If Ennio Morricone was born to produce a soundtrack, other than Cinema Paradiso (and a few more), it was ‘The Mission’ starring Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons and Liam Neeson.
Released in 1986 it tells the story of an 18th Century Jesuit Priest who travels into the depths of the Amazon rainforest to build a mission and convert the local inhabitants.
If one was going to go into the jungle and try and win over a lost tribe you couldn’t do better than start playing ‘Gabriel’s Oboe’. I often wonder how many people started playing the oboe after hearing is as well!
The film is definitely worth a revisit, especially with a new HD/Blu-Ray version available.
So here is a version for piano solo rated at around (UK) Grade 1 or 2 level with a single repeat.
Hope you enjoy!
A simplified version in MIDI file format for Synthesis or similar app will be put on my Patreon.
