DESCRIPTION

Allonsanfn is a 1974 historical film written and directed by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani; set in 1816 in Italy during the Restoration period, its cast features, among others, Marcello Mastroianni, Lea Massari, Laura Betti and Mimsy Farmer.

Allonsanfn is the first collaboration between the two directors and Morricone, who would also compose the music for the film Il prato (The Meadow, 1979). The soundtrack starts with a main marching theme, Rabbia e tarantella, introduced by the piano and reworked in a thrilling way by the full orchestra; Giuseppe Tornatore liked it so much that in 2009 he asked Morricone to write a similar musical theme for a sequence of the film Baara. This motif is alternated with the bucolic passages for flute and orchestra of Ritorno a casa, the festive Dirindindin, the classical piece Te Deum Laudamus for orchestra and choir and Frammenti di sonata for solo violin and small ensemble.

This score was only partially issued on vinyl in 1979, and subsequently only on CD; for the first time, then, its here released on clear red vinyl in an extended version, including a 30x30cm insert. Liner notes and audio remastered by Claudio Fuiano.
