How to write “Nostalgic Music”?
Well that is up to you as a composer to choose with your creative freedom, however you can use these keywords as guidelines:

  • Theme Focused
  • Romantic
  • Passionate

PS. A big aspect of these composer challenges is to encourage comments and feedback. The winner will be decided by a poll afterwards. Good luck, and have fun composing music! :slight_smile:

Wait, just to be clear, is it just “nostalgic” or nostalgic in the style of Morricone?

Nostalgic, inspired by Morricone. :slight_smile:

to sound like Ennio Morricone is a big challenge although it just demands a little touch of him
or to give my music the feel of E.M… It is great deal. a lovely melodic line, a melancholic harmonic line and some instrumentations. That´s fine. I get it. A child´s play!

Hello Composers,

I hope you find it as useful, as i do.
Reading this article is amazing, and i just realized how genious he was. I listened to lot of his music, but i never analyzed it. now i did, and i am very impressed.

Can’t wait to hear what you all come up with,

Michael

Interesting article. Some very useful information. I may sit this one out though. I had some initial ideas, but when I though about it a bit more, Morricone doesn’t inspire a feeling nostalgia for me. I think of guys like Max Steiner and Erich Korngold–the old Hollywood sound of the 1940s-50s and movies like Casablanca, Lawrence of Arabia and Spartacus, so I’m thinking about writing a three-part suite in this style.

Good luck to those writing for this contest, I’m really looking forward to hear what you come up with!

Hi, the new topic button is greyed out for me.

Ah sorry Harri, I had made a setting mistake on the section. Should work now! :slight_smile:

Thanks for this - really good article, but it is mainly the western music of Ennio Morricone.
I will listen to the other works he made.

For me it’s actually all the “other” stuff he’s made that I really love.

Hi all,
looking forward to listening all the works. This is actually special, considering the figure of Morricone.

Thanks Mike for this.

You can compose anything that has a “nostalgic vibe”, and is at least inspired by the Ennio Morricone sound. Not a cover.
