Ennio Morricone:
"I wrote the themes in New York, in constant contact with the director." (2CD booklet, page 6)
About the "Victorious" piece (1/08 and 2/06 on 2CD):
"When I got back to Italy, De Palma asked me for one more theme ('Victorious'). This proved to be some undertaking: I wrote nine versions before the director was satisfied. Even though I told him that of all the nine, number six was the one I liked the least, that was the one he chose! It was a simple piece with a joyous and triumphal-sounding orchestration. I couldn't say whether he made the wrong decision or whether he managed to see something that escaped me, perhaps because I was too emotionally involved in the work." (page 7)
