The pipes add the dread to the peice, your supposed to feel uncomfortable when you hear them thats the point, this version is good but lacks the drama the dread the horror of the original, watch the film again and hear the organ feel the drama & terror
"La resa dei conti" is a great phrase. Translated, it means 'the showdown', but taken literally, it means 'the settling of debts', which I think is an appropriate linguistic twist.
One day, I'll travel to Los Albaricoques (the "real" town of Aqua Caliente), stand in the middle of the circle, and then I'll let this masterpiece play with maximum volume. After that, you can shoot me and take me to the next Marshall on your stagecoach, to get the bounty.
Just fyi - the final showdown at the end (LVC vs. Indio in the circle) has the trumpet in the middle, not the organ from the church scene. Morricone (or Leone) indicated the use of a trumpet signified the final battle was at hand, which indeed it was.
@jgraho2 I opened the song in "Cool Edit Pro 2". I removed the part I didn't like, and then I joined together the 2 remaining parts of the song. It's very easy and onyl takes a couple of minutes. You just have to use headphones to be sure the transition flows smoothly.
It's interesting to hear it without the pipes but I would prefer it untouched as Morricone would've had the pipes in there for a reason. I believe that editing another man's work is disrespectful, especially Morricone. A genius.
oh man, yesssss! thank you thank you thank you! ive been looking for a version without the pipe. i listen to this one and still think the pipe organ is gonna sneak up on me. :P ennio morricone is the quintessential masetro.
It sounds so much more natural than the original. I was looking for the movie version without the pipe organ, only to find out that it didnt exist apart from this edit, good job.
@BJHBNE This version does exist in the movie itself - it is the backdrop for the final shootout after Clint appears holding the Colonel's pocket-watch. The pipe organ is gone and a trumpet is inserted, signifying the final moment is at hand. It's a piece of music for the ages!
Looks like nobody likes the pipe organ. I think, if it would have been in the movie version, everybody would love it. But watching the movie and hoping to relive that awesome duel with the soundtrack, but than hearing that pipe organ makes it kinda odd.
I don't know why people don't LOVE the pipe organ, that was the climax of the song where ALL emotions(fear,hatred,love etc) were called upon and the decision was either fight or flight and they chose to fight because they were compelled to do so.
Count me as another who considers you a hero for removing the pipe organ and putting this up. I downloaded it to use as my ringtone, my friends love it and want it too, but that can't have it! Well done, you magnificent bastard!
@HughShower Both versions are used in the movie, inside the church, the pipe organ is intact, in the final showdown at the end, the trumpet is used to signify the final climax is at hand.
one thing you should all remember is that the pipe organ was played when Indio stared that one guy down before he blew him away. it's supposed to be his "theme" in a sense, and I think it nails down his vileness perfectly
There are two kinds of people in the world my friend the ones who really know and the ones who know nothing.
The pipe organ version of this theme is actually an ugly collage made by some ugly RCA executive for the release of the original soundtrack in 1967. The collage version is awful not only because of the pipe organ,which appears in the church scene, but also because the beautiful guitar intro was disgustingly shortened ¡ . I wish you good luck , Adios
I dont know why, but whenever I hear the pipe organ playing in this song, I always visualize someone creepy playing the pipe organ. Try to picture this, in a black & white scene, you see the back of a Frankenstein playing a pipe organ perched up on a platform. Somewhat like an Adams Family show
Thanks for uploading this. WITHOUT the pipe organ definitely sounds better! Weird enough, I have been bugged by the bloody pipe organ. It just feels so out of place. Did they have pipe organs back in the days of those western cowboy era? WTF right? this version sounds creepier.... more intense, like shit is gonna hit the fan any time now!!!
I love this musical theme and the pipe organ always bugged me too now i am not judging morricone or anything the mans a pure genius but i do believe its better without the pipe organ
During the shoot out at the end between the Colonel and Indio, the trumpet was substituted for the pipe organ with very effective results. The pipe organ was utilized in the church scene, but the trumpet signified the final battle was at hand, which indeed it was.
Best film of the three and the best soundtrack. Didn't like Clint killing Van Cleef in TGTBTU, liked it wen they worked together and formed a rapport.
i personally think this is the best movie in the western trilogy. it didn't drag on as much as good, bad and the ugly and i think van cleef was much better as a good guy
You're absolutely right - to me it's the real gem of the 3. It flows smoothly, the uneasy Clint- LVC bond grows throughout the movie, culminating in the great final shootout with Indio.
i prefer it without the organ. the organ just jumps in from nowhere. the trumpet fits much better, makes it more like a traditional western stand-off theme
in the movie both instruments represent something. the organ symbolizes death in the beginning and the trumpet symbolizes redemption and justice in the final scene. i listen to this version all the time. it truly is an inspiration.
This organ wasn't part of this take of the song to begin with, but it was spliced in because it was included in the film in a different scene. I do prefer the editing on this, but the soundtrack should've included both versions instead of shortening them, and editing down to one.
watch the movie multitudinal!!! there is a version with the pipe organ and another without it, both to create a different emotion in the viewer. althought the version with the trumpet is incomplete in the soundtrack, theres a bit of amplified spanish guitar notes that are missing here and in the soundtrack and three trumpet notes.
Thanks, but I am no genius : Ennio Morricone gets all the credit :)
The organ really bugged me, so I tried to remove it, and it made me realize the song was probably intended to be this short, since it perfectly flowed.
I don't think it was intended to be this way, I just think there r 2 versions of the song, the one with the organ and without trumpet, to introduce us to El Indio, and the other one for the final duel... just my thoughts :)
I love this song!
