EXTASY MORRICONE celebrates the jazz- influenced, psychedelic, progressive and adventurous side of Ennio Morricone's film music from the late 60s to the early 80s through a collection of vocal songs with the unexpected and mesmerizing lyrics by the great Alberto Bevilacqua, Carlo Nistri, Giuseppe Patroni Griffi, Carlo Carunchio, Luciano Lucignani, and Maria Travia.

 

Ennio Morricone is acclaimed as one of the most innovative composers of the twentieth century. He composed music that was commercially accessible to a universal audience without renouncing his experimental or contemporary compositional techniques. His unconventional instrumentation and the use of the human voice as a melodic instrument are integral to his unrelenting determination to find a unique sound for each score.

​

EXTASY MORRICONE is a celebration of his quest for uniqueness.
