ENNIO MORRICONE -"Il Tramonto (The Sundown)" (1966)

[MrRoGill]

@Natejitsu Although this movie also features a desert scene, with a haunting piano score, one wonders what Ennio would have done with any of the many desert scenes in Lawrence of Arabia. The score which accompanies the desert scene with Tuco and Blondie, fits perfectly with the desolate expanse of this sea of sand, note by note. Really makes you feel the heat, the thirst, and the exhaustion endured by Blondie. What a musician! What a director! What a grand movie!

[praetorianus72]

Morricone is as good as Mozart, but so different

[Turbaciones]

Sometimes the time comes out and you feel your mind floating nowhere... like now.

[vnuwaifo]

Film music rarely gets much better than this, one of the greatest pieces of film music ever. Totally out of this world

[davidson2004fatboy]

What a powerful song, fitting for one of the greatest movies ever made!!!

[tweakiepop]

Aaah ...Angel Eyes

[MrRoGill]

@DimebagVision Why? Because this track only accompanies the sequence which introduces us to Lee Van Cleef as the sadistic killer Angel Eyes. Once he dismounts and walks towards the camera with his distinctive facial features ending up in that dramatic profile close up, then that exterior shot comes to an end in time with the music.  Music same length as the sequence.

[Amonthered]

lee was an awesome bad guy he should have been in a few more like this one

[roaringrockets]

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed, and through the genius of Morricone and Leone it introduces the film's most evil character!

[MrRoGill]

A tune as atmospheric as the sequence it appears in. The introduction of Angel eyes to the movie in this scene is simply awesome and one of my favourite moments. Morricone makes that acoustic guitar weep, just like his other acoustic piece heard later in the movie when Tuco meets his brother Pablito. What a composer! To give instruments so much soul and depth is the mark of a genius. Ennio paints pictures with his unique sounds and I doubt if we'll ever see another composer like him!!

[Natejitsu]

@MrRoGill I agree. This haunting theme when Angel Eyes rides in with the backdrop of the empty American frontier is just magnificent. It reminds me somewhat of the scene from Lawrence of Arabia, just much much darker.

[bloodbonder4N631]

Loved this in Kill Bill. the Bride: "How did you find me?" Bill: "I'm the man."

[xXxDETESTxXx]

super music. i wish i was ennio morricone, and i had written this piece. but alas, iam not, and i am shit at playing the guitar.

[MrE5785]

wow i could actually listen to this forever, on my 23rd play..today

[DimebagVision]

The one thing i hate about this song is that it's only 1 minute and 16 seconds long. WHY?!?!?!

[johnnyray1717]

Spaghetti westerns are the best. The quality and the way they're filmed, it's almost like the camera man was really back at that time. You can't get any better than that. True Masterpieces!

[luigibattista10]

Ennio is the man.

[joeyg629]

whats the key of that last part. i cant figure it out. Specifically 0:50 nd on

[sliderman7]

@joeyg629 Its stays in the same key (D) and plays A D Gs on what sounds like open strings to me.

[landfill2]

this scene goes great with both films "Good,Bad, and the Ugly" and Kill Bill vol.2 (the beginning scene where Bill finds her at the chapel.

[tasmwill]

A good, a bad and an ugly person did not like this video

[borneo230]

Now this is epic, a time of endless adventures and breathtaking melody, will my generation ever live to see such perfection again? Sadly but i think not..

[LTGenJBHood]

I think you mean Jonah Hex he has twin gatling guns to his horse Its originally a comic book that made its way onto movies

[LTGenJBHood]

I think you mean Jonah Hex he has twin gatlin guns to his horse

[J5schn1tz]

Ennio Morricone is a Legend

[MadAnthonyI]

@J5schn1tz I've realy been diggin' on a lot of Ennio lately.

[judgeman090]

anyone heard of the newest westrn film? i forgot the name but in the film there is a horse with gatling guns attacthed 2 it WTF? man leave westerns alone, every film nowdays is just fuked up

[GIOVANIPICCIOTTI1]

morricone leggenda leone imperatore

[BradBrassman]

As soon as you see him appear through the heat haze on that high stepping Morgan, you just know someone's going to die.

