Written for percussion ensemble and solo flute, Clockwork 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. The piece makes for a great opportunity to share a more contemporary compositional device with your ensemble.
