イタリアの、そして世界の、マカロニ界の大巨匠！エンニオ・モリコーネ氏が7月6日（2020）、ローマで亡くなりました。R.I.P.! “Maestro” Ennio Morricone!
享年は、91歳でした。
実は先週、大腿骨を骨折されて、病院に運ばれたようですが、そのご多臓器不全に陥ったようですね。超ご高齢の方の場合、日本でもよくあるパターンです。
ローマの中のローマ、トラステヴェレで生まれた巨匠ですが、最後の最後まで自宅で過ごされていたわけですから、良い亡くなり方だと思います。
ご冥福をお祈りいたします。
巨匠の功績を、このサイトでわざわざ述べるのは野暮ですので、各方面の追悼コメントなどが出れば順次追加したいと思います。

Where to even begin with iconic composer Ennio Morricone? He could make an average movie into a must see, a good movie into art, and a great movie into legend. He hasn't been off my stereo my entire life. What a legacy of work he leaves behind. RIP. https://t.co/qZX6qE10ke

The day we first played “The Ecstasy of Gold” as our new intro in 1983 it was magic! It has become apart of our blood…

#EnnioMorricone was a film composer for the ages. Sergio Leone had him orchestrate the final scene of Once Upon a Time in America before filming. As shooting commenced, suddenly the music soared live on the sound stage. Greatest movie experience of my life. #RIPEnnioMorricone pic.twitter.com/Cr7wHA8c8b

"Music is mysterious; it doesn’t offer many answers. Film music, on the other hand, is even more mysterious at times, both because of its bond with images and because of its way of bonding with the audience."
Thank you, Ennio Morricone, for all that you've given us. pic.twitter.com/8RsP1aIrbg
