Ennio Morricone, OMIR[1] (Italian: [ˈɛnnjo morriˈkoːne]; 10 November 1928 – 6 July 2020) was an Italian composer, orchestrator, conductor, and trumpet player who wrote music in a wide range of styles. Morricone composed over 400 scores for cinema and television, as well as over 100 classical works. His score to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) is considered one of the most influential soundtracks in history[2]

Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine.
Et lux perpetua luceat ei.

Fidelium animae, per misericordiam Dei, requiescant in pace. Amen.

If you’ve ever seen a Modelo commercial, you’ve heard his music.

That score is also played in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, when Tuco is running through the graveyard.

It’s called “Ecstasy of Gold”

Hah! I did not know they were the same, but the modelo commercials did sound VERY familiar to me.
I hope the guy died happy knowing that long after him, even if people don't know where his music came from, they all know his music.

He also composed the tune at the end of American Sniper.

“The Funeral”

Metallica has used Ecstasy of Gold since the 90’s as their intro music. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know the man’s music.
