Carlo Rustichelli - L'Armata Brancaleone - For Love and Gold (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2012) [Hi-Res]

Carlo Rustichelli (Carpi, December 24, 1916 - Rome, November 13, 2004) was the author of hundreds of film soundtracks and will go down in history for his famous friendship with director Pietro Germi and for the "Brancaleone March," a true iconic hymn like the "James Bond" theme" by Monty Norman or "the Raiders March" by John Williams from "Raiders of the Lost Ark". This unforgettable choir motif is introduced by "Branca Branca Branca Leon Leon Leon" and a whistle and is the heart of the background music, which the author reprises with orchestral versions that are sometimes comical and sometimes dramatic- all under the direction of Bruno Nicolai. Two of the other supporting scores are "Pirul" the psalm theme of the pilgrims, and "Cuccurucc" sung by a female voice accompanied by the mandola.
