November 3 The Royal Film Concert Orchestra with the music of Ennio Morricone in Murcia

Dozens of hit movie tunes at the Auditorio Víctor Villegas in the city of Murcia

It is now almost 100 years since the release of The Jazz Singer, which has generally been considered the first sound movie since its release in 1927, and the Royal Film Orchestra return to Murcia with close on a century’s film classics to choose from in their program.

This time the choice favours the great Italian composer and conductor Ennio Morricone, who scored the soundtrack for as many as 500 films during his long career, including The Thing, The Mission and of course scores of “spaghetti western” including the memorable “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly” and “A Fistful of Dollars”.

The full program for the evening reads like a history of the cinema:

• The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
• Casablanca
• Forrest Gump
• Cinema Paradiso
• Novecento
• Pirates of the Caribbean
• The Mission
• The Godfather
• The Ecstasy of Gold
• Once Upon a Time in the West
• For a Few Dollars More
• Lawrence of Arabia
• Out Of Africa
• The Great Escape
• Gone With the Wind
• Conan the Barbarian
• Moon River
