The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (soundtrack)
Ennio Morricone's iconic score for Sergio Leone's Western.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, released in 1966, accompanies Sergio Leone's Western film of the same name. Ennio Morricone composed the score, which incorporates gunfire, whistling, and yodelling. The main theme, a two-note melody resembling a coyote's howl, assigns a different instrument to each of the three main characters: flute for Blondie, arghilofono for Angel Eyes, and human voices for Tuco. The soundtrack album reached No. 4 on the Billboard pop album chart and No. 10 on the black album chart. Capitol Records remastered and re-released the album on 18 May 2004 with ten additional musical cues.
