Ennio Morricone to Receive
Honorary Academy Award®
Beverly Hills, CA — Composer-conductor Ennio Morricone, who has composed more than 300 motion picture scores over a 45-year career, has been voted an Honorary Award by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The Award, an Oscar® statuette, will be given to Morricone at the 79th Academy Awards® presentation on February 25, 2007, “for his magnificent and multifaceted contributions to the art of film music.”
Morricone has earned five Academy Award nominations for original score — for “Days of Heaven” (1978), “The Mission” (1986), “The Untouchables” (1987), “Bugsy” (1991) and “Malèna” (2000) — but has not previously received an Oscar.
“The board was responding not just to the remarkable number of scores that Mr. Morricone has produced,” said Academy President Sid Ganis, “but to the fact that so many of them are beloved and popular masterpieces.”
While the bulk of his work has been on Italian films, including “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” “Once upon a Time in America” and “Cinema Paradiso,” Morricone has composed memorable scores for such international titles as “Bulworth,” “In the Line of Fire,” “La Cage aux Folles” and “Two Mules for Sister Sara.” His current project, “Leningrad,” has been announced for a 2008 release.
Born in Rome, Morricone was hired in 1964 by Sergio Leone and began a long collaboration with the director on what came to be known as “spaghetti westerns,” though his career has spanned most ***enres from comedy to romance to horror.
Morricone’s Honorary Oscar will be presented, along with other Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2006, on Sunday, February 25, 2007 at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center®. The Oscars® will be televised live by the ABC Television Network beginning at 5 p.m. PST (8 p.m. EST), with a half-hour red carpet arrivals segment, “The Road to the Oscars.”

Ennio Morricone大师1928年生于罗马,毕业于著名的圣切契里亚音乐学院,迄今为止已经参与制作了各国电影配乐作品400多部,是意大利最多产,最有建树的作曲家,虽然他一生仅仅获得过奥斯卡奖的区区几次提名,但是其他任何一位摘得金像的作曲家,在见到Ennio大师的时候都会毕恭毕敬的主动伸双手相握!
Ennio大师的旋律由于乐思宽广,质朴流畅,极富歌唱性,而具有在一瞬间就渗透人心的强大感染力;他的配器由于构思独特,选材广泛,不落窠臼,而使观众闻而不忘,回味无穷;他的配乐手法由于体裁多样,富于独创性,而使电影音乐的语汇获得极大丰富,从而使听众(包括专业人士)的电影音乐思维大大拓宽.
从1964年到1984年的这20年间,Ennio Morricone与意大利导演Sergio Leone共同在世界电影史上,写下了熠熠发光的一页.在他们2人合作的"赏金三部曲":<一把金币>(A Fistful of Dollars);<为了多几块金币>(For A Few Dollars More);<好坏丑>(The Good,The Bad and The Ugly)中,世界电影音乐史上首次出现了粗砺,潇洒的小号主题;空寂,辽远,漫不经心的口哨独奏;甩鞭声,由男声合唱出的戏谑音效;和加弱音器的小号怪诞,调侃的音色.令人耳目一新,给世界各地的观众留下了深刻的印象.
Ennio Morricone和Sergio Leone合作完成的"往事三部曲"更是人类电影史上不可超越的三座丰碑.无论是1972年的<革命往事>(Once Upon A Time: TheRevolution);1984年的<美国往事>(Once Upon A Time In America);还是1968年的<西部往事>(Once Upon a Time in the West),全都饱含着Ennio大师无与伦比的美妙音乐,观众们很难忘记那动人心魄的排萧独奏;那凄厉哽咽,刺人心肺的口琴声;更难忘记那牵动着人类共有怀旧情结,仿佛飘过了无限时空的女高音无言哼唱......这些迷人的音色,流畅的旋律以及隽永的风格,对世界各国无数的影片产生了巨大影响.
进入20世纪90年代以后,高龄的Ennio大师依然佳作不断,显示出令人叹服的持续创作实力.他与意大利导演Tornatore合作的7部影片当中,诞生了<天堂影院><天伦之旅><海上钢琴师><西西里的美丽传说>等众多经典配乐.
Ennio Morricone也许是二十世纪最伟大、最多产的电影配乐大师。我们已经无法计算他创作了多少部电影的配乐，大概有差不多500部，几乎任何风格的电影都有他的创作足迹。所以当我们被他神奇的电影音乐所感染的时刻，让我们记住这个伟大的音乐家的名字–Ennio Morricone。
他创作的音乐风格极其多样化，种类可谓繁多至极，从古典、爵士到电子、摇滚都在他的音乐作品中有所体现，他曾因《天堂之日》(Days of Heaven)、《教会》(The Mission)、《铁面无私》 (The Untouchable)、《豪情四海》(Bugsy)、《真爱伴我行》(Malena)五次荣获奥斯卡原着音乐提名奖。
Morricone的音乐具有深刻的含义和浪漫的气质，更使得他的音乐能够和电影塑造的气氛融合的恰到好处，他尤其注重听者内在感情的细腻变化，让听者内心产生共鸣，而大师对于音乐的深刻理解和把握更令人肃然起敬。
