Ennio Morricone

[Hank]

Here's a link to an Ennio Morricone number.
As some of the Youtube comments note, this differs a bit from the original (and the original is much better)...
However, what with the gorgeous melodys and rhythms and the whacky vocals, I felt this could have come from the Butch Cassidy score.
Do other Burt fans share a love of Morricone ?

That's some beautiful music there. And, yes, I am a big fan of Morricone's. I recognized his brilliance as a composer years ago. He writes great original music all the time that makes you really take notice. As far as I'm concerned, he's in the first rank of composers. He never gives us standard, run-of-the-mill compositions. And, yes, you're right, some of this music could have come from the Butch Cassidy score. I have no doubt that he's a fan of Burt's and has followed his career very well. (And I have no doubt that Burt is a fan of Ennio's as well.) Not to be picky, but I wish Burt had done more movie scores, because, of course, all his scores have been just brilliant.
