Morricone composes symphonies for kino

Nah zimmer doesn't even come close to the likes of Herrmann, Morricone and Bernie have always been tied at the top for me, all subjective though. I just personally believe that, Herrmann especially has a much more creative use of melody and instrumentation, always alluding to more than just the same repetitive strings that the likes of Zimmer puts out, see Taxi Driver for example, the music makes it all go way deeper

Out of the normie composers
John Powell > John Williams > Hanz Zimmer > Alan Silvestri > John Murphy > James Horner (cos he's dead)

If Horner was alive I'd put him between Powell and Williams.

Poledouris is underrated and i'm sad he never got to do more epic scores and instead worked for shitty seagal flicks.

who is Thomas Newman?

Morricone is the Zimmer of spaghetti Westerns.

Am i too modern and intellectual for you plebs?

>>74934202
This. John Powell's scores are more memorable than any of the normie composers bar maybe John Williams and John Williams has golden age Spielberg armour fortifying his work.

If anybody here actually thinks that Hans Zimmer or John Williams are better composers then they need to fuck off with their normie shit, no joke.

sorry but this is generic as fuck

>>74934320
Still less generic than Zimmer.

Zimmer has a lot of good movies under his belt, his scores are good enough to enhance any project he's working on (making him a great composer for film)
but, they stand less on their own.

Lalo Schifrin

Morricone is one of the best, but I'll just take this opportunity to post some cool 70's soundtrack music

David Shire - The Taking of Pelham One Two Three https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84e64g1ZMw
Michael Small - Klute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2HAFri7m4k
Jerry Goldsmith - Chinatown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsQC4HPruDQ
Krzysztof Penderecki - Polymorphia from The Exorcist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mYFKJBgxbM

>>74934104
Morricone is ok. He was working with what he had, which often wasn't much. Guitar, whistling, etc. very cheap things he could do himself in the studio.

Bernard Herrmann and Jerry Goldsmith are more our shit. Lalo Schifrin too

>>74934523
watch op's video, its clearly not just guitar and whistling.

John Carpenter.

>>74934221
>Everybody ignoring this post
Watch more movies than the Dollars trilogy you plebs.

Man, Morricone is great but I wish more people knew about Alessandroni

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG0Jof6X19s

>>74934104
Yes

Morricone is so great, his stuff for Danger: Diabolik should be celebrated here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdKsrotr6PU

>>74934569
no shit. I've seen a lot of sergio leone films and heard a lot of morricone scores.
You'd be surprised how often he strips it back to a few instruments though.

Notice how OPs video is the main theme, and likely a specially made version for the concert hall, including soloist and choir. The actual score of the film is much more sparse, often as little as a single harmonica (obviously for the harmonica guy).

Silence is morricones greatest tool and he uses is often

also worth noting Morricone played trumpet on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHpumFSr6t8

>>74934702
This film is one of the greatest things to come out of the Italian sixties

>>74934104
Morricone is an absolute legend and a great composer, but he's a small fish compared to for example the Eastern European greats (like Zbigniew Preisner (Dekalog), Zdenek Liska (The Cremator), Mihaly Vig (Werckmeister Harmonies), and Lubos Fiser (Valerie and her Week of Wonders).

Great picks.

Hans Zimmer usually puts out generic bombast and other times he actually tries and creates something beautiful. Still don't care for his bombastic stuff, though.

I like Ifukube despite his recycled themes. Morricone's work is top tier though

>>74934104
Man i watched some old Russian film which had a Shostakovich soundtrack, that was top tier.
