Ennio Morricone (born November 10, 1928, Rome) is an Italian composer especially noted for his film scores. He has composed the scores of more than 500 films and TV series. Although only 30 of these are for Western films, it is for this work which he is best known. Morricone’s sparse style of composition for the genre is particularly exemplified by the soundtracks of the classic spaghetti westerns The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Sergio Leone, 1966) and Once Upon a Time in the West (Sergio Leone, 1968).
He received his first Nastro d’Argento in 1970 for the music in Metti, una Sera a Cena (Giuseppe Patroni Griffi, 1969) and his second only a year later for Sacco and Vanzetti (Guiliano Montaldo, 1971). He received his first nomination for an Academy Award in 1979 for the score to Days of Heaven (Terrence Malick, 1978) and another in 1986 for The Mission, 1987 for The Untouchables (Brian De Palma, 1987), 1991 for Bugsy (Barry Levinson, 1991) and 2001 for Malèna (Giuseppe Tornatore, 2000).
In 2003 he scored the Japanese Taiga drama about Miyamoto Musashi, Japan’s legendary warrior.
In 2005 he was on a world tour with the Roma Sinfonietta Orchestra, touring from cities like New York, Bilbao, Bratislava and Tokyo.
In 2006 the soundtrack maestro is set to make a guest appearance on the Morrissey album Ringleader of the Tormentors, scoring the string part for Dear God, Please Help Me, recorded in Rome’s Forum Music Village Studios.

@villian: in tarantino's own words.. "i steal from every single movie ever made. i love it - if my work has anything it's that i'm taking this from this and that from that and mixing them together. if people don't like that, then tough titty, don't go and see it, alright?" ;)

The title mixup probably comes from the translation of it's original name. The Italian release has the tile as "L'Huomo Dell Armonica", french release "L'Homme à l'harmonica" and the german release "Der Man Mit Der Harmonica". Translated it would be "The Man With A Harmonica" or "The Man With The Harmonica". However official releases in English have it as "Man With Harmonica". Anyone with an original copy of the album, not an mp3 download can verify that! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_the_West_%28Soundtrack%29

ALL english titled album releases from RCA, Ariola, BMG, RCA/Victor state it's "Man With Harmonica". Source: http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=1367 So Bastard1 it's definitely NOT "The Man With A Harmonica".
