The fast paced rondo has a Dorian flavored melody with hints of quartel (based on an interval of a fourth) harmony to give it a contemporary sound The players are presented with solo opportunities as well as harmonic turns and twists that will keep them.
Rondo in the Nick of Time was originally the third movement for a woodwind quintet piece that I wrote in 1990. I have always been fond of this little piece and felt that it would adapt well to larger ensembles. I have also scored this piece for band as part of a suite called Upon a New Horizon.The main theme is based on the Dorian Mode. The use of quartal harmony makes up most of the harmonic material. Each statement of the theme is followed by an episode that increases in length each time. There is a sudden change of style and tempo in the middle of the piece, where fragments of the theme are developed. The title is a play-on-words, since the work contains hemiola effects that alter the feel of the time.As with all of my pieces for strings, the bowings are given only as a reference. Feel free to alter them to fit the needs of your students. I have indicated a rather fast tempo for the piece. I really like the piece to fly, but it will work and sound fine at a slower tempo as well. Just endeavor to keep their energy moving forward.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope that you and your students enjoy it and find it useful in your program.-Larry ClarkLakeland, FL. 2005.

Spirited dance figures, catchy melodies in canon, and a majestic chorale will make you want to say, Shiver me timbers! This clever composition by Matt Turner plays to the students love of pirates and sea shanties. This is a great piece to solidify student's understanding of compound meter.
Perform this piece with exuberance! The first part of this piece is composed of various dance figures—sometimes in canon—and dynamics should be strictly followed to ensure that the melody can be heard . The descant (violin I) in mm . 25–36 should be played quietly so that the melody in the second violin and viola parts can be heard . Use much of the bow—think lush and full—in the chorale section beginning in m . 93 . Articulations throughout are particularly important to create a dance-like feel . Enjoy as you set sail on your voyage!
