Description: Cello arrangement of the theme from Once Upon a Time in America (1984), composed by Ennio Morricone. 🎶 Sheet Music: musicnotes.com/l/zvV8m 🎧 Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/1yByLfxh53OWtdoR7tVNcc?si=Fq7ZKg58TRSj4ajZPHn_MQ Of all the iconic melodies Ennio Morricone created throughout his incredible career, the theme from Once Upon a Time in America stands out to me as one of the most poignant, honest themes ever written. With his recent passing, I found myself thinking about this music and what it represents. A bittersweet, reflective theme for a story told in flashbacks. The final collaboration between Morricone and Sergio Leone, a partnership that defined the Western genre and was cut short by Leone's own passing. A slow-burning score that was unfortunately overlooked in the history of American cinema, but that I wanted to remember today. 🙏 If you'd like to help me make more music like this, you can support the channel on Patreon: patreon.com/nicholasdyee 🎧 Spotify: nicholasdyee.com/spotify 🍏 Apple: nicholasdyee.com/applemusic 📸 Instagram: instagram.com/nicholasdyee 🕊️ Twitter: twitter.com/nicholasdyee 👍 Facebook: facebook.com/nicholasdyee
