The Legend of 1900 (soundtrack)

The soundtrack to the 1998 film The Legend of 1900 was composed and conducted by Ennio Morricone. It features a blend of original compositions reflecting the film's early 20th-century setting and character themes, primarily piano-driven. The music evokes a range of emotions, from the grandeur and mystery of the ocean liner Virginian to the loneliness and virtuosity of the protagonist, Danny Boodmann T.D. Lemon 1900.

The soundtrack gained significant popularity, contributing to the film's overall artistic impact. Several tracks have become widely recognized pieces, often used independently in other media or performed as concert pieces. Morricone's score earned critical acclaim, receiving several awards nominations and winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. Key instruments used throughout the soundtrack include piano, trumpet, strings, and woodwinds, creating a soundscape that is both intimate and expansive. The album was released around the same time as the movie premiere in 1998.
