Hi Mark. Morricone explains in In His Own Words that, after playing “Pastures of Plenty” for Leone,

he told me that the music was perfect and insisted that we keep everything, including the choral interpolations. Thus, I kept the same musical background and wrote a new melody for it, which Alessandroni whistled and D’Amario then played on the electric guitar. I also preserved the choir’s bridge, but I at least had enough insight to change the words a little: “with the wind” became “wind and fire” (pp. 26-27).

Can you discern from Fistfull’s opening titles theme what the periodic chant is? It sounds to me like “we can work” or something similar. Please advise, and thanks.
