Composed by Ayn Robbins, Bill Conti, and Carol Connors. Arranged by Adrian Erik Horvath. This edition: pdf, streaming. Film/TV, Jazz, Rock. 105 pages. Adrian Erik Horvath #978913. Published by Adrian Erik Horvath (A0.1395445).This powerful brass choir arrangement of Gonna Fly Now – the iconic theme from Rocky by Bill Conti, Ayn Robbins, and Carol Connors—captures the unmistakable sense of triumph, determination, and cinematic grandeur that has made the piece world-famous.
Originally scored for four trumpets, horn, four trombones, tuba, and drum set, this arrangement has been thoughtfully expanded with an extensive system of optional parts. Multiple transpositions (C, Bb, Eb, F) and clef options are provided across the ensemble, allowing for maximum flexibility in casting and instrumentation.
This approach makes the work highly adaptable to different ensemble sizes and configurations—from full brass choir to more compact or mixed line-ups—while maintaining balance, brilliance, and the driving energy of the original. The result is a versatile yet musically coherent arrangement that can be tailored to the available players without compromising its impact.
With its bold, fanfare-like gestures, strong rhythmic propulsion, and uplifting melodic lines, this arrangement is an ideal choice for concert highlights, ceremonial occasions, or any program that calls for a confident and inspiring musical statement.
