His scores may not be full blown symphonic but his tunes are very catchy and still stand the test of time.

* It's a lesser-known piece from Mancini but "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC8FNDXgCnA Lujon]]" -- named after the instrument featured in the recording -- is a sweepingly romantic number. It was even featured in ''Film/TheBigLebowski''.

An ellipsis is three full stops, not four, and even leaving aside whether "arguably" belongs on this page, "very" is Word Cruft of the "bogus intensifier" (or perhaps "bogus qualifier" in this case) variety.

It shifts between multiple different moods from triumphant to nerve-racking, all without letting up tension and matching what's on screen perfectly.

* For a time, Mancini also composed themes for [[Creator/{{NBC}} NBC News]]; composing their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-qhX_Ps5XI theme for the NBC Nightly News]] during [[TheSeventies the late 1970s]]. However, he saved his best work with NBC for their ElectionNight coverage with this classic theme called "[[https://youtu.be/LQ8dPRhuE1s Salute to the President]]" used from [[LongRunner 1976 until 1992]].

This page isn't for examples of bad music. It's for examples of good music.


* Averted, however, with his last piece of work- the theme to the infamous 1990 revival of ''Series/TicTacDough''- not a very good theme at all, game show or otherwise.
