The soundtrack of “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” was released along with the western film of the same name, released in 1966 and directed by Sergio Leone. The music is composed by Ennio Morricone.

The main theme, which resembles the howl of a coyote, is a two-note melody that is a frequent theme, and is used for the three main characters, with a different instrument for each: flute for Blondie (Man With No Name), Arghilophone (Ocarina) for Angel Eyes, and human voices for Tuco.

Ennio Morricone was a regular collaborator scoring Sergio Leone’s films, participating in others such as “A Fistful of Dollars”, “My Name is Nobody” or “For A Few Dollars More”, but this one, “The Good, The Bad And The Ugly”, has possibly been the one that has acquired the greatest relevance of all, being widely considered one of the most important and most original film soundtracks in the history of cinema.
