Original soundtrack from 2008 TV wartime movie set between WWI and 1956, directed by Alberto Negrin (IL SEGRETO DEL SAHARA, PERLASCA, L’ULTIMO DEI CORLEONESI), starring Pierfrancesco Favino. Ennio Morricone creates richly melodic score with emphasis on saddened nostalgia. Virtually every track offers warm melody, often with minor-key melancholy. Morricone tacets brass, relies on strings, woodwinds, keyboards plus lonely sound of solo accordion within orchestra. Only once (during "Dissenso") does composer stray from beauty towards suspense via throbbing piano, low strings and dramatic motif above. Haunting, beautiful score! Ennio Morricone composes, orchestrates, conducts Roma Sinfonietta and delivers a knockout!
