Ennio Morricone's Score

Item from The Dollars Trilogy by Sergio Leone / United Artists

The sound of the Dollars Trilogy — whistles, electric guitar, human voice used as instrument, and a pocket watch melody that rewrites the rules of what a film score can do.

Also known as: Morricone's Score, The Score, The Theme, The Pocket Watch Melody

What They Know

• Morricone sometimes composed the music before filming — Leone edited scenes to the score
• The main theme uses electric guitar, Jew's harp, whistling, and human voice as an instrument
• The pocket watch melody in For a Few Dollars More is the emotional signature of the film
• The GBU final standoff theme plays for nearly three minutes over close-ups before anyone draws
