 It contains a Powerful and stirring main theme which can be heard in varying arrangements throughout  the complete score.

 Morricone's score was an important feature throughout the movie, at times the music running almost continuously, punctuating the antics of the oppressed and wrongly accused Mexican peasant rogue. Cuchillo.(Tomas Milian) who was being pursued by lawman Johnathan Corbett (Lee Van Cleef).

 In this score you can find pounding percussion that accompanies shrills and shrieks that mimic animal sounds in the opening section of the film's main theme, these give way to thundering kettledrums that herald a slower paced percussive interlude which acts as support to the marvellous voice of Edda Dell Orso, who performs the film's principal theme with ease and perfection. This part of the composition builds to a crescendo that in turn leads into a full working of the theme on brass, accompanied and embellished by strings, percussion and choir, that carry the piece along to its thundering and dramatic conclusion.
