Happy 90th Birthday Ennio Morricone!!! 
or Buon Compleanno!!
Born on November 10, 1928 in Rome, Italy
Thanks for everything, so far...
Italian composer, orchestrator, conductor, and former trumpet player, writing in a wide range of musical styles. Since 1946 Morricone has composed over 520 scores for cinema and television, as well as over 100 classical works.
His first teacher was his father Mario Morricone, who taught him how to read music and also to play several instruments. Compelled to take up the trumpet, he entered the National Academy of St Cecilia, to take trumpet lessons under the guidance of Umberto Semproni.
In 1956, Morricone started to support his family by playing in a jazz band and arranging pop songs for the Italian broadcasting service RAI. He was hired by RAI in 1958, but quit his job on his first day at work when he was told that broadcasting of music composed by employees was forbidden by a company rule. Subsequently, Morricone became a top studio arranger at RCA Victor, working with Renato Rascel, Rita Pavone, and Mario Lanza.

A very uncomplete fraction of his soundtracks:
1961, this marked his first full score for a movie.
