Zeltia Montes - Sad Hill Unearthed (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '2018

Tracks list

Quartet Records is glad to present the new film score composed by Zeltia Montes
(The Happets in the Kingdom of the Sun, Vilamor, Frágil Equilibrio) for the
film documentary Sad Hill Unearthed, directed by Guillermo de Oliveira.
 
The film is about some fans of Sergio Leone’s The Good, The Bad and the
Ugly who visit the location of the film’s final sequence in Burgos,
Spain. They want to unearth and bring back to life the iconic Sad Hill Cemetery,
abandoned for 49 years and now covered with vegetation. News spreads quickly and
every weekend people from all over Europe start visiting the location to help in
its reconstruction. Sad Hill Unearthed explores the fans’ dreams and
their motivations, and how art, music and culture influence people to become a
transcendental search experience.
 
The film’s director, Guillermo de Olivieira, says, “I believe music
to be the best vehicle for conveying emotions. Leone knew this, as did
Morricone. As a result, composing an original soundtrack that could reflect the
impact of their work 50 years later was an incredible challenge. It would
generate doubt even in the most confident of composers.” Far from trying a
pastiche of music for spaghetti westerns or the recognizable Morricone sound,
Zeltia Montes took the path of writing a score deeply respectful of how
something can become iconic and important for many people around the world. An
organic, exciting, vigorous and tremendously personal score, it is performed by
The Budapest Symphony Orchestra.
