The original theme, composed by Christopher Gunning for the 1989-2013 series, is a masterpiece of aural portraiture. It does not rely on bombast or frantic energy. Instead, it unfolds with a languid, seductive grace, built upon a haunting saxophone melody. The choice of the saxophone—specifically a tenor or alto, with its rich, breathy vibrato—was a masterstroke. It captures Poirot’s Continental sophistication, his outsider’s romanticism, and the melancholy that often lurks beneath his logical surface. The theme’s swinging, syncopated rhythm evokes the jazz age of the 1930s, the very era of Poirot’s greatest cases, while its minor-key inflections hint at the dark secrets and moral ambiguities he uncovers. poirot theme sheet music sax
