ITALIAN WESTERN. VIOLENT IMAGE, SAVAGE SOUNDTRACK.
The Composers and the music of the Spaghetti Western.
Music in an Italian western is far more than a background to the action; the music becomes an important and integral component of the film making process. It elevates and underlines the narrative and adds a new and greater dimension to each storyline. The composer interviews within this book are an insight into the workings of various Maestro’s who were involved with this quirky and innovative genre of films. The interviews were conducted over a period of twenty five years. As most of the composers are now sadly deceased it is a valuable and interesting look at how the music worked and the way in which each composer approached the genre.
Composers interviewed include. Alessandro Alessandroni, Piero Piccioni, Franco De Gemini, Franco Micalizzi, Francesco De Masi, Nico Fidenco, Guido, and Maurizio De Angelis, Stelvio Cipriani, Nora Orlandi and others, all of whom contributed original and thematic music to the genre. The book also contains chapters on the songs from the movies and the vocalists who performed them. Biographies of key composers such as Bruno Nicolai, Benedetto Ghiglia, Gianni Ferrio, Gianni Marchetti, Luis Enriquez Bacalov, Riz Ortolani, and many more.
The author John Mansell also discusses the use of music in the gunfight scenes, the screams, squeals, and whistles, which became the trademark of the movies and gives a brief history of the genre and how it was born.
John Mansell is a British film music critic, soundtrack collector, and a member of the International film music critics association (IFMCA).

トラックリストスパゲッティ・ウェスタンの作曲家たちと音楽。
イタリアン・ウェスタンにおける音楽は、単なるアクションの背景以上の存在であり、映画制作プロセスにおいて不可欠かつ重要な要素となっている。音楽は物語を昇華させ、強調し、それぞれのストーリーラインに新たな、より深い次元を加えている。本書に掲載された作曲家へのインタビューは、この風変わりで革新的な映画ジャンルに関わった数々の巨匠たちの仕事ぶりを垣間見せるものである。インタビューは25年以上にわたって行われた。残念ながら、作曲家の多くはすでに他界しているため、音楽がどのように機能したか、そして各作曲家がこのジャンルにどのようにアプローチしたかを知る上で、本書は貴重かつ興味深い資料となっている。
インタビューに応じた作曲家には、アレッサンドロ・アレッサンドローニ、ピエロ・ピッチオーニ、フランコ・デ・ジェミニ、フランコ・ミカリッツィ、フランチェスコ・デ・マージ、ニコ・フィデンコ、グイド・マウリツィオ・デ・アンジェリス、ステルヴィオ・チプリアーニ、ノラ・オルランディなどが含まれ、彼らは皆、このジャンルに独創的でテーマ性のある音楽を提供しました。本書には、映画の楽曲やそれらを歌った歌手に関する章も収録されています。ブルーノ・ニコーライ、ベネデット・ギリア、ジャンニ・フェリオ、ジャンニ・マルケッティ、ルイス・エンリケス・バカロフ、リズ・オルトラーニなど、主要な作曲家たちの略歴も掲載されている。
