For A Few Dollars More - Music

Music

Ennio Morricone composed the film's soundtrack as he did for A Fistful of Dollars: before production had started, under Leone's explicit direction. In fact Leone often shot to Morricone's music on set. In the United States, Hugo Montenegro released a cover version as did Billy Strange and Leroy Holmes who released a cover version of the soundtrack album with the original American poster art. Maurizio Graf sang a vocal "Occhio Per Occhio"/"Eye For An Eye" to the music of the cue "Sixty Seconds to What" track that did not appear in the film but was released as a tie-in 45rpm record.

Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “As I define it, rock & roll is dead. The attitude isn’t dead, but the music is no longer vital. It doesn’t have the same meaning. The attitude, though, is still very much alive—and it still informs other kinds of music.”
    —David Byrne (b. 1952)

    “Taylor, the Shakespeare of divines.
    His words are music in my ear,”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “O I shall hear skull skull,
    Hear your lame music,
    Believe music rejects undertaking,
    Limps back.”
    —Owen Dodson (b. 1914)
