The Hunting of the Snark Musical written by Mike Batt often is mentioned as an example how the snark inspired musicians.

However, my favourite Snark composition is The Return of The Snark composed by Arne Nordheim for trombone and tape recorder in the year 1987, Norway. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arne_Nordheim)

Here is a version with trombone only: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi9ezGH9IU8

NYNDK's album, "The Hunting Of The Snark," came out on November 10th, 2009. There is a mix of contemporary classical music and improvisational jazz drawing from Charles Ives, Edvard Grieg, Per Norgard, George Perle, Carl Nielsen, and (here the Snark comes in) Arne Nordheim.

Posted by Robert Bennion in a guestbook as obituary for the late William Maiben, 2012-05-28: >>William composed at one time, a piece called overture to "The Hunting of the Snark" which was first partially performed in a computer music laboratory managed by Dr. Alan Ashton later founder of WordPerfect who was also associated with Vladimir Ussachevsky and other University of Utah musicians, such as Ardean Watts, Ercolino Feretti and later chairman Ed Thompson. The partial work was quite attractive, and William was quite secretive about the score which may still exist. ..."<<
