Series: Esprit Marching Band
Format: Softcover
Score & Parts
Composer: Henry Mancini
Arrangers: Will Rapp, Paul Murtha

Slinky, yet sophisticated, this jazzy theme remains one of Henry Mancini's best! Paul's chart provides a nice mix of full band passages along with dynamic contrasts and a feature spot for woodwinds on the melody.
MOON RIVER/MR. LUCKY
Series: Esprit Marching Band

This production number combines two of Henry Mancini's best-known melodies. “Moon River” opens with a trumpet solo before expanding to a majestic statement in 4/4. Then “Mr. Lucky” takes over in a smooth bossa style, and concludes with a dramatic big ending.
BABY ELEPHANT WALK/PETER GUNN

Format: Softcover
Score & Parts
Composer: Henry Mancini
Arrangers: Will Rapp, Paul Murtha

In this well-paced production the woodwinds and mallet percussion are featured on the famous melody of “Baby Elephant Walk.” Following a rock-style drum break, the low brass lead us into the ultimate spy theme “Peter Gunn,” with the full band blazing to an exciting finish.
