The gargoyles awaken as darkness of night sets on the horizon, shedding their stone shells to fly the city. They search the streets for evil, giving their all to protect their home. As dawn breaks the gargoyles return to their perches victorious, becoming stone once more.

Enjoy this programmatic work that introduces chromaticism in an accessible way.

Written with student success in mind:

-There are two Percussion 1 parts (advanced and standard). Please select whichever works best for your students.

-There are 2 horn parts, one high and one low. The notes are the same with some displacement of octaves to help with range.

-Measure 46 has a cue for the temple blocks in the Percussion 1 part. This should only be played in the absence of temple blocks.
