What is your opinion of EM?

Personally, I think his music is great... I have the soundtrack to "Once Upon A Time In The West" on my iRiver - it's that good!!



Anybody wanna comment?

Theme for Jill McBain is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. I love all that sound track.

Fistful of Dynamite is pretty good too,especially where it goes back in time to Ireland.

If you want to hear some excerpts:

scroll down to no.25 to hear a snippet of beautiful singing. Gawd...now I'm going to have to watch the film again...

Is he the chap who wrote Gabriel's Oboe?

It's still got to be Chi Mai for me.

There's a beautiful version on this page - http://www.mangore.com/chi_mai.html

He is indeed Sarah - and that is such a lovely piece of music!

It's been a long time since I listened to it - I need to go find it.....

What is Gabriel's Oboe? Film? Stand-alone music?

It's from a film, I'm afraid I don't remember the name of the film though

Is it from "The Mission" ?

Yes! That's the one!

I have not seen the film, just heard some of the music

Thanks Carol.

I like "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"

That's a film, not three forumites!!!!!

So"The Mission" is the name of the film and "Gabriel's Oboe" is a track from the film? Is that right? who starred in the film and what is it about? Is the soundtrack as good as the soundtrack from "once upon a time in the west" does anyone think?

I really appreciate his music, some really good stuff!

Jon - I think G minor is great too! Can I join the club?

I have the piano music - it came as a 2 piece, an accompaniment and also the piano version - got it from here:

it is so beautiful - a friend of mine plays it on the flute and has played it at a few weddings / funerals. Bet there wouldn't be too many dry eyes at either!

Unfortunately I can't quite capture the atmosphere of the whole thing on my piano in my living room, but it is jolly nice to play all the same.

Also, I have never seen the movie, so I have no idea if it's worth watching or not!
