Mancini always sounds introspective/sad/reflective?
I mean, I agree he did that brilliantly and my favorite Mancini score is actually Wait Until Dark...but he wrote plenty of silly tuneful (and wonderful) comedy scores that really didn't have much of this aspect IMO.

I'd love to be able to claim that "Natasha's Theme" really sounds like Hank letting his combover down, but Mancini always sounded like Mancini: introspective, sad, and reflective. It's what I love about his music, but it's also what keeps me as a listener at arm's length from totally embracing his work. To some degree, Mancini's music has always depressed me, though the beauty and fragility of his music never ceases to impress.
The beauty of Mancini's music cannot be denied. His melodies and orchestrations are just beautiful. One perfect example is Soldier In The Rain....but he can also create thrilling and/or dramatic music. Main titles to Charade, Hatari!, Peter Gunn many more, plus countless cues. He did it all and wonderfully!