[gorilla12d3]

Both bleak and beautiful. Seriously, 1:16seconds of this or 3:30seconds of top 40 bullshit?

[009ijn]

@gorilla12d3 I AGREE WITH I ONLY HEAR THIS FOR 1-16 ITS BEAUTIFUL

[009ijn]

great music

[unionofonion]

The gritty and ugly-mugged face views these spaghetti westerns use give it a rustic and great quality you can't get in any other type of film.

The music just makes it even better.

[El23edvin]

i wonder if actors like Lee Van Cleef and Clint Eastwood will born again in this planet...

[RulerL0rd]

@El23edvin No Never, actors like these exist only once

[TheSimon67]

angeleyes

[aouss]

where are all the good movies and actors these days ? we had enough shit... seriously

[PAPDOG1973]

they don't write them like this anymore....

chilling - 11/10

[MrSwanley]

@PAPDOG1973 To be fair, most movies made back then were shit too. Just every now and then among all the turds you find a jewel - and this movie stood way apart from the crowd even then. It's simply in a different class.

[Chubcatcher]

45 years is a raindrop in a storm,450 years will be the true test.Could this fantastic music be a bach of future generations?Time will tell but sadly we wont know.

[mrgpn1]

the g b & u the only a good film ever made in the world.

[fgfk123]

Thanks for uploading! When in the film appears this music?

[zetacane]

@fgfk123 at start,when lee van cliff go in white house where is man woman and children with a mule,excuseme for my english

[fgfk123]

@zetacane thanks

my english isn't best as well I'm afraid

[kurzi765]

ich mag das und ich werde besser

[adithyakiran16]

Time to watch The good, the bad and the ugly again...

[Gruenkreuz100]

sergio leone + ennio morricone > steven spielberg + john williams

[vfloresr]

TRE-MEN-DO!

[centurion869]

How did the Italians make better westerns than the Americans????

[fatobranchi]

@centurion869 SERGIO LEONE MADE ! He was Great ... Thank You

[Crow010101]

@centurion869 Because, maybe, americans aren't the kings of the world as they think they are.

[PapaLuigi3000]

@centurion869 Because the American film industry is formulaic and factory made. Foreign films have a sense of humanity that American films lack. That's my view anyway.

That, and Sergio Leone is a brilliant director.

[1poiuztrewq2]

@centurion869

What kinda dumb question is that? Because mostly Americans suck at what they do?

[WatfuernLoco]

Just fantastic!!!

The only bad .... its very short!!!!

[poomplexsoljah]

Lee Van Cleef Angel Eyes #FTW

[EvilToeJam]

For those familiar with this movie, the "devil in the doorway" scene, the long shot down the hacienda hallway with the doorway framing Lee Van Cleef, is a beautiful shot and would make an incredible poster.

[harrybo76]

Those eyes man, cold as hell! 

[nerovsdante911]

i will have a double western cheeseburger in honor of this song

[TOHOFIEND54]

@nerovsdante911 eat some spaghetti

[sallmsallm]

god ples you lee van clef you are best westren man for ever

[catinthehatguitar]

best movie ever made.

[hydrknnrsln]

f.cking great!

[TheHassan1414]

Yes, this piece of music.. I don't know but takes my imagination into beyond unknown beautiful world.. Thanks Ennio & Sergio!!

[emanuelev1987]

da far venire i brividi..

[Gearsome]

Listening to this to get extra hyped for Red Dead Redemption.

I love anything western, the "Once Upon a Time in the West" poster in my room attests to that :)

[bleedinggshadows]

Ennio is GOD

[alebal74]

semplicemente unico

[awesomecaz]

Ennio Morricone is quite possibly the greatest composer ever

[bommin13]

che musica spettacolare

[maizzago]

I feel myself near to God. Thank you, Ennio.

[ravl11]

EL MALO

[ensolnatural]

I've tried to put the tabs, but it wouldn't post,

I guess its youtube's policy or something.

