Quartet Records, in collaboration with Universal Music Publishing Italia and EMI Music Publishing, presents a remastered reissue of Ennio Morricone's fascinating score for Folco Quilici's OCEANO (1971), a pseudo-documentary film about a young Polynesian, Tanai, who goes in search of the island of his dreams. On an epic sea voyage from Polynesia to Alaska, aboard a tiny fragile raft, he is guided by the voices of his ancestors.
Morricone's score for OCEANO seeks to merge nature with mythology. It breathes, vibrates, transmits, and is characterized by its episodic and atmospheric structure, taking the form of an evocative soundscape. The composer draws on resources that recall a primitive, spiritual component: tribal percussion (tablas and bongos), solo woodwinds (flutes and clarinets), guitar, sitar, clanging metal and harp. The fusion of timbres in this instrumentation is unconventional. He expressively sets to music ideas associated with wind or nature, sound textures that construct Tanai's intimate journey: we hear the sea, we feel the air roaring over the sail of his canoe, the danger lurking in the ocean, his loneliness. The music is another character that gives the film a lyrical dimension and complements the visual element, transcending its narrative function to become a gateway to meditation on the mystery of the sea and existence. Through his unmistakable style, Morricone invites us to immerse ourselves in a world of introspection, beauty and silent emotion.
The original 40-minute program was released on vinyl in 1971 in Italy and Japan, and both LPs quickly became collector's items. The same program was reissued by RCA on CD in 1993 paired with Morricone's score for L'AVVENTURIERO. In 2010, the complete 70-minute score with all the music recorded by Morricone was released on CD by the GDM label, which quickly sold out. This is a reissue of that release, supervised by Daniel Winkler and Claudio Fuiano, and entirely restored and remastered by Chris Malone from the original master tapes. The beautiful package includes in-depth liner notes by Miguel Angel Ordonez.
エンニオ・モリコーネがフォルコ・クイリチ監督の『遥かなる青い海』（1971年）のために手掛けた幻想的で情感豊かな美しいスコアがリマスターでリイシュー！
トラックリストこの作品は、夢の島を探し求める若いポリネシア人タナイの物語を描いたドキュメンタリータッチの映画です。ポリネシアからアラスカへの壮大な海旅で、小さな脆い筏に乗り、彼は先祖の声が導くままに進みます。
モリコーネの『遥かなる青い海』のスコアは、自然と神話を融合させることを目指しています。それは呼吸し、振動し、伝達し、喚起的なサウンドスケープとして、エピソード的で雰囲気のある構造が特徴です。作曲家は、原始的で精神的な要素を想起させる資源を活用しています：部族の打楽器（タブラとボンゴ）、ソロの木管楽器（フルートとクラリネット）、ギター、シタール、金属の響き、ハープ。この楽器編成における音色の融合は非伝統的です。彼は風や自然に関連するアイデアを表現的に音楽化し、タナイの個人的な旅を構築する音のテクスチャーを表現しています：海が聞こえ、彼のカヌーの帆の上を吹き荒れる風の音が感じられ、海に潜む危険、彼の孤独が感じられます。音楽は映画に詩的な次元を加え、視覚的要素を補完するもう一つのキャラクターです。物語の機能を超え、海の神秘と存在の謎への瞑想の入り口となります。モリコーネの独特なスタイルを通じて、私たちは内省、美しさ、静かな感情の世界に浸るよう誘われます。
オリジナルの40分間のプログラムは、1971年にイタリアと日本でアナログ盤としてリリースされ、いずれもすぐにコレクターズアイテムとなりました。同プログラムは、1993年にRCAからCDで再発され、モリコーネの『L'AVVENTURIERO』のスコアとカップリングで発売。2010年、モルコーネが録音した全音楽を含む70分間の完全盤スコアがGDMレーベルからCDでリリースされ、すぐに完売。これはそのリリースを再発したもので、ダニエル・ウィンクラーとクラウディオ・フイアーノが監修し、クリス・マローンがオリジナルのマスターテープから完全に修復・リマスターしたものです。美しいパッケージには、ミゲル・アンヘル・オルドネスの詳細なライナーノーツが収録されています。
