| Below is a detailed explanation of volumes 1-4 of the Handbook |
| Explanation |
| Handbook Volume 1,2012:This is the first volume of the manual from over 10 years ago. Introduce the life of Morricone and compare several different chronologies. The annual activities of global, especially Chinese enthusiasts, as well as articles by four global Morricone themed website webmasters and important commentary articles published at home and abroad, have recorded the overall understanding and research for this master by many Morricone enthusiasts in China and around the world from a historical perspective. The original book provides a detailed introduction to each movie (including television, the same below) and their original music, based on the 401 chronology directory on Morricone's official website up to 2008. The ISBN number of the paper version of the book is 978-988-16794-2-0, and it can still be found in the Hong Kong government annual report. When its electronic version was released in 2020, a 6-page errata was added, correcting some errors in the official timeline of Morricone's website and presenting some new insights. Until today, it is still a must-have work for every beginner, and for experienced enthusiasts, it also has many important historical materials and great collection value |
| Handbook Volume 2,2021:Master Morricone passed away on July 6, 2020. Volume 2 can be said to be the earliest work about Morricone that appeared in the post Morricone era. The book first collects articles from Chinese enthusiasts who deeply mourn this master, and then shifts its content to a new field: unlike the 410 works on the official website of Morricone in Volume 1, it first studies the 47 FA movies and their music added to the 4th edition chronology; Next, its main content will enter a new field - non original, referencing a total of 453 films in the FB and FC categories by Morricone Music. This comprehensive and systematic entry into such a field is the first of its kind among known works on Morricone worldwide. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned professional, whether you are willing or unwilling. Regarding the relationship between these movies and Morricone. You all need to face, understand, and research. If someone asks you these questions and you shake your head saying it's okay or you don't know, then you can't be considered a seasoned enthusiast! For example: FB1006 The American, FB1201 Django Unchained (Quentin Tarantino),FB1202 I 57 giorni ,FB1204 L'enfant du Sahara / Le fils du désert ,FB1301 The Grandmaster / Yi dai zong shi ,FB1504 The Simpsons (1989- TV Series ) ,FC8801 Miami Vice (1985-1989 TV Series) 云,FC0802 Breaking Bad (2008-2013 TV Series ),FC0803 CSI: Miami (2002-2012 TV Series) / CSI:迈阿密,FC2005 The Trump Show (TV Series documentary) ..... With the passing of this master, this type of work will gradually become mainstream in the future. I believe that such research work should continue for a long time, so that Morricone's excellent works can forever be remembered in the world! |
Handbook Volume 3,2023:The content of this volume can be considered an extension of Volume 2. Differently, its research scope goes beyond the FB and FC categories (related film categories) in Volume 2, but focuses on FU categories that involve many major events in Morricone's life but do not belong to traditional films (including television, the same below) - other related categories such as drama, radio, documents, interviews, and so on. Especially during the 1940s and 1950s, Morricone participated as an arranger in many radio programs, dramas, and television programs, which were an indispensable part of studying Morricone's early artistic career, such as the 1953 television series "Nati per la musica/Born for Music" (FU5301Q). His first work as an original music composer was the 1958 television and radio drama "Le Miserie di Mons ù Travet / The Misery of Mons ù Travet" (FU5802). And subsequent works include "La Pappa reale (Theatre Play)/Royal Jelly" (FU5901), "Il Lieto fine/Happy Ending" (FU5902), "I Drammi marini/Ocean Drama" (FU6001), "Il Rugantino (Theatre Play)/Rugantino" (FU6303), "La Manfrina/Manfrina" (FU6403), "Orgia/Carnival" (FU6801), and so on. After his music career became famous in the 1970s, we can still deeply feel this master's extensive connections and moral support for various social figures through music and friendship as the bond from many FU works. For example: FU7401 "Vi scrivo da un carere in Grecia/I Write in Greek Prison", FU8901 "MUTAC/Museum of Traditional Art of Farmers", FU9301 "Eva Fischer, Pittore/Painter Eva Fischer", FU9501 "Musica per la resistenza (Event)/Resistance Movement Music", FU0101 "Ritratti italiani n. 7: Gillo Pontecorvo/Italian Portrait No. 7: Gillo Pontecorvo", FU0504 "Elio Petri... appunti su un autore/Elio Petri... a Writer's Annotation", FU0505 "Warsaw! Il Comando" Dell'Alba (Theatre Play)/Get up! Command of Dawn ", FU1004" Zylem 17 razy/I Live 17 Times ", FU1502" Stabat mate dolorosa/Our Lady's Lament "......You can see that from workers to farmers, from poets to writers, from prisoners to resistance fighters, from environmental protection to energy, from leftists to religious rituals You can almost see the active figure of this master everywhere. In this sense, he is by no means just a musician. In addition, another important category is advertising. According to existing information, since the first time he composed music for the "Il Californiano/Californian" advertisement in 1969, Morricone has composed music for a total of 56 advertisements, which is also an important part of Morricone's music activities. Therefore, the FU genre is not a general category of "other" works, but a third pillar that is as important as Morricone's film music and absolute music. These non-traditional film works occupy a very important position in Morricone's music career. According to the author's observation, there is a danger of being ignored and marginalized in this type of work at present. A large number of enthusiasts, including the author, pay little attention to such works, even disdain them, and know very little about their content. It is precisely because of these issues that the author had to think twice and finally made up his mind to write the third volume of the "Morricone Enthusiast Handbook" to eliminate this loophole that should not exist. This volume of the Handbook contains a total of 280 works of this kind, It marks the end of an era
for the complete recording, narration, and study of Morricone's film music works. |
| Handbook Volume 4 (Rare Volume),2023:According to the 4th edition chronology of this website, there are a total of 436 films with original music by Morricone. Collecting its original music is relatively easy, and our collection rate can be said to have reached 100%. But for the movies he composed music for, it's not easy. After more than 20 years of effort, through general channels, my collection rate is only about 90%, and about 40 rare works still be lack. In order to achieve a complete collection, since 2018, it has been necessary to accelerate the progress through various other channels such as purchase, exchange, and gift giving. The effect is quite good, and by 2023, another 30 movies have be collected. After I collected these rare resources, a new question arose: how should I dispose of these resources? From their rarity and privacy, they are clearly not suitable for public disclosure; But in terms of their resource value, shelving them and indulging in their own pleasures also goes against my original intention of building the website. After careful consideration and discussion with our main friend, Dr. Lee Jin-weon from South Korea, we have decided to follow the format of the "Morricone Enthusiast Handbook" and edit and publish an additional volume of "Morricone Rare Volumes". We then obtained their Chinese and English subtitles through paid audio subtitle translation and charged them appropriately and reasonably. Provide these resources to enthusiasts in need within a limited scope. This rare book provides a detailed introduction to the plots of these 30 movies (increasing to 37 by 2026). Information and related music. These movies have been shrouded in mystery for many years, reflecting themes ranging from Columbus' discovery of the New World in 1492 to the modern Orient Express, from the high-end brothels on 122nd Street to the Holy Roman Church, from Mussolini's Black Shirt Army to the Soviet KGB, from the murdered Grand Justices to the guardians of the clouds, from Nostromolo's South American rainforest to Pacific Polynesia, from Giotto's art treasures to historic puppetry, from Dr. Grassler in World War I to the sugar cane thieves in World War II, from housewives to supermodels, from ministers, congressmen to real estate developers The content is intricate and interwoven, like a magnificent historical scroll, with both the colorful prosperity of the country and the helplessness and sadness of ordinary people. Morricone's rich and colorful music, as well as the unique use of various instruments, showcase the master's enduring, extensive creativity and adaptability from another perspective. I believe readers will gain many new insights after appreciating and studying these very rare works |
