      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.

      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.

Even had some Edison Cylinders first thing did with those was donate them to a museum for preservation. Quite a lot is things that are now public domain so no one can complain. People think rap song lyrics are obscene today listen to some of the 1916-1930 lyric. Shave ‘em Dry comes to mind first. Even Cole Porters “Anything Goes” is true today just no f words.

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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
