Ennio Morricone - The Lullabies (Ninna Nanna) (2026)

"The Lullabies (Ninna Nanna)" is a conceptual anthology exploring one of the most intimate yet haunting facets of Ennio Morricone's vast oeuvre. Curated by the Milan-based label Cam Sugar in collaboration with UME, this collection brings together compositions where the lullaby motif serves not only as a soothing element but as a narrative tool for melancholy, innocence, or underlying tension.

The album features rare tracks from films such as Marco Bellocchio's "China is Near" (La Cina è vicina), Roberto Faenza's "Escalation," and Nicolas Gessner's psychological thriller "L'immoralità." The musical style ranges from delicate piano passages and the use of music boxes (carillons) to Morricone’s signature vocal arrangements and light psychedelic ambient textures. This compilation showcases the Maestro's mastery of minimalist forms and his unique ability to imbue simple melodies with profound emotional subtext.
