Ennio Morricone was a prolific Italian composer, with 540 credits to his name. He is best know for his iconic theme to The Good the Bad and the Ugly (1966), which helped define the spaghetti western genre. Besides his work in The Man With No Name trilogy, he also composed the score for Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), the Thing (1982), the Untouchables (1987) and more recently he composed the score for Quentin Tarantino’s, The Hateful Eight (2015). His inventive use of non traditional “instruments” (due to budget restraints) shaped the mood of the dollar trilogy, giving it the atmosphere we all know so well. He died at the age of 91 in the town in which he was born, Rome, Lazio, Italy
