Time To Time

Performance Notes

 TIME TO TIME is a cut-time piece.  This piece is best suited for elementary- to middle school level ensembles.  Rhythmically, TIME TO TIME consists of ¼, ½ and whole rests and ¼ notes.

 This piece is purposely in cut-time to give the feel of rhythmic sophistication.  The various accented patterns give the piece syncopation, sometimes a feeling of ¾ meter, as found at the beginning of letters B, C and the last 4 measures.  Letters E and F consist of interdependent, linear figures, the softest parts of this piece. Letter F builds and will be reminiscent of the guitar riff from the popular song “Oye Como Va,” performed by the group Santana.  The cowbell at letter G serves as the tempo reference for counting the many rests frequently occurring amongst the unison figures.

 TIP:  Perform accents with extra emphasis for more dramatic rhythmic effect.
