Florence Anna Maunders - Badder Gyrations - Small Orchestra

Badder Gyrations is a riotous celebration of underground and urban dance rhythms, as seen though the eyes (or perhaps heard through the ears) of a composer brought up in a rather different tradition. Mutant funk rubs up alongside distorted dubstep and drum 'n' bass, stretching and morphing into new, uncomfortable forms. This RNS prize-winning composition falls into three sections, a firmly grinding opening, which almost feels like a heavy 2-step, a seriously syncopated jazz-funk-influenced central section, featuring interwoven woodwind solos, and a final, massively unsubtle, stomping rhythmic coda. Scored for a small orchestra - pairs of woodwind, horns and trumpets, with timpani and strings - an ideal companion to "Uprising" Orchestra - 1(+picc).1(+cor).1(+bclt).1(+cbsn) - 2.2.0.0 - timp - strings. Duration ca. 5mins 30sec The download includes a full score, parts in PDF format and full permissions to perform in concert and to record for non-commercial uses

There are two main kinds of “uprising” in this piece – a direct exploration of the concept of musical lines rising upwards, with a sense of yearning upward ambition in the lines, and also the idea of a popular or political uprising, a struggle for supremacy, a call to action. In this relentless & breathless orchestral showpiece, every section of the orchestra is in a constant kaleidoscopic whirl of action, which starts energetically and doesn't let up until the very final and abrupt conclusion.
