Monday March 27th 2017 GOODBYE/ ADDIO Al Grande Maestro , Il "FISCHIO" più Famoso del Cinema Western Alessandro Alessandroni Italian "LEGENDARY" composer and musician. Died on Thank you for the music Maestro and God bless you! The great Italian maestro Alessandro Alessandroni, the famous whistler and guitar player of the Spaghetti westerns died March 26, 2017. He was 92 years-old. Along with his choral group “I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni” he was a major influence on the genre from the outset. I was his whistling we heard on the opening credit sequence of “Per un pugno di dollari/Fistful of Dollars”. His whistling and guitar work were used in numerous westerns as he worked with many of the composers of the day including most often Maestro Ennio Morricone and Maestro Francesco de Masi. Alessandro played multiple instruments, including the guitar, mandolin, mandolincello, sitar, banjo, accordion, and piano, and composed over 40 film scores and countless library music. #alessandroalessandroni #enniomorricone #legendary #italianlegend #italiansoundtrack #perunpugnodidollari #ilfischio #mahnamahna #sergioleone #rip #icantorimodernidialessandroni #eddadellorso #giallofever #spaghettiwestern #spaghettiwesterns #westernallitaliana (presso Cinecittà , Lazio, Italy)
