Clockwork

Written for percussion ensemble and solo flute, Clockwork by Stuart P. O'Neil plays on the timbral characteristics found in different types of clocks. Held together by the steady tick-tock of the temple blocks, the piece blends an original flute theme with two iconic clock chimes. This medium-easy arrangement concludes with overlapping ostinati at the players' independent tempi. The effect--imagine being in a clock shop at the top of an hour--is a great opportunity to share a more contemporary compositional device with your ensemble. This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.
