Notes on Soundtrack: MARCO POLO (1982) (Part 3)
|
Ennio Morricone: "It was challenging for me to compose such a thick and eclectic score to accompany Marco Polo's journey in the unknown Oriental territories, to the point that I felt compelled to visit those places and grasp their tastes, timbres and sounds.

My favorite, still, after all these years...
| Although I knew Morricone's music superficially before I heard the MARCO POLO soundtrack, hearing this album back in 1982 really changed my life. At that time most music in the concert hall was arid or ugly, and while there were a few wonderful film composers working, there wasn't a lot of orchestral music around which excited me. When I heard MARCO POLO, it stunned me with its long tracks of quiet, elegant, repetitive but slowly developing music. I had never heard anything quite like this: the repetitions of the basic musical unit of "Monica"*with slight variations each time, the langorous string writing where strings sustained above, changing pitch at untraditional times, that wonderful viola solo at the beginning, and the strange way in which Morricone seems to distort our sense of linear time as some of these tracks unfold. Twenty years later, this score still stuns and delights me, and is easily one of my three favorite soundtracks of all time. As a young composer just out of grad school in 1982, hearing MARCO POLO helped change my direction and open my mind to the possibilities of writing expressive music that was still relevant to our time. I am a much better composer today than I would have been without encountering the music of Morricone, and MARCO POLO was the score that fully converted me to a fandom of Morricone which has never faded and which remains undiminished as I grow over, even as I've lost interest in many of the other film composers whose music had so inspired me when I was younger.
