The Atomic Clock is the most accurate timepiece in the world. *Atomic Clock* , composed by Chris M. Bernotas, is an exciting piece now available in FLEX format. This composition challenges students to be the most accurate performers by maintaining a steady pulse. Using only six notes, the piece generates energy and excitement by incorporating interesting harmonic and melodic tension and release. Students will engage in tactile performance while clapping the beat and playing the melody as it is traded throughout the ensemble. The legato section offers a chance for students to perform expressively before the powerful melody and rhythm drive the piece to a dynamic conclusion.(1:55) Correlates to *Sound Innovations for Concert Band* Book 1, Level 2.
