Ennio Morricone Tribute Week on LuxuriaMusic

Ennio Morricone turns 80 on November 10th!

LuxuriaMusic's Morricone week kicks off with Thrifting for Tunes'
ENNIO MORRICONE SPECIAL - PART 1
November 8 at 11 am pacific / 2 pm eastern

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to the last all-you-can-eat spaghetti buffet, we're laying off the cocktails for the next two weeks and getting back in the kitchen for more pasta!

Part 1 of the Morricone special focuses on the maestro's western scores... We'll be staying away from the more iconic Sergio Leone films for the most part, and exploring music from films by directors Sergio Corbucci, Damiano Damiani, Giulio Petroni, and more.

Bringing Morricone week to a close will be Thrifting for Tunes'
ENNIO MORRICONE SPECIAL - PART 2
November 15 at 11 am pacific / 2 pm eastern

Part 2 features a few Morricone scores for French and Italian crime thrillers of the 60s and 70s, as well as his work as a pop composer/arranger for such artists as Mina, Rita Monico, and Luigi Tenco.

Early risers: you can also listen to the two Morricone specials on the maestro's birthday, November 10:
