Composed by Carl Johnson. Arranged by Jonathan Snyder. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Chamber, Film/TV. 13 pages. Jonathan Snyder #1406125. Published by Jonathan Snyder (A0.1846540).This arrangement of the iconic theme from Gargoyles captures the dark, dramatic atmosphere of the beloved animated series while showcasing the rich tonal palette of the double reed family. Originally composed by Carl Johnson, the music’s bold melodies and cinematic character translate naturally to the distinctive blend of oboes and bassoons.
Scored for 3 Oboes, English Horn, 3 Bassoons, and Contrabassoon, the arrangement explores the full color range of the ensemble. Musical material is thoughtfully distributed throughout the group so that each instrument plays an engaging and meaningful role in the overall texture. From soaring melodic statements to darker harmonic layers in the low reeds, the piece takes advantage of the expressive depth and dramatic power of the ensemble.
This arrangement was commissioned for and premiered at the 2026 Double Reed Day at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, written specifically to highlight the unique color and versatility of a large double reed ensemble. It is well suited for advanced high school and collegiate double reed choirs and studio ensembles.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
