today. Vocals by Tuva Semmingsen are soulful, spellbinding and superb.Their recreation is marvellously melodious, magnificently memorable, magically momentous and mesmerisingly masterpiece. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

How many thought Sarah could have also played another part in creating this masterpiece. I use to play this over and over so often after the movie came out that members in my unit would chime in and all I needed were my two hands and a deep breath.

This orchestra is brilliant you can hardly tell their music from the originals. The harmonica theme sends a chill down my spine, while jills theme brings me close to tears. Well done to the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, I like everything you do. I hope one day I'll get to see you live.
