== Program Notes ==
Written for percussion ensemble and solo flute, Clockwork by [[Stuart 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.


=== Review ===
William Moersch states that "A simple, but effective piece of slightly over two minutes, “Clockwork” provides the opportunity to feature an intermediate flute soloist with a beginning percussion ensemble. The individual parts are basic and repetitive, in ABA form, and requiring no more than two mallets each. The only timpani challenge is pedaling one drum between B-flat, C, B-flat, and A-flat. The title derives from a “tick-tock” motive in the temple blocks, quotes of the “Westminster Chimes” and “Whittington Chimes,” a cuckoo from the flute, and a surprise ending with the various parts going their own way and winding down by the stroke of 12."
