Atomic Clock

Atomic clocks are the most accurate clocks in the world. This exciting piece, now available in flex format, challenges students to be the most accurate performers by maintaining a steady pulse. Using only six notes, the piece generates energy and excitement through the incorporation of interesting harmonic and melodic tension and release. Students engage in tactile performance while clapping the beat and playing the melody as it is traded throughout the ensemble. The legato section offers a chance for students to perform expressively before the powerful melody and rhythm drive the piece to a dynamic conclusion.
