Browse piano sheets by Andrea Morricone on Zen Virtual Piano. Andrea's initial music studies were under the direction of his father, the composer Ennio Morricone, and his brother is the director Giovanni Morricone. He took his composition diploma at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome in 1994 and studied conducting there with Bruno Aprea, finishing in 1996. He says that since childhood he has thought of his music as a continuation of the torch his father lit and carried, with deep respect for his father as a legendary composer. A diploma from the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in 1994, beside his remark that he has thought of his music as a continuation of the torch since childhood, may suggest formal training that grew out of a long-held aim. His film career dates from 1988, when he worked with his father on the soundtrack of Giuseppe Tornatore's Nuovo Cinema Paradiso. The love theme he composed for it later received the BAFTA award in 1990. A film career dating from 1988, beside work for Italian and American productions from 1997, may point to a career that widened beyond the family collaboration. With his father he has written the scores for seven films, and since 1997 he has composed for many Italian and American film and television productions. In 2010 he wrote the original music for a musical, The Mission, based on Robert Bolt's screenplay; he is also credited with more than 30 film scores and music for theatre, television, radio and electronics. He says he is for the recovery of melody and theme, a choice made with awareness and determination. His initial studies under his father, beside his presence at the 2020 performance where his father received a Lifetime Achievement Award, may hint that the family tie runs through both his training and his public appearances. His conducting has taken him to concerts from Los Angeles and London to Moscow and Venezuela, and in 2020 he joined a special performance when his father was given a Lifetime Achievement Award. He says that when he conducts, he composes the sound on the spot, shaping it through the musicians. Conducting around the world while also writing film scores may suggest a career that moves between the concert stage and the screen. He says Sting liked one of his pieces and sang it, and that he went to Sting's home for lunch. At the 58th Zlín Film Festival, during the May 29, 2018 premiere of 72 Hours in Bangkok, he received the Golden Slipper, in recognition of his contribution to world cinematography. An award for one theme and an award for his contribution to world cinematography may suggest recognition of both a single piece and a wider body of work.
