While Western movies are defined by many iconic tropes, from the formidable antihero to the vast frontier landscapes, the soundtrack of timeless Western movies also plays an important role in tying the entire film together. In the Golden Age of the Western genre, composers like Max Steiner and Dimitri Tiomkin created iconic sounds for frontier life by incorporating recognizable anthems. Later, Ennio Morricone’s eclectic experimentation in Leone’s films forever associated this avant-garde style with the iconic imagery of the lawless West.
