Chi Mai (Le Professionnel)


"Chi Mai (Le Professionnel)" is a composition by Ennio Morricone, originally written in 1971 for the film Maddalena before gaining wider recognition as the theme for the 1981 French film Le Professionnel. The melody is built around a slow, lyrical phrasing that suits electric guitar beautifully, rewarding players who focus on sustained notes, vibrato control, and expressive dynamics. Its cinematic simplicity makes it an excellent piece for developing a clean, emotive lead tone.

  • Originally composed in 1971, the piece predates its famous use in Le Professionnel by a full decade.
  • A BBC release of the theme reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart in 1981.
  • The melody's slow, legato character makes it ideal for practicing vibrato and sustain on electric guitar.
