He wrote his first concert works at the end of the Fifties, then he worked as arranger for RAI (the Italian public radio and TV) and RCA-Italy, starting his career as film music composer in 1961 with the film “Il Federale” directed by Luciano Salce. He became famous worldwide with Sergio Leone’s westerns: A Fistful Of Dollars (1964), For A Few Dollars More(1965), The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (1966), Once Upon A Time In The West (1968) and A Fistful Of Dynamite (1971). Since 1960, Morricone has scored over 450 films working with numerous international and Italian directors (such as Sergio Leone, Brian De Palma, Giuseppe Tornatore, Roman Polanski, Warren Beatty, Oliver Stone, Bernardo Bertolucci, Pedro Almodovar, Terence Mallick, Roland Joffè, Gillo Pontecorvo, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Adrian Lyne).
