ENNIO MORRICONE REVIEWS, Part IX

February 7, 2021
在我关于标志性作曲家早期职业生涯的系列文章的第九期中,我们来看看传奇人物埃尼奥·莫里康内在1970年创作的六首乐谱。配乐包括一部激烈的动作惊悚片、一部复仇主题的战争电影、一部听起来像舞会的历史史诗剧、一部犯罪剧的抽象配乐,以及两部包含许多人认为他有史以来最伟大的两个主题的配乐,其中一部是我个人一直以来最喜欢的莫里康内爱情主题!

暴力之城 (1970)

《Città Violenta》是一部意大利-法国动作片,由塞尔吉奥·索利马执导,查尔斯·布朗森、吉尔·爱尔兰和泰莉·萨瓦拉斯主演。布朗森饰演职业刺客杰夫·赫斯顿,他与情妇凡妮莎(爱尔兰)在维尔京群岛度假,但被一名身份不明的袭击者枪杀。赫斯顿幸存下来,但在被诬陷犯有他没有犯下的谋杀罪后被监禁;多年后,赫斯顿出狱并跟踪凡妮莎到新奥尔良,在那里他发现她现在已经嫁给了陷害他的犯罪头目韦伯(萨瓦拉斯饰)。然而,当赫斯顿拒绝加入韦伯的帮派时,猎人变成了被猎物,他发现自己正在通过大易(through the Big Easy)逃命。

埃尼奥·莫里康内(Ennio Morricone)的配乐围绕着两个反复出现的主题。第一首是“Città Violenta”,是管弦乐队、哭泣的吉他和黑暗的钢琴的肮脏而坚韧的主题,逐渐演变成一种尖锐的旋律,许多人可能认为这是他为昆汀·塔伦蒂诺(Quentin Tarantino)的《八恶人》创作的主题的先驱,大约45年后。在主题的后半部分使用紧张的扬琴是复古的莫里康内,整件事都讲述了赫斯顿危险的生活方式。第二个反复出现的主题“Con Estrema Dolcezza”是 Heston 和 Vanessa 的爱情主题,是弦乐和木管乐器的典型浪漫旋律,尽管在背景中不寻常地添加了回声吉他,使其具有意想不到的威胁性。

乐谱的其余部分是建立在这两个想法的风格之上的。像“Rito Finale”和“Norme Con Ironie”这样的提示为Città Violenta的主要主题提供了更多低调的变化。在其他地方,像“Mille Volte Un Grido”这样的作品是抽象和不和谐的悬疑曲目,由悸动的吉他和不寻常的合成纹理组成,而其他线索,如“Momento Estremo”则更柔和、更亲密,通常以木管乐器和大键琴的突出表演为特色。还有一两首时髦的轻摇滚动作曲目——“Svolta Definitiva”、“Disperatamente”——进一步增强了新奥尔良环境的坚韧不拔,其中“Disperatamente”以其奇怪、令人窒息的歌声而特别引人注目。

多年来,《Città Violenta》的原声带已多次发行。这里回顾的版本是意大利唱片公司GDM Records在2012年发行的版本;多年来发行的数十张莫里康内合辑中的许多专辑中也都有主旋律。

ENNIO MORRICONE REVIEWS, Part 9-88

CITTÀ VIOLENTA [VIOLENT CITY] (1970)

Città Violenta is an Italian-French action film directed by Sergio Sollima, starring Charles Bronson, Jill Ireland and Telly Savalas. Bronson plays professional assassin Jeff Heston, who is holidaying in the Virgin Islands with his mistress Vanessa (Ireland), but is shot and left for dead by an unknown assailant. Heston survives, but is imprisoned after being framed for a murder he did not commit; years later, Heston is released from prison and tracks Vanessa to New Orleans, where he finds that she is now married to Weber (Savalas), the crime boss who framed him. However, when Heston refuses to join Weber’s gang, the hunter becomes the hunted, and he finds himself running for his life through the Big Easy.

Ennio Morricone’s score is built around two recurring main themes. The first, “Città Violenta,” is a dirty and gritty theme for orchestra, wailing guitars, and darkly insistent pianos, which gradually emerges into a strident melody that many may see as a forerunner to the theme he wrote for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight some 45 years later. The use of a nervous dulcimer in the theme’s second half is vintage Morricone, and the whole thing speaks to Heston’s dangerous lifestyle. The second recurring theme, “Con Estrema Dolcezza,” is a love theme for Heston and Vanessa, and is a quintessential romantic melody for strings and woodwinds, although the unusual addition of an echoing guitar in the background gives it an unexpectedly menacing quality.

The rest of the score is built out from the stylistics of these two ideas. Cues like “Rito Finale” and “Norme Con Ironie” offer more low-key variations on the main Città Violenta theme. Elsewhere, pieces like “Mille Volte Un Grido” are abstract and dissonant suspense tracks for banks of throbbing guitars and unusual synthetic textures, while other cues such as “Momento Estremo” are softer and more intimate, often featuring prominent performances from woodwinds and harpsichord. There are also one or two groovy light rock action tracks – “Svolta Definitiva,” “Disperatamente” – that enhance further the grittiness of the New Orleans setting, with “Disperatamente” being especially notable for its strange, breathless vocals.

The soundtrack to Città Violenta has been released many times over the years. The version reviewed here is the one released by Italian label GDM Records in 2012; the main theme also features on many of the dozens of Morricone compilation albums released over the years.
