The Mission

An absolutely astounding piece here, created for the 1986 film, The Mission by Ennio Morricone. The oboe piece, a memorable tune, was used in the film when the Jesuit missionary performed the beautiful melody on his oboe and subsequently gained the trust of the natives. The flute piece that follows is also nothing short of beautiful.

In this video, Ennio Morricone conducted a number of pieces from The Mission at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
