A Matter of Time

A Matter of Time by Doug Spata is a dynamic piece in E minor that will challenge your middle-level students with mixed time signatures. Simple accompaniments that emphasize a steady beat are subverted by syncopated melodies and 2/4 interjections. The music settles into an even 3/4 in the middle section, but soon ramps back up to an exciting asymmetrical conclusion. Students will love taking on the piece’s rhythmic challenge and teachers will appreciate the emphasis on counting and paying attention!
