The story behind
The piece Cockeye’s Song, part of the Sergio Leone Suite: Once Upon a Time in America, immerses us in a particular sound universe, with a duration of 2 minutes and 13 seconds. This composition, created by Ennio Morricone, evokes atmospheres that intertwine with the imagery of cinema, especially the Spaghetti western genre, where Morricone left a deep mark alongside his colleague Sergio Leone. His work extends to over 500 soundtracks, demonstrating a versatility that ranges from symphonic pieces to themes for award-winning films.
The recording of Cockeye’s Song featured the work of Damiano Antinori and Fabio Venturi as sound engineers, under the production of Ennio Morricone himself. Born in Rome in 1928, Morricone established himself as a benchmark in film music, collaborating on films that marked an era, such as those directed by Sergio Leone in 1964, 1965, 1966, and 1968. His musical legacy also includes notable works for Days of Heaven, The Mission, and Cinema Paradiso.
