A tribute to the recently deceased master of film scoring, with (mostly) audio questions. Some of these audio files run a bit long, so enjoy the great music.

Morricone attended elementary school with one of his eventual professional collaborators, although they didn't stay in contact until more than 20 years after this third-grade picture was taken. Morricone is seen here on the right--identify his colleague on the left.
Not much doubt you know which movie this Morricone theme comes from. But in this and the next two questions, you'll need to identify the CHARACTER associated with the particular arrangement of the theme heard in the associated clip. You can give either the way the character is referred to in the movie's title, or the name that others call them in the film.
Same as question 2, identify the character from their version of the theme heard here.
Same as questions 2 and 3, identify the character from their version of the theme heard here.
The best known of Morricone's themes for ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST is heard in this link in its stripped-down form, but in its fully orchestrated version, which INSTRUMENT prominently identifies it as the theme for Charles Bronson's character? He's also identified in the film only by the name of this instrument, which he always carries around with him.
One of Morricone's Oscar nominations was for his score to this 1986 film. It didn't do very well with critics or audiences at the time, but several of his most widely beloved themes come from its score, including this excerpt that choirs around the world have been singing ever since. Name the movie.
Aside from the numerous spaghetti westerns he worked on, the most widely seen Italian movie that Morricone scored (along with his son, Andrea) was this 1989 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film. Name this affectionate ode to movie-going, whose main theme is heard here.
In this excerpt from INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, when the title characters free the infamous Nazi-killer Hugo Stiglitz to join their ranks, the background music comes from a mid-1960s Morricone score. Name this movie, which gained new fame in recent decades as a gripping portrayal of insurgency and counter-terrorism.
Morricone's only competitive Oscar win was for his score for this 2015 movie. The excerpted clip heard here is titled "Sangue e neve (Blood and snow)" on the soundtrack, an appropriate summation of the movie itself. Name the movie.
This excerpted theme from the '60s spaghetti western NAVAJO JOE was re-used by Quentin Tarantino for the death scene of which of his CHARACTERS? You need to name the Tarantino character, not the film.
Among the Hollywood-produced movies scored by Morricone, one of the biggest box office hits was for this 1987 movie, whose opening credits theme is heard here. Morricone went on to score other films as well for its director, Brian de Palma. Name the movie.
Morricone rarely used the instrument heard in this clip in his scores, but he did to great effect here, as part of one of his main themes for WHICH FILM?
