Main theme for the 1986 film The Mission, "Gabriel's Oboe" was written by Italian composer Ennio Morricone. Vocalist Sarah Brightman's song "Nella Fantasia" is set to the melody. This beautiful duet is adapted from cellist Yo-Yo Ma's rendition in his album Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone.

This arrangement for cello and piano was based on the recording of 'Yo Yo Ma plays Morricone'.

We made this arrangement based on the solo and interpretation of the prestigious cellist YO YO MA. We hope you like it.

Often attributed to Ennio Morricone who arranged all and composed the rest of the soundtracks of the film Cinema Paradiso, the Love Theme is a work by Andrea Morricone, Ennio's son. The melody of the movie track has become the music for two songs: Se in Italian and Remember in English.

This arrangement for the trio is inspired by Yo-Yo Ma's rendition of "Gabriel's Oboe" from The Mission, one of Ennio Morricone's famous works, in his album Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone. A challenging (for each player) yet extremely satisfying ensemble piece to play~

This arrangement by Gabrie's Oboe was based on the famous recording of Yo Yo Ma playing with Roma Sinfonietta. The score reproduces as faithfully as possible what the performers played. You and your ensemble will love playing this beautiful arrangement. Your audience will be delighted.

This score was transcribed based on the Homage of Yo Yo Ma to Ennio Morricone released on Twitter when he learned of his death. In his own words:

'I'll never forget the way Ennio Morricone described music as ?energy, space, and time.? It is, perhaps, the most concise and accurate description I?ve ever heard. We'll truly miss him.'

Here we transcribe and arrange perhaps the most emblematic melody of Morricone, transcribed for cello solo. The piece fits well at concert ends as an encore, or as a transition piece. You will impress your audience with this beautiful melody. Enjoy.
