"Gabriel's Oboe" is the main #theme for the 1986 film #TheMission, with #RobertDeNiro, #JeremyIrons, #LiamNeeson and directed by #RolandJoffé. The theme was written by #ItalianComposer #EnnioMorricone, and has since been #arranged and performed several times by artists such as #YoYoMa, Holly Gornik, and #BrynjarHoff, among others. The theme has been called "unforgettable" and a "celebrated #oboe melody".

this one is quite obscure. At about 50 seconds into the final track ("Pluto, then re-entry to earth") from the #KLF 1990 ambient LP "Space", the strings from #EnnioMorricone's soundtrack to the movie #TheMission swell up from deep in space as our virtual space ship whizzes past. And my heart fills with wonder.

I don't know who the credit goes to - #JimmyCauty for making "Space" or Morricone for his soundtrack. But then that is post-modernism for you, isn't it?
