Timepiece

This piece started life as the first movement of 'The Sands of Time', a commissioned work for clarinet choir. Because of the time limits of the commission I could not develop the material as much as I had wanted to. I rescored it for wind band and included it as the first movement of a suite, but it did not sit well there because of its difficulty.

Now re-worked and extended, the driving rhythms and many changes of time that give the piece its name are now balanced by a quieter, tranquil central section in 3/4. It is not easy, but most of the difficulty lies in the reading of the music rather than in any particular technical problems.
