About
Reba Wissner discusses the music of “Peter Gunn” (1958-1961), the first television series that implemented original scoring rather than library music for every episode. “Peter Gunn” was also the first television score to employ jazz throughout, pioneering a new style of television scoring. Wissner traces Henry Mancini’s compositional process vis-à-vis the directorial decisions of Jack Arnold and shows how a study of the music can lead to insights about Mancini, the directors and the series as a whole. The talk was co-sponsored by the American Musicological Society.
