Ennio Morricone was an Italian composer born on 10 November 1928 in Rome, Italy, and he passed away on 6 July 2020 in the same city. He was a favourite pupil of a notable figure in music and secretly deputized for his trumpeter father in a light music orchestra. This experience led him to develop two distinct sides to his musical personality: one embracing serialism and the experimental work of an improvisation group, and the other as a leading arranger in various forms of mass-media popular music, including songs for radio, radio and television plays, and successful television variety shows. Morricone gained wider recognition through a series of four Westerns directed by a prominent filmmaker. He collaborated with several notable directors, including Roland Joffé, producing over 400 film scores that showcased a unique fusion of classical and popular idioms.

Among his many accolades, Morricone won the Academy Award in 2016 for his score to Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight and received five Academy Award nominations from 1979 to 2001. He also won a Grammy, a Leone d'oro, and was awarded the Laurea ad Honorem by the University of Cagliari. Between 1991 and 1996, he taught film music at the Accademia Musicale Ch
