Product Description
Grandfathers Clock
by Henry A Work
with Hickory Dickory Dock
arranged for concert band by Stephen R Dalrymple
My Grandfathers clock was written in 1876 by Henry Clay Work (written in England by an American author.) Our first print record of the poem Hickory Dickory Dock is in 1744. The origin of the music is lost in history.
The teaching point of this piece is to instruct the young band how to switch back and forth from duple and triple time signatures. My method is to count the triplet or duplet inside a pulse (instead of counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). This helps solidify the basic nature of 6 8 time in the student.
The Percussion section has a critical role in the piece.
