The Addams Family Theme Tune by Vic Mizzy
Arranged for Clarinet Quartet by Hugh Levey

The ghoulish Addams Family made their debut in the classic 1960s television show of the same name. The show was a macabre comedy about the close-knit Addams family and their butler Lurch. It was a great hit, having many reruns and some sequels, a 2019 animated film, and the 2022 Netflix TV series about Wednesday Addams.
The enduring theme tune was written by self-taught composer and Hollywood veteran Vic Mizzy (1916-2009). Mizzy started writing songs in the 1930s, eventually moving into the world of television and film in 1959. The Addams Family Theme is really unusual because it features the harpsichord; an early keyboard instrument more commonly associated with the late Renaissance and Baroque period of music. Furthermore, it may be the only harpsichord music that has ever been accompanied by finger-clicks.
There is no harpsichord in this arrangement for Clarinet Quartet, but there are finger-clicks. It opens with The Addams Family theme in its standard form, then takes a detour into a jazzy style, before combining the two. At the end it gets quieter and quieter before ending on a truly scary discord!
