Clocks and More Clocks

Based on the book by Pat Hutchins and dedicated to the composer’s son, Aaron, this work tells the story of Mr. Higgins who cannot understand why his clocks do not all tell the same time.  As he runs from the living room to the bedroom to the attic, each clock is a minute faster than the last one!   Finally, the clock maker shows him that the clocks are all just right.  Each clock is musically represented by a different set of percussion sounds and at the end all the clocks sound together in a percussion extravaganza!
