Question

This composer developed the pseudo-serialist “micro cell” technique as a member of the New Consonance Improvisational Group. An anvil, a bell, a whip, and a recorder playing rapidly descending sixteenth notes accompany chants of “wind and fire” in a piece by this composer modeled on “Degüello” (“deh-GWEH-yoh”) by Dimitri Tiomkin. This composer and Joan Baez (“BUY-ez”) paid tribute to Sacco & Vanzetti on the song (10[1])“Here’s to You.” In a piece by this composer, the English horn, and later Edda Dell’Orso’s wordless soprano vocals, play a theme with the notes “short A, long C, short E, long C.” In the opening of a theme by this composer of “Gabriel’s (-5[1])Oboe,” (10[4])the flute (10[1])plays (10[1])a (10[1])two-note trill that mimics (10[1])a coyote’s howl, (10[4]-5[1])followed by a “wah-wah-wah” (10[1])sound. For 10 points, name this composer (10[2])of “The Ecstasy of Gold,” part of the score (10[3])to (10[1])Sergio Leone’s “spaghetti (10[1])western” The Good, (10[1])The Bad, and (10[1])the Ugly.
