The composer Ennio Morricone was born today in 1928. To celebrate this day, I’m sharing a clip of an orchestra playing the theme that he wrote for the movie “The Mission”. That musical piece always makes me feel at peace when I hear it and so I included in this post in the hope that it has the same effect on others. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always. You can listen to the piece of music here.
