電影配樂大師 顏尼歐 莫利克奈 ( Ennio Morricone ) 1928 年 11 月 10 日出生於義大利羅馬， 9 歲就讀於聖潔契利亞音樂學院 ( Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia ) 研究所，師承義大利著名作曲家 佩特拉西 ( Goffredo Petrassi )，主修小號 ( trumpet )、作曲、合唱音樂、合唱團指揮。
迄今已經為超過 500 部電影與電視劇配樂，產量之多，作品之豐富，前所未見，甚至連大師 顏尼歐 本人，也無法釐清他一生到底累積多少作品。
2007 年，榮獲奧斯卡金像獎「終生成就獎」( Honorary Academy Award )。
此曲為 顏尼歐 的著名作品「教會」( The Mission )，旋律優美動人極富感情，是我本人非常喜歡的作品，最著名的演奏版本就是與大提琴大師 馬友友 合作錄音的《 馬友友的電影琴緣 》專輯。
這兩部短片上為電影配樂大師 顏尼歐 莫利克奈 本人指揮的管弦樂合唱版本，下為與大提琴大師 馬友友 合作的花絮短片。

"Nella Fantasia"是將電影「教會」的主題音樂"Gabriel、s Oboe"重新編曲並填上義大利歌詞的作品。「教會」的原著音樂是義大利國寶級電影音樂大師顏尼歐莫利克奈(Ennio Morricone)的經典之作，莫利克奈的作品還有「新天堂樂園」、「荒野大鏢客」、「鐵面無私」…等，歷年的榮耀包括了威尼斯影展的終身成就獎以及2 座金球獎、5座英國影藝學院獎。莫利克奈的電影音樂總是能在簡單的旋律中注入深刻的情感，甚至能獨立於影像之外，融入聽者的生活情感之中，就是這樣的旋律特質，讓他的電影音樂作品經常成為流行歌曲創作家譜寫動人情歌的旋律泉源，葛萊美獎提名男歌手喬許的成名曲"You、re Still You"就是改編自莫利克奈金獎提名作品「真愛伴我行」(Malena)的主題旋律。
意大利歌詞
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Li tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.
Io sogno d、anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien、 d、umanità in fondo all、anima.
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro,
Li anche la notte è meno oscura.
Io sogno d、anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano.
Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle città, come amico.
Io sogno d、anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien、 d、umanità in fondo all、anima.
英語歌詞(翻譯)
In my fantasy I see a just world,
Where everyone lives in peace and in honesty.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the spirit.
In my fantasy I see a bright world,
Where each night there is less darkness.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly.
In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
That breathes into the city, like a friend.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the spirit।

"Nella Fantasia" ("In My Fantasy") is an Italian song based on the theme "Gabriel、s Oboe" from the film The Mission (1986). With music by famed composer Ennio Morricone and lyrics by Chiara Ferraù, "Nella Fantasia" is popular among classical crossover singers, and has been performed by numerous artists and groups such as Amici Forever, Celtic Woman (Chloë Agnew), Sarah Brightman, Garðar Thór Cortes, Il Divo and Russell Watson.
"Nella Fantasia" first appeared on Sarah Brightman、s album Eden (1998). On the March 1999 video recording of her "One Night in Eden" concert, when introducing the song she said:[1]
“
My next song was originally an instrumental written by the composer Ennio Morricone for the film The Mission. About three years ago I wrote Mr. Morricone, asking if he would give me permission to turn this particular piece into a song. He flatly refused. So every two months I would send yet another begging letter, until I think he got so sick of me he finally relented. And I am really glad that he did, because I think it works beautifully as a song.
”
In the liner notes of Eden, the lyricist of the song was named as "Ferraù". However, it has been suggested on the fansite Sarahbrightman.co.uk that the Italian lyrics of the song were written by Brightman herself.It is possible that Brightman wrote the lyrics of the song in English and they were translated into Italian by Ferraù. Confusingly, the liner notes of Brightman、s subsequent album The Very Best of 1990–2000 (2001), which also featured the song, state that the composers of the song were Berta Ferraud and Ennio Morricone.[1] It may be that "Berta" is a nickname and "Ferraud" a misspelling.
Later recordings by Il Divo on their self-titled album Il Divo (2004), by Amici Forever on their album Defined (2005), and by Garðar Thór Cortes on his album Cortes (UK release, 2007) confirm that the lyricist of the song is a female composer named Chiara Ferraù.
