Ennio Morricone - Ennio Morricone's Christmas Soundtrack (2025)

Ennio Morricone's Christmas Soundtrack is a thematic compilation released by Universal Music Enterprises for the 2025 holiday season. The album serves as a collection of the Maestro's rare and lyrical compositions, selected for their spiritual and contemplative mood.

The centerpiece of the album is the score from "I Magi Randagi" (The Wandering Magi, 1996, dir. Sergio Citti), a modern parable about the birth of Christ. Tracks such as "La storia dei magi randagi" and "Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle" (a classic Italian Christmas carol arranged by Morricone) set the tone for the entire collection. The release also includes compositions from the dramas "La Venexiana" (1986, dir. Mauro Bolognini) and "Jona che visse nella balena" (Jonah Who Lived in the Whale, 1993, dir. Roberto Faenza). Unlike traditional holiday albums, this release focuses less on festivity and more on the bright melancholy and grandeur characteristic of Morricone's style.
