ClockWork takes the audience inside the mechanisms that operate a simple clock. While the dial seems to inch its ways around a circle, there are many different gears under the hood that all varying in size. These gears cycle around and because of their size, they turn back their original axis at different times. Taking this element of rotation and phasing, ClockWork takes a similar approach with the gears with both phrasing and rhythm. One of the great composers who has perfected this technique of layering different rhythms on top of each other was Igor Stravinsky. ClockWork's main inspiration comes from one of Stravinsky's greatest works, The Rite of Spring. It translates the language and compositional technique for a trumpet octet. This creates an energetic work that uses momentum to continuously drive the piece to a seemingly never ending build to the climax.

When the tension is held, it becomes more unstable.\n\nWhen we exhale, our body quickly releases the tension and simply lets the air flow out. This creates a soothing state of mind. When put to the extreme however, our body begins to compress the air and create more tension.\n\nThis is represented physically in the piece with the single extended tone resonating for a long period of time, representing holding a breathe. Same with the idea of compression at Measure 80 with the increase of tension inward.\n\nThe piece takes these two ideas of inhale and exhale and combines them to make a concrete message of tension and release.

The light shines faintly through the dark atmosphere. However, it adds definition to the fog and smoke.

The second movement, Voyage, depicts the epic clash between the formidable world serpent, Jörmungandr, and Thor Odinson. This battle was the finale of Ragnarök, giving the end of the nine realms. Enveloping the vast expanse of the world, the colossal serpent gave rise to an epic confrontation of unparalleled magnitude, ripping the world apart.

The soloists should by themselves and the choirs should be on opposite sides of the each other. However, variations of the setup are allowed for more antiphonal effects.All Bb Trumpet parts are allowed to be performed on C Trumpet if the group decides to switch.\n\n","shortInstrumentList":"8 Trumpets, 2 Flugelhorns","coverImage":"/cover-images/vision-over-the-horizon.png","compositionType":"Composition","pageContent":null,"pageContentHtml":null,"performedBy":"ASU Trumpet Choir; Multi-Track, Multi-Track; ASU Trumpet Choir","createdTime":null,"lastEditedTime":null}],"otherArrangements":[],"audioToComp":[{"id":"2418cc9f-36f1-80f7-8bea-c5d69c6d4f9b","type":"relation"}],"videoToComp":[{"id":"2508cc9f-36f1-8042-b3a4-d5822392f122","type":"relation"}],"audioFiles":[{"id":"2418cc9f-36f1-80f7-8bea-c5d69c6d4f9b","title":"ClockWork","type":"Audio","url":"/audio/ClockWork (Final Audio).mp3","movementTitle":"","movementNumber":null,"duration":"","fileSize":null,"performanceBy":"ASU Trumpet Choir; Multi-Track"}],"videoFiles":[{"id":"2508cc9f-36f1-8042-b3a4-d5822392f122","title":"ClockWork, Collab with ASU Trumpet Choir","type":"Video","url":"https://youtu.be/tX0BFc8qbfg","movementTitle":null,"movementNumber":null,"duration":"","fileSize":null,"performanceBy":"Multi-Track; ASU Trumpet Choir"}],"scoreVideoFiles":[],"scoreFiles":[],"relatedVideoUrls":[],"relatedScoreUrls":[],"pageContent":null,"pageContentHtml":null,"description":"ClockWork takes the audience inside the mechanisms that operate a simple clock.

Taking this element of rotation and phasing, ClockWork takes a similar approach with the gears with both phrasing and rhythm.
