Ennio Morricone - Once Upon a Time in the West (Once Upon a Time in the West: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (vocals by Edda D’ell Orso)

Sergio Leone and Morricone created a new kind of western and Once Upon a Time in the West is the cinematic and musical apotheosis of their legendary collaboration.

In an unusual but inspired move Leone had Morricone write the score before filming began, and then had the music played on the set, which not only allowed Leone to synchronize camera movements and modulate editing rhythms with the tempo of the music, but also inspired the actors to shape their performances around the rhythms of the score. The result is an unrivalled marriage of music and image.

Perfect score
