Over a career that stretched across half a century, Morricone scored over 500 films, including seven for Sergio Leone.
For years, Tarantino reclaimed old Morricone music from spaghetti westerns and horror films in his own movies — like this piece from Death Rides a Horse that appears in Kill Bill.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Morricone “died in Rome following complications from a fall last week in which he broke his femur.”
87 years old at the time, Morricone became the oldest artist to ever win a competitive Oscar.
