Everyone commenting on the tuba player, he is insanely fantastic. Don't forget the bass trombone is playing the same line all the way from beginning to end as well. Just as amazing!!!
4 minutes of constant play is an endurance test for the drummer, tuba, and one of the trombones. However, there's another bit. They changed their volume so you could hear the soloist. Then ramped up again so you could still hear them when the full ensemble kicked in again. Great stuff. Always has been and always will be.
60 years here-since five years old (1960), when my mother included a Henry Mancini to her collection of vinyl. Mom had great taste in music, and myself and siblings all had a large assortment of music, that influenced us, and made for us to have appreciation of many genres. Thanks mom. RIP
Mark Sides Mancini’s original arrangement featured a wild saxophone solo that might not be tolerated in Qatar. Nevertheless, a pleasing rendition by this orchestra all the same.

Gad, I miss Henry Mancini. His music was like the background music to my life when I was a kid. Every time a new album would come out, I'd be first in line. Best music ever.
This is 🔥, best rendition I've EVER heard, the drums and horns!!! MAGIC! LOVE IT!👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥from Seattle washington USA 👍🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🎶💃🎶💃🎶💃🎶 Sound guy gets a salute!💖👍💪🔥
gia valentini You just jogged my memory! I don't go out for live music all that much (ADHD; don't play well with cacophony 😊) BUT you made me remember that I'd seen Mancini (at Atlanta's Fabulous Fox theater iirc ) AND Carmine Coppola conducting, again iirc, the Atlanta Symphony. Both were absolutely magical evenings. Thanks!
Lol, I was almost born at home because the the "Peter Gunn" show. It was my mother's favorite show and she was watching it when she went into labor with me. Thank God my father wasn't working that night, he had to force her to go to the hospital, a half hour away! I was born not too long after. Whenever I see or hear anything related to Peter Gunn I smile and get a little choked up, my mother has been dead 9 years now and I still miss her so much.
Not only a great theme song, but '"ice cube cool" played by a horn ensemble like this! I fell in love with it as soon as I heard/saw this a few years ago!
My mom went to school with Henry Mancini. In Pennsylvania, Aliquippa High School class of 42. He arranged for the school band and orchestra even before graduation.
This tune and Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs are two of the coolest tunes ever. And I agree with other comments here about the tuba player. He’s a beast. Can’t imagine how hard that was to do.
"CLASSIC!" In 1959 when I was 3 years old, my mom and I would always watch Peter Gunn every week night on CBS. Since then that was always one of my many favorite themes by Henry Mancini. Actually my #1 favorite by him.
Easily adapted and arranged for whatever band or ensemble is playing it. I'm old enough to remember the TV series, although I was just a small youngster. I - even at that young age - was always captivated by this theme song. Written by none other than one of the best in the business, the incomparable Henry Mancini. Although a flute and piano player, Mancini seemed to be enthralled with the sound of the trombone! This music will live on forever.
The trumpet player with the side valve trumpet looks like he could be the younger brother of the drummer. This is the best version of the Peter Gunn theme song I’ve ever heard.
Side valve is the hardest trumpet to play other than a pocket. I switched over straight. But the tuba player has got to have some serious time playing,
@@jean6872 Just that live in front of an audience with no chance for a retake is a whole lot of hours practice more than session musicians with a retake or two available î
@@keeptyrannyfromamerica8519 True. I notice with this performance that the tempo is much slower than the TV show when John Williams was on the piano. I account this on the cumbersome tuba.
Wish we had a "FULL TIME" JAZZ radio station here in KC. Of all places you'd think it would be a given. THANK YOU Mr. Henry Mancini, Qatar Orchestra and RUclips.
The drummer is amazing. I also think the lead trumpet player is incredible. But let's face it, the song wouldn't have been as outstanding without the whole group of these heavenly gifted artist-musicians. Just the BEST !!!
This music is totally Top Gun!! I'm 55 years old, but i started listening and discovering the music of Henry Mancini about 40 years ago. Great orchestration from the Philarminic. Bravo! ❤ Thank you!
Reminds me of when I met the actor who played “Peter Gunn” Craig Stevens, at the North Hollywood Employment Office. A very gracious and classy man. This was after he had just made his last movie (S. O. B.) and retired in 1981.
