I was very saddened to hear of the death in Rome of composer and conductor Ennio Morricone at the age of 91. He has been my favourite composer of film music soundtracks for many years and in particular those of the spaghetti westerns.
Rest in Peace, Ennio.
R.I.P. Ennio Morricone

Sad to hear of the passing of Ennio. I can remember a lot of his film scores and, like John, I particularly like the spaghetti Westerns. R.I.P.

I was so heartbroken with the news of Ennio Morricone's death. Such a legend and amazing man that he was! I am glad the world was blessed with his presence for 91 years, and he certainly did leave an eternal legacy with his unforgettable music 
He will be terribly missed
RIP Ennio Morricone

That's such a lovely tribute, Maria Esther, from somebody as young as yourself.
