The weight of Ennio Morriocone in the composition of film music in the second half of the s. XX is indisputable, in terms of innovation and production volume. The particular technique of treating the melodic cells will become a paradigm of his language, along with the use of innovative timbres, which were not common in the orchestral music of the time. The close collaboration with Sergio Leone during the 60s will contribute to consolidating him as a benchmark in the sound of the Western genre. After the success of the so-called Dollar Trilogy, Paramount Pictures asked Leone to repeat the formula before tackling other projects. This one, with a more generous budget, will start filming C'era una volta il West, an eclectic story in which all the characteristic elements of the genre are represented: the railroad, the gunslingers and bandits, the american pioneers, the woman of character indomitable and the enigmatic man in search of revenge. Leone again entrusted the soundtrack to Ennio Morricone, playing this one a fundamental role in the story. The present transcription incorporates the original sounds of the author, such as the harmonica, the electric and classical guitar, the harpsichord or the choir, in the ensemble of the concert band, seeking to achieve a greater sound fidelity with the score. Understanding the difficulty that having these resources can entail, the previous specific parts are of an optional nature, so that the arrangement also works without them, and also if any of the parts is incorporated independently of the rest.

El Camino de la Vida - Arrangiamento mariachi di Guido Menestrina

Un arrangiamento mariachi di una canzone colombiana del 1983, composta da Héctor Ochoa Cárdenas e acclamata da un concorso pochi anni dopo come la più bella canzone di tutti i tempi della Colombia e nel 1999 come la canzone colombiana per eccellenza del XX secolo.
In effetti il brano è stato anche studiato approfonditamente dal punto di vista strutturale per capire l'estensione del suo appeal sull'ascoltatore, individuando nella composizione infussi di Liszt, Chopin e Bizet, peraltro stilemi musicali molto usati anche da altri compositori del Novecento di area colombiana e venezuelana.

A mariachi arrangement of the famous Colombian song El Camino de la Vida, composed by Héctor Ochoa Cárdenas in 1983 and acclaimed during the next18-20 years as the most beautiful Colombian song of the 20th century and of all times. The song has been studied in deep to understand its appeal to the listener, both finding musical relations to Liszt, Chopin and Bizet and referring to the nostalgia by some listeners for a time which has passed (including the Catholic way of life and principles in the last 40 or 50 years).
Translation of the text is given in the videoscore.
Arrangement for small mariachi ensemble by Guido Menestrina.
