The theme song was originally composed by Ennio Morricone as a lullaby. Sergio Leone insisted that he wanted the "deguello" trumpet dirge, played by Mexican troops before a battle to signify to the enemy that there will be no quarter given, that was used in Un dollaro di onore (1959), believing it was a "public domain" piece. Finally, he settled for a "Mexican trumpet" arrangement of the original Morricone piece.
