I Want to Be One of Them

A number of years ago a friend suggested I listen to "Gabriel's Oboe" on one of Amy Grant's Christmas albums. Then a few years after that I found this version and discovered it was part of Ennio Morricone's score for the motion picture, The Mission. There is no other rendition, as far as I'm concerned. I believe that is Morricone himself conducting, and what I would give to actually find an entire performance recording from this group of musicians, the way they play as a single body, their interpretation and grace.

I believe this version includes a frame or setting that is from the original score in addition to the melody of "Gabriel's Oboe."
Hope you enjoy.
