Don’t Play with Gunns-Alto Sax
Don’t Play with Gunns-Alto Sax
Level: Intermediate
The piece was inspired by Henry Mancini’s “Theme to Peter Gunn”. “Peter Gunn” was a TV detective series that ran from 1958-6, best remembered for the Emmy and Grammy award theme composed by Henry Mancini. Mancini was a prolific writer of film and television music from 1960 through to the late 1980s. Perhaps best remembered for his “Pink Panther Theme”, “Baby Elephant Walk” and “Moon River” from the Emmy Award-winning, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.
This arrangement features a short written jazz-inspired solo and a groovy bass line in the left hand of the piano throughout.
Ranges: The Alto Sax part stays between Bb1 and E3. There are few difficult semi-quaver passages but the piece stays for the most part, at an intermediate to advanced level of technique in the sax part throughout.
“Don’t Play with Gunns!” Is an exciting, powerful, and catchy piece that audiences and players alike will enjoy performing!
