The Ecstasy of Gold is the famous theme from the movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly that leads up to and is heard during the movieâ??s climax, the showdown! The complete soundtrack to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was released in 1966 and sold millions of copies. Since 1983, heavy-metal band Metallica have been opening concerts with Morriconeâ??s dramatic and exciting song, The Ecstasy of Gold. Lorenzo Bocci has created an equally exciting arrangement for concert band.

The Ecstasy of Gold is het beroemde lied uit de muziek van de film The Good, The Bad and The Ugly en leidt naar het hoogtepunt van de film. Ennio Morricone componeerde de soundtrack voor deze spaghettiwestern van Sergio Leone. Ookde eerste twee delen van de filmtrilogie, A Fistfull of Dollars en For a Few Dollars More, voorzag hij van filmmuziek. De hardrockband Metallica opent sinds 1983 haar rockconcerten met dit dramatische en pakkende lied. Lorenzo Boccimaakte er een versie voor blaasorkest van. Spannend en meeslepend..!

The Ecstasy of Gold ist das berühmte Lied aus der Filmmusik zu The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (Zwei glorreiche Halunken), welches den Showdown und zugleich Höhepunkt des Films einleitet. Komponiert wurde der Soundtrack zu Sergio Leones klassischem Italo-Wester von Ennio Morricone, der auch schon die beiden ersten Filme der Trilogie - Für eine Handvoll Dollar und Für ein paar Doller mehr - vertont hatte. Die Metal-Band Metallica eröffnet seit 1983 ihre Konzerte stets mit diesem dramatischen und packenden Lied, das Lorenzo Bocci für Blasorchester arrangierte.

La légendaire mélodie The Ecstasy of Gold vient auréoler le point culminant du film Le Bon, la brute et le truand. Ce film clôture la célèbre Trilogie de lâ??homme sans nom dont les précédents films sont Pour une poignée de dollars, Et pour quelques dollars de plus. la demande du réalisateur Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone composa la bande originale des trois films. Depuis 1983, le groupe Metallica ouvre ses concerts avec ce thème dont Lorenzo Bocci a réalisé un époustouflant arrangement pour orchestre dâ??harmonie.

Film del 1966 diretto da Sergio Leone, Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo è uno tra i più celebri western della storia del cinema. Lâ??Estasi dellâ??Oro (The Ecstasy of Gold) è una canzone composta da Ennio Morricone per il film, ricordata in particolare per essere il sottofondo musicale della scena in cui Tuco cerca freneticamente il cimitero con la tomba dove si trovano 200.000 dollari in oro.

Shulamit Ran’s second string quartet, subtitled “Vistas,” occupies a large canvas that is cast in a traditional fourmovement mold, where the outer movements present, explore, and later return to the work’s principal musical materials, surrounding a slow movement and scherzo-type third movement with a trio. In addition to tempo-based titles, the individual movements have subtitles that are evocative of each movement’s character, as follows: I. Concentric: from the inside out II. Stasis III. Flashes IV. Vistas.
My second string quartet, “Vistas”, is a work cast in a traditional four-movement formal mold, with the outer movements, presenting and later returning to the work’s principal musical materials, surrounding a slow movement and a scherzo-type third movement.While the four movements’ “proper” names -- Maestoso con forza, Lento, Scherzo impetuoso, and Introduzione; Maestoso e grande – give some indication of the general character of the individual movements, I have also subtitled, less formally, each movement as follows:  1) Concentric:  from the inside out  2)  Stasis  3) Flashes  4) Vista.  The images evoked by these titles tell one, I think, a bit more about the inner workings of the quartet.In the first movement, a prominently presented opening pitch (E) reveals itself, as the movement unfolds, to be a center of gravity from which ever-growing cycles of activity gradually evolve.  While various important themes come into being as the movement progresses, their impact on the listener has, I believe, a great deal to do with their juxtaposition and relationship to the initial central point of gravity.Stasis is, as the name implies, a movement where activity seems, at times, almost suspended.  Being also, as Webster’s Dictionary reminds us, “a state of static balance and equilibrium among opposing tendencies or forces,” it develops various materials, including ones from the first movement, without bringing them to points of resolution.Flashes is short and very fast, evoking in my mind the quick shimmer of fireflies, a “sudden burst of light”, but also a “brief time”.  Perhaps, even, a “smile”?Finally, the last movement, Vista, is not only “a view or outlook”, but also “a comprehensive mental view of a series of remembered or anticipated events.”  After a brief recall of the opening of the second movement, this movement brings back all the important themes of the first movement in their original order.  But just as going back can never really mean going back in time, the movement is much more than recapitulatory.  By cutting through previously transitory passages and presenting the main ideas in a fashion more direct yet more evolved, it also sheds new light on earlier events, offering a retrospective, synoptic view of the first movement as it brings to culmination the work as a whole. “Vistas” was commissioned by C. Geraldine Freund for the Taneyev String Quartet of what was then Leningrad.  It was the first commission given in this country to a Soviet chamber ensemble since the 1985 cultural exchange accord between the Soviet Union and the United States.
