Poirot Theme Music: Piano Arrangement

My version of Christopher Gunning's famous theme music for the highly successful Agatha Christie TV series set in the 1930s with it's colourful characterizastions and period details. I had not realized that English composer Gunning was not only a film and TV composer but wrote no less than 11 symphonies, concertos and other works, many of which have been performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He only recently died March 2023.
In my version to keep things simple and stay in Gm rather than venture into G#m, I add a short variation to the theme to end. So it's short and sweet! The fingering is not given but needs to be worked out (or look at mine on slow mo.) to enable legato with minimum pedal. www.mediafire.... #poirot #piano

A great arrangement and performance of this very interesting and effective theme tune. I had never heard of Gunning, but I'm glad you have brought him to my notice! With best wishes, Paul

I love this theme Steve 👌🏻 I think it’s such a clever, atmospheric piece of music that seemed to sum up the whole character of its protagonist. I remember being as surprised when reading the volume of the output of the composer. You say your arrangement is simplified but its beauty is that you have cleverly maintained the main structural elements and it has not lost anything. A very civilised way to start the evening. Great stuff - best - Gareth 👏🏻
