Christopher Gunning (1944-2023)

Truth be told, I didn't know much about Christopher Gunning any more than I knew about Vangelis, Burt Bacharach, Artie Kane or Angelo Badalamenti, far more well-known (at least on this side of the pond) composers. However, there is a very good reason that I'm eulogizing Christopher Gunning:

I was more than likely flipping around when I first ran across the opening of "Agatha Christie's Poirot". That theme music was truly something else. Back in the olden days when soundtrack download sites were common, I managed to score a download of the soundtrack to the show. That CD-r was very treasured to me and it wasn't until last year that I came across a physical copy of the album. The disc really shows off Gunning's versatility and that he was possessive of some impressive little grey cells of his own.

He will be missed.
