Once Upon a Time in the West[vocals]

Once Upon a Time in the West

1968

 

The music of Once Upon a Time in America was composed by Sergio Leone's long-time collaborator, Ennio Morricone.

Due to the film's unusually long production, Morricone had finished composing most of the soundtrack before many scenes had even been filmed.

Some of Morricone's pieces were actually played on set as filming took place (a technique that Leone had used for Once Upon a Time in the West).

 

"Deborah's Theme" was in fact originally written for another film in the 1970s but rejected; 

Morricone presented the piece to Leone, who was initially reluctant, considering it too similar to Morricone's main title for Once Upon a Time in the West.

This is a beautiful rendition. The original piece created for the movie, "Once Opon A Time In The West", composed by & conducted by Ennio Morricone, from the 1968 western film of the same name directed by Sergio Leone, is genius  & song originally by Edda Dell'orso is perfection.

 

As good as this rendition is, removing the human element removes the heart & soul of this piece & takes away it's ability to move one emotionally.

 

Outstanding vocals belongs to Italian singer Edda Dell'Orso, who was Morricone`s longtime collaborator.
Simply unforgettable voice, unique and unrepeatable!

 

Once Upon A Time In The West (Title Theme)---Ennio Morricone

 

Your Love - Dulce Pontes, 

Ennio Morricone • Once Upon a Time in the West

 

Lyrics:

 

I woke and you were there 

beside me in the night 

you touched me and calmed my fear 

turned darkness into light.

 

I woke and saw you there

beside me as before

my heart leapt to find you near

to feel you close once more

to feel your love once more.

 

Your strength has made me strong

though life tore us apart

and now when the night seems long

your love shines in my heart.

 

Dulce José Silva Pontes (Portuguese: [ˈduɫs(ɨ) ʒuˈzɛ ˈsiɫvɐ ˈpõtɨʃ], born 8 April 1969) is a Portuguese songwriter and singer who performs in many musical styles, including pop, folk, and classical music. She is usually defined as a world music artist. Her songs contributed to the 1990s revival of Portuguese urban folk music called fado.

 

Pontes was born in 1969 in Montijo, a town in the District of Setúbal, near Lisbon.[1] She trained as a pianist, and started a career in singing after entering a competition in her hometown at the age of 18. She soon became an actress on Portuguese television and theatre.[2] In 1991, she won the national music festival with her song "Lusitana Paixão", (known in English as "Tell Me"), which led her to represent Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest. She finished 8th in the competition, which is to date the fourth-best finish for a Portuguese performer

 

파두의 전설인 Amalia Rodrigues (아멜리아 로드리게스)의 영혼을 고스란히 물려받은 차세대 파두주자. Dulce Pontes(두울스 뽄뜨스)  는 Fado (포루투칼의 민속음악) 의 전설이라 불리우는 Amalia Rodrigues 의 딸로 어머니의 뒤를 이어 역시 파두를 노래하고 있다. 그러면서도 전통과 현대의 접점을 지혜롭게 탐구해 내는 성악가수다.

 

1991년 포루투갈 송 페스티벌에서 우승을 차지했고 이듬해 유러비전 송 콘테스트에 참가하면서 국제적인 명성을 얻었다.  그해 발표한 데뷔앨범 LUSITANA가 엄청난 흥행 돌풍을 일으키면서 성공적인 장미빛 미래를 그려내기도, 그런 그녀의 인기와 명성에 기폭제 역할을 한 것은 그녀의 데뷔앨범에 수록된 Canção do Mar (Song of the Sea)가 리차드 기어, 에드워드 노튼 주연의 영화 "프리미얼 피어" 에 삽입 되면서부터  화려한 데뷔시절을 통과하고  호세 카레라스,안드레아 보첼리, 세사리아 에보라, 카에타노 벨로수 등 세계적인 뮤지션들과 협연하는 등 명실상부한 포르투갈 대표하는 여가수로 자리매김 하였다.

 

Dulce Pontes (포르투갈어 '두울스 뽄뜨스' (스페인,둘체 폰테스))는

세기의 음귀 Ennio Morricone (엔니오 모리꼬네)가 극찬한 파두의 여인으로 영화  "Once Upon a Time in the West"에서 "Your Love" 를 부르게 했다.

 

Fado 의 어원은 라틴어 "fatum (숙명)"으로  숙명, 좌절, 고난 등을 주제로 하고있는 포루투칼의 전통적 민속음악인데, 포루투칼 사람들은 아이러니하게도 fado 를 들으면서 삶의 용기와 기쁨 같은 카타르시스를 얻는다고 한다.

 파두[Fado]성악가. '두울스 뽄뜨스'의 대표곡은  Canção do Mar 깐썽 두 마르- Song of the Sea 바다의 노래 .