[PICLex]

@ensolnatural

Please share! Somehow. Send me a msg :))

[kaskitooo]

this amazing music also appears in KILL BILL, when bill meets Beatrix kido in the church... awesome...: :)) Ennio is a genius

[L30nidas]

whoa! That's a great scene, man!

[BTT125]

@kaskitooo

Well, I wouldn`t compare kill bill with Moricone movies... Tarantino is an idiot.

[James1803]

@BTT125

Oh my I have to ask why?

[mariano1386]

fucking awesome

[musictranscription]

Do you want me to transcribe it?

[mmcgarrett48]

This beautifully haunting piece of music, "Il Tramonto" by Ennio Morricone is a genuine classic from the excellent movie, "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly". I have listened to this music thousands of times. I hope to hear it a million times more. Many thanks to "MorriconeRocks" for posting it to YouTube.

[johnnycabot]

Another solid post.

Morricone's (and Leone's) ability is take simple tunes and make them seem extraordinarily badass is/was amazing.

[TheSimon67]

god bless you lee

[dehchoman]

the best ever

[3umutbaba1]

Viva la mexico !!!

[badphish911]

TOO beautiful!

This one- (like many of Ennios) - requires more than just ears to hear it!

[mojochessclassics]

spot on, heres a man or woman with sense

[miland78bgsr]

Anyone has a guitar tab for this awesome instrumental?

[Gargansieber]

BI 78 10 87

GI 9  979

It is based on this scale and the ending sounds like tritones, sorry I don't have the specifics.

[Levente20]

....and louis bacalov

[Dakamum]

Ennio Moricone... The man behind the music.

[railman01]

One of the most exquisite pieces of music i have ever heard in my entire life. Great scene in the GTB&TU that goes with this masterpiece with the late great Lee van cleef approaching his victims home from afar. They just dont make them like this anymore.

[haririenator]

EXQUISITE would be the right word to describe it...am getting goosebumps as am listening to it...

[glvfan]

@railman01 well said amigo

[SvenJunior]

The Ugly...

[rogelio67]

angel eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[1mikethebuilder1]

Awesome tune. We need the video in the movie where this particular part takes place to go along with it. Long live spaghetti westerns!

[cloudidogz]

My favorite piece along with Ecstasy of Gold in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

[elbrayon09]

Even Tarantino ripped this foe kill bill!! Ha!!

[nivola1969]

Right!!!

[FURIOJUNTA]

Nearly 45 years on.....and still breathtaking....

[NDStylee]

I reckon!!! I love this song!!!

[stigjig]

lee van cleef R.I.P.

[MrsLucasNorth]

Spectacular!

[Souferaa]

LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!

[mmondoux]

this song also appears in kill bill. not sure where the song appears in the film but I know it's on the volume 2 soundtrack as "Il Tramonto" by Ennio Morricone

[martinjvp]

It's the scene where Beatrix steps outside the church and finds Bill. That scene made me want to look up this music.

[chirp420]

who's beatrix?????????

[martinjvp]

Beatrix Kiddo is the name of the bride. They reveal that in volume 2.

[chirp420]

is that the name the bleep out in the first movie?

[martinjvp]

Yup! I didn't catch it the first time I watched volume 2 and kept thinking Bill was calling her "Kiddo" as a nickname.

[KleineHansel]

Amazing music. This was used only as the introduction of the Angel Eyes - character in the film.

[budproductions117]

Beautiful!

[giuliettomane]

musica eterna!

[Nightowl358]

Lee Van Cleef is such a badass.

[Kukekaos]

Hi, nice upload!

But!!!!

The spanish title of the film is the same as in Argentina. The one you added to Spain is indeed in Catalonian.

;)

[ndnsoldierboy]

[makisar06]

[valsawolverine]

OUTSTANDING - thank you for this!! I can't wait to watch other videos on your youtube here, you have MORE than good taste!! Thx again, Valerie

[blueaxial]

this song is so intense

[dylanc074]

Thanks for uploading this! This is the most haunting and memorable (in my opinion) scene in the movie. The shift between soft and subtle and then the crecendo at the end. Priceless!

[sadiqabdi9]

lee van cleef angel eyes.rip.

[Mizzaninas1]

[Robards18]
