“Once Upon a Time in the West” (Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod) is the soundtrack to the 1968 western epic of the same name by Sergio Leone.

The music was written by the legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone and is one of his most famous and influential works. The soundtrack contains iconic melodies and motifs that perfectly capture the mood and atmosphere of the film. The main theme, which is played by a harmonica, is particularly well-known. This theme was later used in numerous films, television shows and commercials and has become a trademark of spaghetti western music. Ennio Morricone created an impressive soundscape for “Once Upon a Time in the West”, which had a lasting influence on the western genre and made his music an integral part of the film. The soundtrack is often regarded as one of the best works in the history of film music.
