Sad tune throughout the film.


Does anyone know the name of the song sang whilst Tuco is being tortured? I remember it from my childhood and always found it very haunting?

reply

If its the one where the prisoners are playing and told to sing/play louder when Tuco is screaming out in pain then the song is 'The Death of a Soldier and yes it is pretty haunting.

Actually there were two songs on the soundtrack that sounded similar. I think the song being played by the prisoners when Tuco is being tortured is The Story of a Soldier. I might be wrong but that is my recollection. The Death of a Soldier is played after the battle at the bridge when Blondie comforts the confederate soldier as he is dying. Again, I might be mixed up on this.

Both very powerful scenes with very powerful music.

Thank heavens for Ennio Morricone. Truly one of the best composers of all time.

Not film composers.

Composers.
