Dating back to the 13th century, the clock tower was located in the center of a town and used by townspeople to hear the time through bells and chimes ringing out. There are clock towers all over the world and they are wonderful landmarks to towns and communities. This work begins and ends with the Westminster Chimes theme, which is used by many clocks and clock towers, including Big Ben, the famous clock tower in London. Clock Tower contains many essential musical and technical skills for a beginning level band piece. The tick of the clock mechanism is imitated by pitched woodblocks, and the main theme is based on ascending and descending scale patterns, reinforcing note-reading ability for the beginning student. There are layers of new countermelodies and contrasting sections with dynamics and legato passages, giving the students an opportunity to play in different musical styles. There is a low brass and woodwind feature and a section introducing eighth notes to the upper winds. The sound between the woodwinds and the brass are also important, but many woodwind passages are cued in the brass in case a beginning band might need extra players to help with the balance and blend. This gives the director the opportunity to experiment with these cues and add a few other instruments when needed.

For soprano and baritone soloists, children's choir, adult choir, and orchestra or chamber ensemble The text is that of a standard Latin Missa brevis, to which several relevant English poetic texts have been added. The first and last of these are taken from Bishop Thomas Ken's renowned morning and evening hymns for the scholars of Winchester College. They give the whole work the framework of a complete day, from waking to sleeping, within which other texts and moods appear like events in that day or landmarks in a life. Vocal scores are available on sale or on hire from the publisher. Instrumental material is available on hire from the publisher.

A Sevenoaks Suite werd geschreven in opdracht van de Sevenoaks and Tonbridge Concert Band uit Kent, in het zuidoosten van Engeland. De suite beschrijft drie beroemde landschapselementen en bouwwerken in de buurt van Sevenoaks en Tonbridge: als eerste ‘Knole Park’, dat ten zuidoosten van Sevenoaks ligt. Dan volgt ‘The Chapel Tonbridge School’, een deel dat is opgebouwd rond een hymne-achtig koraal. ‘The Vine Bandstand’ doet denken aan het type muziek dat vaak in muziekpaviljoens wordt gespeeld. Dit laatste deel is gecomponeerd in marsvorm, maar het is geen complete mars, in die zin dat er ook wordt afgedwaald naar andere stijlen voordat het werk eindigt in eenkrachtig slot.

A Sevenoaks Suite wurde von der Sevenoaks and Tonbridge Concert Band aus Kent im Südosten Englands in Auftrag gegeben. Die Suite beschreibt drei berühmte Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Gegend von Sevenoaks und Tonbridge: Knole Park“ liegt südöstlich von Sevenoaks, The Chapel Tonbridge School“ dreht sich um einen hymnenartigen Choral, der die vielen Gottesdienste beschreibt, die in der Kapelle stattgefunden haben, und The Vine Bandstand“ deutet die Art von Musik an, die oftmals in Musikpavillons gespielt wird. Der Satz ist daher in Form eines Marsches geschrieben, auch wenn er nicht die ganze Zeit wie ein Marsch klingt, und geht in andere Stilarten über, bevor er energischendet.

A Sevenoaks Suite est une commande l’Harmonie de Sevenoaks et Tonbridge, dans le Kent, au sud-est de l’Angleterre. Cette suite en trois mouvements dépeint trois lieux célèbres aux environs de ces villes. « Knole Park » évoque un parc au sud-est de Sevenoaks. Fondé sur un choral en forme d’hymne, « The Chapel Tonbridge School » représente les années de pratiques religieuses dont la chapelle a été témoin. Enfin, « The Vine Bandstand » rappelle les styles typiques des kiosques musique. Ce mouvement est en forme de marche, mais s’en écarte parfois en faveur d’autres genres avant une conclusion énergique.
