His prolific output stems from the fact that when it comes to genre he was not particularly picky (although he's best-known for his contribution to the SpaghettiWestern and many collaborations with Creator/SergioLeone). Rather than list people he's influenced, it would just be quicker to list people he hasn't. He's been sampled and covered by artists ranging from Music/JohnZorn to Music/JayZ. Everybody tends to form an orderly line in order to heap superlatives on him.
A lifelong UsefulNotes/{{Rome}} resident and classically trained musician, Morricone began studying at the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia at age 12. Advised to study composition, Morricone also specialized in playing trumpet and supported himself by playing in a jazz band and working as an arranger for Italian radio and TV after he graduated. Morricone subsequently became a top studio arranger at Creator/RCARecords, working with such stars as Mario Lanza and Chet Baker. Well-versed in a variety of musical idiomata from his RCA experience, Morricone began composing film scores in the early '60s. Though his first films were undistinguished, Morricone's arrangement of an American folk song intrigued director (and former schoolmate) Creator/SergioLeone. Leone hired Morricone and together they created a distinctive score to accompany Leone's different version of the Western, ''A Fistful of Dollars'' (1964). Rather than orchestral arrangements of Western standards à la John Ford -- budget strictures limited Morricone's access to a full orchestra regardless -- Morricone used gunshots, cracking whips, voices, Sicilian folk instruments, trumpets, and the new Fender electric guitar to punctuate and comically tweak the action, cluing in the audience to the taciturn man's ironic stance. Though sonically bizarre for a movie score, Morricone's music was viscerally true to Leone's vision. As memorable as Leone's close-ups, harsh violence, and black comedy, Morricone's work helped to expand the musical possibilities of film scoring.
