Night Flight of The Gargoyles

Your students will have fun with this dark, contest-style work. Tons of percussion including slapstick, vibraslap, and optional tom-toms, and clarinets playing on the mouthpiece and barrel bring to life this depiction of gargoyles taking off from their perches on building tops for a flight. There is lots of rhythmic activity and your low winds get their fair share of the melody. Make this the "serious" work for your spring program! (2:20)
