Il Grande Silenzio (The Great Silence) - Ennio Morricone

Questa è una colonna sonora praticamente sconosciuta di un bel film completamente fuori dai canoni dei soliti western spaghetti. Una musica che ci porta con l'immaginazione al Grande Nord innevato e gelido. I suoni sono cristallini e puri come note ottenute battendo sulle stalattiti di uno xilofono di ghiaccio. Grande Morricone.
This is a almost completely unknown soundtrack of a good film that is completely out of the usual spaghetti westerns norm. This music accompanies us in imagination to the Great North, snowy and icy. The sounds are crystal clear and pure as the notes obtained by beating up an ice stalactites made xylophone . Great Morricone.

One of the most underrateds (if not the most) themes from the great Morricone... it is damn impressive, period.

[@leobordino]

For me, this was his finest peace. Rest in peace my friend, you earned it.

[@tehpeasant]

This is Morricones most underrated work and also his best.

[@extra2ab]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Deepurplerain]

He has too many bests but another very underrated is U-turn i'd say.

[@Keryha]

"Invito All Amore", one of the best songs ever composed.

[@marcogiacomelli2190]

Hai ragione, non conoscevo questi temi e mi piacciono molto. Scoprire il repertorio del Maestro è come partire per un viaggio infinito.

[@Io-Io-Io]

Around 20: I got overwhelmed by sadness and started crying. This has enormous suggestive power...

[@lacykeszi]

Rest in peace Ennio Morricone (the greatest of all time)

[@TheHassan1414]

Another unforgetable score of Morricone, as the movie is one of the best films of Sergio Corbbuci and among the ten best Spaghetti Western..!

[@christophermacintyre5890]

One of maestro Morricone's greatest scores. I love the wintry tone painting he does. The natural setting really brought out the best in him as a composer.

[@fardelphilippe5991]

Une des toutes plus belles BO de Morricone, vraiment admirable .. et le film frise le génie! ...

[@Elfo_Scuro]

Uno dei più cupi spaghetti western italiani per l'atmosfera si diversifica anche da The Wild Bunch di Peckinpah, per una strada diversa fredda ed oscura...La colonna sonora di Morrricone poi è sublime e toccante.

[@MrLinoventura]

Morricone for ever ! ..pareil pour moi.....pas une semaine sans Ennio M......ça me redonne la pèche ...et ma vie comme un film ...j'ai eu le déclic à 14 ans en 69 avec " il était une fois dans l'Ouest " ....en faisant des courses à Monoprix ! Cela ne m'a plus quitté !

[@clecklass]

Il Grande Silenzio never gets a mention when talking about Morricone's greatest - I don't get it.

[@GMfish]

RIGHT

[@filmnobelpreis]

Because there are like 10 more which are at least as great probably.

[@TheOnlyRiktor]

agreed. there are so many great soundtracks he's produced that never get attention. my best guess is the list is always made by people who only listen to the most popular movie soundtracks and don't ever dig deeper into his older lesser known movies. It's a shame.

[@dougd5496]

Part of the problem is it never got a wide release in the US.

[@jimdiedrick8853]

The Great Silence wasn't as popular as other Spaghetti Westerns so this soundtrack didn't get a fair listen

[@vicenterubiogoterris1350]

I can't understand how this soundtrack is not cited as the best of Morricone. Para mi es de las mejores composiciones de este autor, y especialmente el tema “Invitto all'amore” , uno de mis temas musicales favoritos.

[@rolandh4947]

Absolutely right. I was so much impressed by the beatiful choral theme ...Goosebumps!🙏

[@fabiomecarelli155]

La fantastica colonna sonora di un film bellissimo e, putroppo, sottovalutato!!

[@silviazanicotti5054]

Sottovalutato perché fuori dagli schemi e avanti coi tempi, già nella scelta dei protagonisti, che sembrano usciti dalla penna di Shakespeare. Il "cattivo" Tigrero (Kinski) è un bounty killer che agisce sempre "secondo la legge", per quanto dura ed ingiusta ed il "buono", Silenzio (Trintignant) è invece una sorta di mercenario, sempre ai limiti della legalità. Sono però due antagonisti perfetti: Tigrero è astuto, freddo, avido ed amorale, considera gli esseri umani carne da macello mentre Silenzio è un eroe anomalo, vulnerabile, temibile pistolero, certo, ma anche un uomo menomato (muto fin dall'infanzia da quando gli furono recise le corde vocali, per una truce ritorsione). Entrambi si muovono in un mondo selvaggio ed abbruttito, dove non c'è più posto per bontà e bellezza, il finale tragico, ne è la naturale conseguenza.

[@TheHassan1414]

Yup, you're right! So many of Spaghetti Western movies were unforgetable and hugely entertaining. Actors and directors were good, music backgrounds and pictures were amazing and enjoyable!

[@Messerschmitt07]

Spaghetti Western are the true Western Movies. The Italians taught the Americans to tell something different from the melancholy and childish stories with John Wayne. This is because Italians do not lack true and difficult stories but told with an extremely human and always profound and introspective attitude. It could be said that spaghetti westerns are true and hard stories simply set in an imaginary western that could be the perfect theater to give vent and freedom to the natuira of the protagonists. Obviously I speak of the masterpieces, not the many improvised who climbed into the bandwagon to live in reflected light ...

Best western of all time (Not "Once upon a time in the West" or "High Noon"). No surprise Tarantino used it for Hateful 8.

[@aggohyf]

@@robertcorbell1006 He actually didn't use an original score, The Thing score was originally gonna be orchestral, but John Carpenter wanted it changed to synth as he thought it would fit the tone more.

Maybe you know them but I would suggest Bandolero! 1968, There was a crooked man 1970, Soldier blue 1970, The cowboys 1972, Ulzana's raid 1972, each with a wonderful score (Jerry Goldsmith, Charles Strouse, Roy Budd, John Williams and Frank DeVol). Same period, same pessimism if no evil ending. You may also see Bad company 1972, The Spikes gang 1974, Macho Callahan 1970, The wild rovers 1972 and Monte Walsh 1970 (wonderful score by John Barry)...

[@fooman65]

right on brother

[@iacomastro]

Dicesi "gunfighter" ciò che per decenni è stato definito "pistolero". La Mauser '96 è l'arma usata da Trintignant nel film. Rientra perfettamente nella logica storica del film, ambientato nel 1898, solo due anni dopo la sua realizzazione. (la Regia Marina Italiana la adottò subito, e fu la prima forza armata in assoluto ad averla). Interessante il "prosciutto", la fondina-calciolo in legno.
