ENNIO MORRICONE REVIEWS, Part VI

September 19, 2020
在我关于标志性作曲家早期职业生涯的系列文章的第六期中,我们来看看剩下的十二首——传奇人物埃尼奥·莫里康内在1968年创作的乐谱,这是电影史上任何作曲家中最多产的一年。这组评论着眼于有史以来最伟大的西部片之一《西部往事》的音乐,以及多种流派的各种其他配乐,包括浪漫主义的流行迷幻配乐、“nunsploitation”、黄色恐怖的前卫无调性、冷酷的犯罪惊悚片、社会现实主义戏剧等等!

In this sixth installment of my series looking at the early careers of iconic composers, we take a look at the remaining twelve the scores written by the legendary Ennio Morricone in 1968, one of the most prolific years of any composer in cinema history. This group of reviews looks at the music for one of the greatest westerns of all time – Once Upon a Time in the West – and a variety of other scores across a multitude of genres, including pop-psychedelia scores for romances, ‘nunsploitation,’ avant garde atonalism for giallo horror, hard-boiled crime thrillers, social realist dramas, and so much more!

圣塞巴斯蒂安的枪 (1968)

《圣塞巴斯蒂安的枪》是法国导演亨利·韦尔讷伊的动作冒险片。它由安东尼·奎因 (Anthony Quinn) 饰演墨西哥内战期间的逃兵阿拉斯特雷 (Alastray),一位善良的牧师(山姆·贾菲 (Sam Jaffe))为他提供了西班牙军队的避难所。当牧师在前往附近圣塞巴斯蒂安镇的途中被土匪谋杀时,阿拉斯特雷假装是他,打算欺骗村民。然而,当他们热烈欢迎他时,他开始意识到自己的错误。最终,西班牙人抵达圣塞巴斯蒂安逮捕阿拉斯特雷;他们得到了特克洛(查尔斯·布朗森饰)的帮助,他是谋杀真正牧师的团伙头目,多年来一直在恐吓村庄。阿拉斯特雷感到对他的新社区负有责任,他安排将一批武器运送到圣塞巴斯蒂安,并承诺帮助村民摆脱特克洛的暴政。

莫里康内为《圣塞巴斯蒂安的枪》配乐是他出色的意大利面西部片系列中的又一部作品,这部作品在他早期作品中更无政府主义的基调和他后来在《西部往事》中采用的更具歌剧风格的风格之间架起了一座桥梁。整部曲以一个宏大的主旋律为基础,在开场的“序曲”中引入,大量高亢的声音、弦乐和钢琴,以及振奋人心的打击乐,辅以西班牙吉他、轻快的双簧管和 Edda dell'Orso 传奇的令人难以忘怀的无言声乐表演之一。整部乐曲中多次重述了主旋律,在精彩的“建造大坝”中表现出色,在“村民准备炸毁大坝”中,男声和鲜明的管弦乐队更加内省和悲观。

考虑到这部电影的性质,也有很多动作音乐。“追逐”是一首起泡的作品,融合了刺耳的颤动录音机、震撼的打击乐、强大的胜利铜管和只有莫里康内才能做到的合唱团。后来的线索,如“突击”、毫不妥协的不和谐的“Leon Fights Teclo”、“燃烧的村庄”和耸人听闻的“白种马”,同样出色;Edda dell'Orso 在“The Assault”中极其强大的歌声必须被听到才能相信。

乐谱中反复出现的爱情主题是一首真正令人惊叹的弦乐、吉他和合唱团的浪漫配乐,可能是莫里康内最接近米克洛斯·罗萨 (Miklós Rósza) 的宗教声音; 在“Kinita's Plea”、“Leon Tell His Love”、“Leon Leaves Kinita”以及最后在教会风味和偶尔相当鲜明的“片尾标题”中的陈述都同样崇高; 最轻微的钟声确实增加了这一切的史诗范围。同样值得一提的是《长途跋涉》,这是一部充满悬念和紧张感的抽象作品,它使用分层的弦乐以有趣的方式传达沙漠景观上刺眼的灼热阳光的感觉,同时也包含一种鲜明的美感,主要来自木管乐器。

《圣塞巴斯蒂安的枪》是莫里康内的另一部了不起的西部片,具有极好的主旋律、他最丰富的爱情主题之一,以及一些了不起的暴力动作。我在这里评论的版本是《电影配乐月刊》发布的长达一小时的版本,但也有较短的版本,侧重于可能为听众提供更简洁的聆听体验的亮点。

ENNIO MORRICONE REVIEWS, Part 6-59

GUNS FOR SAN SEBASTIAN (1968)

Guns for San Sebastian is an action adventure from French director Henri Verneuil. It stars Anthony Quinn as Alastray, a deserter during the Mexican civil war, who is given sanctuary from the Spanish army by a kindly priest (Sam Jaffe). When the priest is murdered by bandits en-route to the nearby town of San Sebastian, Alastray pretends to be him, intending to swindle the villagers. However, when they welcome him warmly, he begins to realize the error of his ways. Eventually, the Spanish arrive in San Sebastian to arrest Alastray; they are aided by Teclo (Charles Bronson), the leader of the gang who murdered the real priest, and who has been terrorizing the village for years. Feeling a responsibility to his new community, Alastray arranges for a shipment of weapons to be delivered to San Sebastian, and pledges to help the villagers free themselves from Teclo’s tyrrany.

Morricone’s score for Guns for San Sebastian is yet another entry in his terrific series of Spaghetti westerns, although this one acts as something of a bridge between the more anarchic tones of his earlier work, and more operatic style he would later adopt in Once Upon A Time in the West. The whole thing is anchored by a sweeping main theme, which is introduced in the opening “Overture,” a mass of soaring voices, strings and pianos, and rousing percussion, accented with Spanish guitars, lilting oboes and one of Edda dell’Orso’s legendary haunting wordless vocal performances. There are several restatements of the main theme throughout the score, with notable performances coming in the brilliant “Building the Dam,” and in a more introspective and downbeat arrangement for male voices and stark orchestrations in “The Villagers Prepare to Blow Up the Dam.”

Considering the nature of the film there is a lot of action music too. “The Chase” is a blistering piece, blending harsh fluttering recorders, pounding percussion, powerful triumphant brass, and the choir as only Morricone could. Later cues like “The Assault,” the uncompromisingly dissonant “Leon Fights Teclo,” “The Burning Village,” and the sensational “The White Stallion,” are equally excellent; Edda dell’Orso extremely powerful vocals in “The Assault” have to be heard to be believed.

The score’s recurring Love Theme is a truly stunning piece of romance scoring for strings, guitar, and choir, and may be closest Morricone ever got to the religioso sound of Miklós Rósza; it’s statements in “Kinita’s Plea,” “Leon Tells His Love,” “Leon Leaves Kinita,” and finally in the ecclesiastically-flavored and occasionally quite stark “End Titles,” are all equally sublime; the merest hints of a tolling bell really adds to the epic scope of it all. Also of note is “The Long Trek,” an abstract piece of suspense and tension that uses layered strings interesting ways to convey the sensation of a harsh burning sun on a desert landscape, while also containing a sense of stark beauty, mostly from the woodwinds.

Guns for San Sebastian is yet another terrific Morricone western, featuring a superb sweeping main theme, one of his most lush love themes, and some terrific violent action. The version I have reviewed here is the hour-long version released by Film Score Monthly, but there are shorter versions that focus on the highlights that may provide listeners with a more concise listening experience.
