Savina, Carlo
La Dove Non Batte Il Sole/un Animale Chiamato
We are pleased to release the OST by Carlo Savina for the Spaghetti Westerns "The Stranger and the Gunfighter" (original
title: "Là dove non batte il sole")and "An Animal Called Man" (original title: "Un animale chiamato uomo")for the
absolute first time on CD, in complete edition.
For "The Stranger and the Gunfighter" Carlo Savina wrote an enjoyable OST lasting 40:08 minutes, dominated by three main
themes. One is a vibrant orchestral motif in Western-style beat for the character of Dakota, the mature gunslinger
played by Lee Van Cleef. It is introduced in the opening credits (Tr.1) and reprised in Tr.10, Tr.13, Tr.21. The second
is an oriental style theme for the character of young Wong-Kiang (Lo) with sounds which are sometimes dramatic and
heroic (Tr.2, Tr.6, Tr.7, Tr.8, Tr.15). And finally a pleasant love theme for Wong-Kiang and the beautiful Lia-Kua,
where the wonderful voice of Edda Dell'Orso (Tr.9, Tr.12) chimes in. There is also no shortage of lounge music like a
pop bossa (Tr.3), action music (Tr.19) and the guaranteed saloon pieces (Tr.11, Tr.18). For this recovery and
preservation, the stereo master tapes from the original recording session were used.
With "An Animal Called Man" Carlo Savina wrote an upbeat OST lasting 24:29 minutes, where an amusing and light hearted
motif comes through. It is introduced in the opening credits (Tr.22), and is then reprised slower and faster (Tr.23),
and as a shake with organ (Tr.27). It is alternated with a romantic love theme with the voice of Nora Orlandi (Tr.25) as
well as with saloon pieces (Tr.24, Tr.28, Tr.30). For this recovery and preservation, the stereo master tapes from the
original recording session were used.
