萨拉修女的两头骡子 (1970)

《萨拉修女的两头骡子》是一部由唐·西格尔执导的美国意大利面条西部片,克林特·伊斯特伍德在塞尔吉奥·莱昂内 (Sergio Leone) 的《美元》三部曲中大获成功后,主演了他最受欢迎的早期主角之一。这部电影的背景是美国内战后的墨西哥,伊斯特伍德扮演前士兵霍根。霍根救出一名被土匪强奸的妇女,并发现这名女子是一名修女萨拉修女(雪莉·麦克莱恩饰)。萨拉正在筹集资金帮助墨西哥革命者对抗法国占领军,她说服霍根带她去墨西哥营地; 这对不匹配的搭档穿越沙漠,必须克服各种威胁和障碍才能实现目标。

《萨拉修女的两头骡子》是莫里康内在公认的好莱坞制片厂系统内与美国导演合作的首批电影之一,因此可以被认为是具有里程碑意义的配乐。值得庆幸的是,这些新环境丝毫没有削弱莫里康内的创造力。配乐很大程度上植根于他为塞尔吉奥·莱昂内、塞尔吉奥·科尔布奇等人创作的意大利面条西部声音,并且与人们所期望的一样古怪和独特。“主标题”介绍了两个主要主题; 第一个是吉他、长笛和整个管弦乐队的广泛、冒险的主题,并具有乐谱的噱头——一种旨在模仿骡子嘻嘻声的器乐颤动; 第二个是沉浸在天主教宗教音乐中的礼仪合唱主题,作为萨拉修女本人的主题。

主要的冒险主题在整个乐谱中定期出现;“The Braying Mule”提供了一个更奇特的编曲,在混音中加入了马林巴琴和吱吱作响的打击乐,而“The Cool Mule”则让长笛演奏变得更加华丽和印象派,通常听起来很即兴。

萨拉修女的主题也有几个可爱的回归。在“A Time for Miracles”中,合唱主题为不同的器乐合奏重新编排,并包括一个非常华丽的轻快吉他插曲。“沙漠之夜”对主题进行了略显遥远的怀念,其中旋律从华丽的西班牙吉他到飘动的短笛,以及使用温暖浪漫的木管乐器而不是人声的主题变化。音乐会上旋律的主要陈述是“萨拉修女的主题”,它再次使用诱人的原声吉他和优雅的木管乐器作为主要织体。

配乐的其余部分以莫里康内独特的动作和悬疑音乐为主,以强调霍根和萨拉在旅途中面临的各种危险遭遇。“The Swinging Rope”和“La Cueva”偏爱紧凑的弦乐句、刺耳的木管乐器、充满张力的吉他、紧张的嘎嘎作响的打击乐和弹奏的班卓琴。“The Battle”是配乐的主要动作场景,大胆的号角、旋转的弦乐和武术打击乐的奇妙而生动的爆发,导致“主标题”的重演结束。

这张专辑由 La-La Land Records 于 2020 年发行,作为 2 张 CD 套装的一部分,提供了两个版本的乐谱:第一个是 1970 年原始黑胶唱片发行的乐谱的直接重新发行,第二个是按时间顺序重新制作的乐谱扩展,包含几个以前未发行的提示,将运行时间增加了半个多小时。《萨拉修女的两头骡子》显然不是莫里康内最好的西部配乐之一,但它仍然很有趣,而且从历史的角度来看也很有趣。

ENNIO MORRICONE REVIEWS, Part 10-100

TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA (1970)

Two Mules for Sister Sara is an American spaghetti western directed by Don Siegel, starring Clint Eastwood in one of his most popular early leading roles following his success in Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy. The film is set in Mexico just after the American Civil War, and sees Eastwood playing Hogan, a former soldier. Hogan rescues a woman from being raped by bandits, and discovers the woman is a nun, Sister Sara (Shirley MacLaine). Sara is raising money to assist Mexican revolutionaries fighting against French occupying forces, and she convinces Hogan to take her to the Mexican camp; the mismatched pair sets off across the desert, and must overcome various threats and obstacles to reach their goal.

Two Mules for Sister Sara was one of the first films where Morricone worked with an American director within the recognized Hollywood studio system, and as such can be considered something of a landmark score. Thankfully, these new surroundings didn’t dampen Morricone’s creativity at all; the score is very much rooted in the now-established spaghetti western sound he created for Sergio Leone, Sergio Corbucci, and others, and is just as quirky and idiosyncratic as one would expect. The “Main Title” introduces the two main themes; the first is a broad, adventurous theme for guitars, flutes, and the full orchestra, and which features the score’s gimmick – a little instrumental flutter intended to mimic the sound of a mule’s hee-haw; the second is a liturgical choral theme steeped in Catholic religious music that acts as a motif for Sister Sara herself.

The main Adventure theme appears regularly throughout the score; “The Braying Mule” offers an even more peculiar arrangement that adds marimbas and creaking percussion to the mix, while “The Cool Mule” allows the flute performances to become even more flamboyant and impressionistic, often sounding wildly improvised.

There are also several lovely returns to Sister Sara’s theme. In “A Time for Miracles” the choral theme is re-orchestrated for a different instrumental ensemble, and includes a very gorgeous interlude for lilting guitars. “Night on the Desert” offer a slightly distant, wistful take on the theme, wherein the melody jumps around from florid Spanish guitars to fluttering piccolos, and a variation of the theme that uses warm and romantic woodwinds rather than vocals. The main concert statement of the melody is “Sister Sara’s Theme,” which again uses inviting acoustic guitars and elegant woodwinds as dominant textures.

The rest of the score is dominated by Morricone’s idiosyncratic action and suspense music to underscore the various dangerous encounters Hogan and Sara face on their journey. “The Swinging Rope” and “La Cueva” favor tight string phrases, shrill woodwinds, tension-filled guitars, nervous rattling percussion and strummed banjos. “The Battle” is the score’s major action set piece, a fantastic and vivid eruption of bold horns, swirling strings, and martial percussion that leads into a reprise of the “Main Title” to close.

The album, released by La-La Land Records in 2020, offers two versions of the score as part of a 2-CD set: the first is a straight re-issue of the original 1970 vinyl LP release of the score, the second is a re-mastered expansion of the score in chronological order, containing several previously unreleased cues that increase the running time by more than half an hour. Two Mules for Sister Sara is clearly not one of Morricone’s better western scores, but it’s fun nevertheless, and is interesting from a historical point of view.
