What is Ennio Morricone's most haunting and saddest score?


Recommended Posts

I really wonder whether there is anything worse than my number one pick:

"La Califfa"

I don't know whether it's healthy to listen to it too often. It takes desperate longing to the extreme and is kind of better suited for Romy Schneider's life than for the movie itself.

"Once Upon a Time in America" and "Il Grande Silencio" also come to mind with the first one's broad wistfulness and with the second's ones deep sadness.

Any thing more there, that I should know?

I’m barely familiar with any of his full scores, mostly individual pieces. “La Califfa” is my favorite melody of his in a sea of timelessly longing ones through his career.

THE CALIFFA is a good one, but as publicist says -- there are dozens of these.

 

If I had to pick just one, I'd maybe pick the rejected WHAT DREAMS MAY COME.
