A comment on Ennio Morricone has died. Parent comment
That makes sense.
Another thing I noticed is that the harmonic and melodic language Morricone's early Italo Western music has striking similarities to instrumental guitar tunes of the 60s by artists like The Shadows (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzgbcyfJgfQ) or Neil LeVang (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir7fjfqzcOM).
Anyway, like most great artists, Morricone borrowed from various sources to create his own unique style. Even Mozart, whose style many people would nowadays describe as very "pure", was accused by contemporary critics of being too eclectic.
