Beginning and ending with the "Westminster Chimes" tune, this easy band piece contains many musical and technical elements for performers. Using a tick tock from the percussion section as a base, the main theme is based on ascending and descending scale patterns reinforced with a countermelody and contrasting legato section. Each section is featured and generous cross cues will let bands experiment with different instrumentation choices. An excellent choice for early concert and contest experiences.
