Clockwork - for percussion ensemble and solo flute

Stuart P. O’Neil

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.
