Ennio Morricone will receive a massive retrospective at @[11279496579:69:MoMA The Museum of Modern Art], from Dec. 1 to Jan. 10. Featured will be 35 films in all genres, including of course a heaping helping of spaghetti westerns. It’s only a mere tip of the cheroot for a composer who wrote hundreds of film and television scores, perhaps more than anyone else. Of particular interest is the inclusion of a rarely-seen German television program featuring Morricone and Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza (“The Group”), an experimental collective of composer-musicians that banded together in Rome in 1964 in a utopian spirit of nonhierarchical improvisation. You’ll find more information at the link. Make plans now to mosey on over to MoMA for a fistful of Morricone.
