Question
This composer’s piano arrangement of Nino Rota’s love theme from Zeffirelli’s film Romeo and Juliet succeeded the Beatles’ “Get Back” as Billboard’s #1 song. A 3/4 song by this composer begins with the melody “long C, short high G, F, [pause] E, eighth notes D - C - B-flat, long C.” An Ernest Dowson poem inspired the two run-on sentences that make up the lyrics to this composer’s song “The Days of Wine and Roses.” The bass chromatically ascends from C-sharp to a long (*) E in swung eighth notes to set up the saxophone melody of a theme by this composer of the soundtrack to Peter Gunn. Johnny Mercer’s lyrics describe a “huckleberry friend” as “wider than a mile” in a song this composer wrote for Audrey Hepburn. For 10 points, name this Italian-American composer of the “Pink Panther Theme,” who wrote “Moon River” for the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. ■END■
