This album compines two soundtracks together. All the tracks are fully
remastered of course.
If the recognition of one's peers is the true measure of success, then
few men are as successful as composer, arranger, and conductor Henry
Mancini. In a career that spanned 40 years, writing for film and
television, Mancini won four Oscars and twenty Grammys, the all-time
record for a pop artist. For 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's alone,
Mancini won five Grammys and two Oscars. Breakfast at Tiffany's
includes the classic "Moon River" (lyrics by Johnny Mercer), arguably
one of the finest pop songs of the last 50 years. At last count, there
were over 1000 recordings of it. His other notable songs include "Dear
Heart," "Days of Wine and Roses" (one Oscar, two Grammys), and
"Charade," the last two with lyrics by Mercer. He also had a #1 record
and won a Grammy for Nino Rota's "Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet."
Among his other notable film scores are The Pink Panther (three
Grammys), Hatari! (one Grammy), Victor/Victoria (an Oscar), Two for the
Road, Wait Until Dark, and 10. His television themes include "Peter
Gunn" (two Grammys, recorded by many rock artists), "Mr. Lucky" (two
Grammys), "Newhart," "Remington Steele," and The Thorn Birds television
mini-series.
As a child, Mancini learned how to play a variety of musical
instruments and as a teenager, he became enamored with jazz and big
bands. He began to write arrangements and sent a few to Benny Goodman,
who wrote the teenager back, encouraging him to pursue a career in
music. Mancini enrolled in the Julliard School of Music in 1942, but
his studies were cut short when he served in the military during World
War II. After the war, he was hired by Tex Beneke, the leader of the
Glenn Miller orchestra, as the as a pianist and arranger. In the late
'40s, he began writing scores for record and film studios, first for a
recording session by the Mel-Tones, which featured his wife Ginny
O'Connor, and then the Abbot and Costello film Lost in Alaska, the
first movie he scored.
Lost in Alaska led to more film scores, in particuar 1954's The Glenn
Miller Story and 1956's The Benny Goodman Story, which both showcased
his big band roots. Soon, he was working on a large number of films and
television, including Orson Welles' Touch of Evil and the TV show Peter
Gunn. Mancini's scores frequently straddled the line between jazz and
Hollywood dramatics, making his music both distinctive and influential.
Mancini's heyday was the early '60s, when his score for Breakfast at
Tiffany's (1961) yielded the Oscar-winning hit single "Moon River,"
which instantly became a pop standard. The following year, he wrote the
music for Days of Wine and Roses, which also won an Oscar for its title
song. Throughout the next three decades, he continued to be one of the
most successful film composers in the world, as well as a popular
concert conductor. He continued working until his death in 1994; just
prior to his demise, he was writing the score for the musical adaption
of Victor/Victoria.
What kept Mancini's work fresh was his ability to write in almost any
style imaginable and his successful experimentations with unusual
sounds and instruments. In his 1989 memoir Did They Mention the Music?,
Mancini's co-author Gene Lees wrote that "More than any other person,
he Americanized film scoring, and in time even European film composers
followed in his path," and that Mancini wrote scores that "contained
almost as many fully developed song melodies as a Broadway musical."
Had he not remained true to his first love, film scoring, Mancini would
have more than likely made as large an impact on the Broadway stage as
he made on the silver screen.
