布罗克斯顿评说莫里康内 MB-002-17

在我的不定期新系列的第二部分中，我们着眼于一些标志性作曲家的早期职业生涯，我们来看看传奇人物埃尼奥·莫里康内（Ennio Morricone）创作的更多晦涩难懂的作品。这组评论着眼于莫里康内在 1966 年和 1967 年创作的 15 首配乐，包括几首杰出的爵士乐和流行乐曲、战争动作和历史剧，以及更多他开创性的意大利面条西部配乐，其中一首以电影史上最具标志性的音乐原始尖叫之一为特色！

我会回来 （1966）

Mi Vedrai Tornare 是一部意大利浪漫剧，由 Ettore Maria Fizzarotti 执导，标志着广受欢迎的流行歌手 Gianni Morandi 的首次亮相，他凭借同名歌曲在意大利登上了排行榜。在这部电影中，莫兰迪饰演吉安尼·阿莱尔迪，一名在意大利海军服役的年轻水手，他与美丽的日本女孩刘公主（伊丽莎白·吴饰）相遇并坠入爱河，尽管与一位居住在罗马的东方贵族订婚，但她还是回报了他的感情。

乐谱的主题“You'll See Me Return”是一首轻浪漫的摇滚/流行乐曲，由马林巴琴和木琴领衔，由郁郁葱葱的弦乐、咕咕咕的歌手和现代架子鼓节奏部分支撑。主题的和弦进行中也有一个可爱的（如果有点刻板的）日本语变化，显然暗示了可爱的女主角的民族血统。这是一个轻量级的主题，实际上只不过是扩展的器乐，但它无疑证明了莫里康内擅长以数十种不同的风格成功地创作和编曲音乐。

Mi Vedrai Tornare 的配乐从未以 CD 形式发行;1966 年在意大利发行了一张 10 分钟的 45RPM 黑胶唱片，其中收录了莫里康内的主题曲、莫兰迪的著名歌曲，以及另一首由路易斯·巴克洛夫创作并由莫兰迪演唱的歌曲“La Fisarmonica”的两个变体，但仅此而已。然而，Mi Vedrai Tornare 的主旋律可以在 GDM Music 于 2008 年发行的 15 张 CD 合辑 Ennio Morricone： The Complete Edition 中找到。

In this second installment of my irregular new series looking at the early career of some iconic composers, we take a look at some more of the more obscure works written by the legendary Ennio Morricone. This group of reviews look at fifteen scores Morricone wrote in 1966 and 1967, including several outstanding jazz and pop pieces, war moves and historical drama, and more of his groundbreaking spaghetti western scores, one of which features one of the most iconic musical primal screams in cinema history!

MI VEDRAI TORNARE (1966)

Mi Vedrai Tornare is an Italian romantic drama directed by Ettore Maria Fizzarotti, which marked the acting debut of the enormously popular pop singer Gianni Morandi, who had a chart hit in Italy with a song of the same name. The film sees Morandi playing Gianni Aleardi, a young sailor enrolled in the Italian Navy, who meets and falls in love with Princess Liu (Elisabetta Wu), a beautiful Japanese girl who returns his affections despite being involved in arranged betrothed to an oriental nobleman living in Rome.

The score’s main theme, “You’ll See Me Return,” is a lightly romantic rock/pop piece led by marimbas and xylophones, underpinned by lush strings, a cooing vocalist, and a contemporary drum kit rhythm section. There is also a lovely (if somewhat stereotypical) Japanese inflection to the theme’s chord progressions, clearly alluding to the national origin of the lovely leading lady. It’s a lightweight theme, really little more than extended instrumental, but it certainly proves that Morricone is adept as writing and arranging music successfully in literally dozens of different styles.

The score for Mi Vedrai Tornare has never been released on CD; there was a 10-minute 45RPM vinyl album released in Italy in 1966 featuring Morricone’s main theme, Morandi’s famous song, and two variations of another song, “La Fisarmonica,” written by Luis Baclov and performed by Morandi, but that’s it. However, the main theme from Mi Vedrai Tornare can be found on the comprehensive 15-CD compilation Ennio Morricone: The Complete Edition, released by GDM Music in 2008.
