Ennio Morricone was an Italian composer known for his fusion of classical and popular music. Born in Rome in 1928, he developed a diverse musical personality, embracing both serialism and experimental improvisation. He gained recognition through collaborations with renowned directors such as Sergio Leone and Quentin Tarantino. In addition to his iconic film scores, Morricone's non-film works have been widely performed and showcase his unique compositional techniques. His numerous accolades include an Academy Award, Grammy, and Leone d'oro.
Morricone's career began with minor cinematic collaborations but skyrocketed with Sergio Leone's Westerns. He went on to work with esteemed directors like Giuseppe Tornatore, Brian De Palma, Roland Joffé, and Pedro Almodóvar. With over 400 film scores to his name, Morricone masterfully blended classical and popular idioms.
In addition to his film compositions, Morricone created non-film works that showcased his technique of 'micro-cells'. These pieces often incorporated modal and tonal allusions while maintaining a pseudo-serial approach. His innovative use of composition materials extended beyond the realm of cinema.

In his long and successful career, Ennio Morricone composed many dance songs as it was in fashion in the late sixties and early seventies. Themes that were usually not directly connected with the subjects of the soundtrack but were played in disco clubs, on jukeboxes, turntables, and on the radio. This collection contains a selection of very cool pieces such as the brilliant main theme from GRAND SLAM (1967), the shake rock (opening credits) from Dario Argento's classic FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET (1971), the danceable from the noir film VIOLENT CITY (1970), the beat version of the opening credits of "Pioggia sul tuo viso" by The Sorrows, from HOW I LEARNED TO LOVE WOMEN (1966), "Per Vittorio (Bossa)" elegant bossa nova with flute and percussions from THE SUCCESS (1963), the tribal shake from I Cantori Moderni which winks at the Dies Irae from GARDEN OF DELIGHTS (1967), "Scuola di ballo al sole" a wild surf piece from THE HAWKS AND THE SPARROWS (1966), the supreme bossa nova from ONE NIGHT AT DINNER (1969) with the super iconic voice of Edda Dell'Orso, the shake music of "Ostinazione al limone" from WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE? (1972), "Donnabossa" from FULL HEARTS AND EMPTY POCKETS (1964), a delicate bossa nova with a prominent harpsichord.
