Henry C. Work
Written in C major, range E4 to G5
A song about an old man’s clock. It was bought on the morning he was born, ticked beside him for ninety years and stopped for good the moment he died. Henry Clay Work wrote it in 1876, and it is the reason tall pendulum clocks are called grandfather clocks.
