Ennio Morricone - Gui La Testa

This is the fifth western in a row for Sergio Leone after the Dollar Trilogy and Once Upon a Time in The West. Gi� la testa (Duck, you sucker, 1971) is also the fifth collaboration between the director and Ennio Morricone, which would be followed by Once Upon a Time in America nearly 15 years later, before Leone's premature death in 1989.

Now a world famous and feted director, Leone directed Gi� la testa an epic film that tells of the friendship between a Mexican bandit and an Irish explosives expert during the 1913 Mexican Revolution. With a over two hours running time, the film has the tones of a Hollywood extravaganza, but it is only occasionally accompanied by Morricone's music, which focuses more on the romance and melancholy triggered by the two protagonist's memories.

This score's main theme is extremely memorable and makes this a classic soundtrack. Thanks to the recurring Sean-Sean tune, and the melody sung by Edda Dell'Orso, a theme that is universally recognized.
