With classic films like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in
the West, Sergio Leone built his reputation as a master of the Western. A key
part of these films unique style was their soundtracks, all of which were
crafted by Ennio Morricone: his singular mixture of avant-garde quirks, pop
instrumentation, and traditional orchestral romanticism played a crucial role in
helping Leone redefine what audiences expected from a Western. Giu la Testa is
the soundtrack to Leones last foray into the genre, and as a result there is a
certain bittersweet romanticism that infuses the typical quirks present in a
Morricone score: the title track may have a cut-up structure and some bizarre
choral vocals, but the true heart of the composition is an emotionally searing
wordless solo from Edda DellOrso that communicates heartache far better than any
lyrics ever could. The sweetly crafted heartache of that moment is further
elaborated on in cues like Mesa Verde, which uses a gentle bed of strings to
cushion a fragile, sad melody built on stately horns and some Spanish-flavored
acoustic guitar, and Dopo LEsplosione, a quietly tragic tune that layers a
heart-tugging, whistled melody with subtle orchestration. However, the album
isnt all somber melodicism: Giu la Testas sense of melancholy is balanced by
some playful moments like Scherzi a Parte, a jaunty reworking of elements from
the main theme that contrasts a carefree whistled melody with odd electric
keyboard riffs, and Marcia Degla Accattoni, a clever cue that tarts up its
march-styled orchestral melody with quirks galore (singers croaking nonsense
syllables, unexpected mandolin parts, unexpected whistle, and harpsichord
breaks). The remainder of the cues mostly revisit melodic elements from the main
theme, but none ever wear out their welcome thanks to Morricones relentlessly
innovative touch as an arranger. All in all, Giu la Testa represents one of the
towering achievements in Ennio Morricones catalog, because it represents the
one-of-a-kind blend of romanticism and musical innovation that defines his
finest work in the Western soundtrack genre.
