"L'istesso tempo" is an indication in music that usually means, "the same tempo," or "no change from the previous tempo." While it's common to see a piece named something like "Allegro," or "Larghetto" or "Vivacissimo," this one is usually not the first tempo indication of a piece, and therefore usually not the name of the piece. But to me, it can also mean, "we're all at the same pace."
The fun, short piece was premiered by the Midland Community Ensemble of Midland, Texas. Dr. Colby Swails, the artistic director of that ensemble, described it as, "...absurdly brilliant!...From Mozart to Maslanka!"
