This obituary from the Irish Times...with a lot more commentary about Morricone's life, career and film music.
My favourite sound track of Ennio Morricone - Once Upon A Time In America...This is the haunting Deborah's Theme. Spoiler alert: the slide show that goes with it, tells the story. But the music is beautiful.

And just one more that I love...The Untouchables Theme (& opening titles if you watch the clip) Enjoy.