What I like about this video is that nine of the eleven musicians were late, so the drummer and tuba player started without them. Fortunately, they showed up just in time. Also, the drummer looks and acts like a character in a James Bond movie. I can't tell whether he's the hero or a villain, but then with spies, that's the way it's supposed to be.
There is one language that Transends all language and communication, and that is music. And it connects us all. In all countries and religions, God Bless the Qatar Philharmonic Orogastrica!
Back during a Postal strike, my dad carried mail to (among other places) Henry Mancini's house in Northridge. Apparently the legendary Mancini answered his own door and was a really nice guy.
He lived in Northridge in the San Fernando Valley? I did not know he was so close! I lived in Reseda 1976-1994 and would have liked to have driven past his house.
Upon hearing this rendition by the Qatar Philharmonic brass section, I can only imagine that lovable private eye Peter Gunn swaggering into his favorite watering hole, shooting the breeze with the bartender, and watching his precious songbird Edie Hart warble out a few tunes. Henry Mancini would be proud.
The clarinet soloing over the top of it all on the original is pretty wild. It's the musical equivalent of those Police Squad movies where there's all kinds of crazy stuff going on behind Lesley Neilsen's scene.
Henry Mancini wrote the original music for the Peter Gunn theme of the Peter Gun TV series. His style used one drummer and 10 horns. It succeeded in building feeling suspense and keeping it constant. A unique Henry Mancini sound. He also wrote the music for The Pink Panther, A Shot in the Dark,Love Story, Oklahoma Crude, Theme from Charlie's Angels, The Thornbirds Theme, movies, Days of Wine and Roses, Banzai Pipeline and at least 30 others.
I heard this for the first time and cried for wasted 54 years of my life. I don't know how many years of life is left now but I will listen to this every single day.
SUPERB Men. Amazing Score. Brilliantly played by All. Mancini has always been a hero. His music was what made so many shows have edge. Pink Panther Columbo so many it is amazing. Love this one.
There's a great action drama to stream called Bosch. It's a Michael Connelly novel. The main character has a prized collection of Coltrane albums. It's a great series. But don't binge watch it. Savor it, like you savor a slice of watermelon in summer.
Something my dad and I had in common- we both really liked Henry Mancini's music. Great stuff. We went to see Mancini in concert in the late 60's at Cobo arena in downtown Detroit! Man, you ain't lived until you had live Henry Mancini jazz blasting through, in and around your body! Magnificent!
I hear you. My dad took us to The Hollywood Bowl each year for all the classical music and to the jazz shows they had in the summer. Being outdoors, on the sloping grass with my sisters and dad and feeling those notes pass right through me(but not before they impacted my life!) those are some of my fondest memories. We were originally from Minnesota and the first concert I went to was Louis Armstrong when I was three years old. I do remember parts of it, the lights turning down, feeling the anticipation, the swirling blue smoke that rose from the crowd into the high ceiling and looking at all the track lights....and the spot came on, lighting only Mr. Armstrong and that gleaming trumpet and bright white handkerchief. When he blew that first note, I was hooked.
When I start my 6 hr road trip to see my grandbaby, I crank up my playlist and this song is always first, after I get my latte at Dunkin. Such great music. VL, 1958
I'm 59 and I played trombone in a school band, (well more of a music class that gave concerts at my school), and I remember trying to play Love's Theme by The Love Unlimited Orchestra. The tuba had the same thing during the whole song over and over. He tried, the baritone player tried and I tried. We all go lost in the piece from doing the same notes. Needless to say we never went very far with that one.
Not to take away from the tuba player, and correct me if I am wrong, but it sure seems like the trombone player next to him is playing the same notes. They are right on time! The second trombone player is rather fine, too. This is some badass music!!
I remember watching the show, this is without a doubt the best opening score ever, out of all the shows back in the 50's hands down.
What’s the show?
This theme song has made it through televison, garage bands, and orchestras. What a tribute to Henry Mancini, a true master of his craft.
...and one video game (Spy Hunter) back in the 80s.
And the Blues Brothers’ craziness!!
And I've heard that it was the first song Jimi Hendrix learned to play on guitar
@@baronvonsatan also another video game rock and roll racing
@@baronvonsatan I miss being able to throw oil slicks at people.
Amazing performance. The Drummer keeps everyone in time perfectly. My hat goes off to him.!
