In continuation of the discussion on a blog that should be in the Music forum, I was doing some YouTube'ing lately, searching in vain for video clips featuring my current favorite piece of music (Ralph Vaughan Williams Symphony No. 2, movement 2), and then decided to see what new Morricone was on there. I've summed up my findings in the Morricone section of the music-favorites page on my website.

Linz and Daniel W. should love the video clip featuring "Love in the Morning".

Still no fully satisfactory full version of "The Legend of the Pianist" (Morricone's best work, IMO) yet on YouTube, but the Warsaw rendition gives you a rough approximation of the whole thing. The original soundtrack version contains much better, polished trumpet and piano solos during the opening and closing segments.

In the Casualties of War suite, there is a segment which I really like a lot, from about 3:50 to about 4:25; the only way I know that you can obtain this in recorded form is to get a hold of the out-of-print soundtrack, if you can.

Movie enthusiasts should already well be familiar with the Once Upon a Time... themes.

The video for Malena is an example of how some Morricone music, when set to certain visual or narrative themes, can make me weepy. Another notorious instance of such is the first use of "Deborah's Theme" early on in its film; its use in the montage of 9/11 clips hits close to the mark as well. And then there's "Playing Love" in the context of its scene from Legend of 1900.
