RIP Ennio Morricone

[DataDan]

OK, this is a bit obscure for a Sink RIP thread, but he composed the music for Sergio Leone's "spaghetti westerns", not to mention winning an Oscar for the soundtrack to Tarantino's Hateful Eight. On Saturday I came across some performances of his music on YouTube that I really liked, then today I saw the news of his passing at age 91.

RIP, Signor Morricone.

The first video is of the Hateful Eight recording at Abbey Road Studios, Morricone conducting, Tarantino looking on. The rest are superb performances by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.