Mine goes especially to the Tuba player
Yes especially at the start with that trombone experiencing the delays of standing far away compounded by it's soft attack. Pretty far from the pocket
Your hi-hat?
He's no amateur.
Just so you know, that is the drummer's role...
Everyone commenting on the tuba player, he is insanely fantastic.
Don't forget the bass trombone is playing the same line all the way from beginning to end as well. Just as amazing!!!
Don't forget the drummer. The same measures over and over and over, with little variation.
Pimp status goes to the guy on first trombone though.
Yeah, the drummer works the entire musical piece, but he gets to be seated.
Well, not wishing to disparage anyone, but it seems to me that the bass 'bone has at least one long break
As a trombonist, I applaud the recognition
Man! This never gets old!!! What a tune!
Not done like this that's for sure!! So captivating... ND awfully sexy!!
Correct 💯
Exactly
I need I need I need this!!!
I keep coming back to listen to this version in particular.
4 minutes of constant play is an endurance test for the drummer, tuba, and one of the trombones. However, there's another bit. They changed their volume so you could hear the soloist. Then ramped up again so you could still hear them when the full ensemble kicked in again. Great stuff. Always has been and always will be.
No doubt about it
Well yeah, that's "dynamics" in action for you! That's how we play together and have fun, and make the piece sound good,
Been a Henry Mancini fan for 50 years. Never gets old. I am but the music- never!
Just found my LP of Peter Gunn.
60 years here-since five years old (1960), when my mother included a Henry Mancini to her collection of vinyl. Mom had great taste in music, and myself and siblings all had a large assortment of music, that influenced us, and made for us to have appreciation of many genres. Thanks mom. RIP
I got out my Henry Mancini LP's. Over 30 of them. Bought a new record player to listen to them again.
REMMY MAFIA We’re the exact same age. In my house it was my dad with Bernstein, Brasil 66 and Brubeck. Nice work DAD!
@@tommyron "Take Five" !
Nobody even knows who Peter Gunn was anymore. The music outlived the character.
I remember because I am old. The musicians aced this 👍✔️🙂
If you know, you know!
Yes
Don't tell that to Peter Gunn! (ha)
This best pared down version I've heard, I play it over and over whenever I need a lift. simply delightful.
Mancini is a totally awesome composer and conductor. His music is so easy to relax into.
A musical genius. A modern day Beethoven for the records.

Two teams, the drummer and the tuba and then everybody else. Absolutely perfect!
I've always loved Henry Mancini's music ever since I was a kid. When I was a kid, my parents had, in fact, a cassette of the Best of Mancini.

I'm 59 and I played trombone in a school band, (well more of a music class that gave concerts at my school), and I remember trying to play Love's Theme by The Love Unlimited Orchestra.
The tuba had the same thing during the whole song over and over. He tried, the baritone player tried and I tried. We all go lost in the piece from doing the same notes. Needless to say we never went very far with that one.
@@smfvmdGuitar riffs are not based on breath, for sure. His version is great - more bass and guitar - great horns too.
Great rendition and awesome musicians!
Mancini top shelf stuff amazing brass section great song great stuff
I love this arrangement with just brass and a French horn solo. They all solo great! Thanks.
Anyone remember the arcade game Spy Hunter?
Yes my favorite game of all time.
It was awesome. Played it on my Commodore 64
Very Challenging & Addictive Game--Lost half of my teen age quarters on that game

There was an arcade inside of a "Putt Putt golf and games" when I was a kid, didn't care about the golf and other games, just Spy Hunter.
Love this! It was the Retro Cocktail Hour on Kansas Public Radio *listen on line* that reminded me of this. Great job!
I can't remember the last time *I* saw anyone playing a rotary valve trumpet and there are three of them here.
Captain Jack sounds great dont they
I had never seen one til now
I love them. Would swap my cornet for one any day
Much more common in Europe
Didn't even know they existed until this video. I had to look them up. Very intriguing.
Not to take away from the tuba player, and correct me if I am wrong, but it sure seems like the trombone player next to him is playing the same notes. They are right on time! The second trombone player is rather fine, too. This is some badass music!!
Henry Mancini: One cool cat! Thank you, sir, for this and other tunes!
you know people will remember this for many years versus the latest rap star...and this has class
