- Composer: Christopher Chapman Rouse III (February 15, 1949 - September 21, 2019)
Orchestra: New York Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Alan Gilbert
Score available from Boosey and Hawkes: boosey.com/cr/music/Christoph...
Bump was completed in Baltimore, Maryland on January 22, 1985. It is a “nightmare conga” characterized by a bass drum stroke on every fourth beat whose oppressive obstinacy adds to the overall feeling of menace. The title, referring as it does to dance floor bumping with hips or buttocks, may imply a certain impish quality in the movement, but the harrowing surrealism of its execution should belie any suspicion that it is largely “light classical” in orientation; if I had a corresponding visual image for Bump it would be akin to a gala Boston Pops performance in Hell.

There was a performance of it at the Tonhalle Zürich in 1993, and Mr. Rouse gave a short introduction with the conductor, Mr. Zinman. They demonstrated a little dance where on the fourth beat the behinds of the two bumped together. So it became clear to the audience what is meant by "Bump". 😂
This is what my brain sounds like
Very clear idea and DAT DEVELOPMENT oooooooh this is so good....................
and now I assume where did Bernhard Lang got all those ideas(?)
I recommend Symphony 2!
@@BetonBrutContemporary Lang is much better than this.
This is a wind band piece in disguise. And it would get more performances if it were transcribed for wind band.
Somebody should transcribe it! If no one else will, I will.
But yes, it certainly gives me John Mackey vibes at some parts.
Absolutely!
I don’t know of too many wind bands that could play this work, other than the military bands and a few college ensembles. His piece “Wolf Rounds” for wind ensemble is a true masterpiece in the wind ensemble repertoire, and is one of my favorite works by Rouse!
5:22 twerking music
A classic example of mid-period Rouse: half Rite Of Spring, half pop music (Stan Kenton meets mutant disco, in this case).
Much nicer to read than the hand written score I have. Thanks for posting. Those poor horns!
whoa thats cool u own a hand written score could you tell me more? where did you get it?
@@jtchapman01 not that exciting, before it was typeset you could buy a dye-line print of his manuscript. Don't have an original!
One of my favorite composer! THX 😊
This is really good! Love Rouse's works. Some parts reminded me of his 'Gorgon', which was composed a year before this work was completed. I particularly loved those syncopated rhythms, such captivating music. Thank you for uploading the score! :)
what a lovely work!
Like Mosolov's Iron Foundry got jazzed up! Must be a great way to start a concert.
This would be a most effective musical event if it accompanied some crazy jazz dance.
Hell yeah
It sounds like music that somebody would choreograph for contemporary dance or ballet (all of Rouse's Phantasmata does, in fact). I'm actually surprised that it hasn't been done yet.
@@jonaskatona7136 We are agreed
GENIALE! Extraordinary piece indeed!! Rouse is a GREAT composer.
Great - witty and sophisticated, with a definitely 1920s mood about it
One of my favorite Rouse pieces, love finally seeing a score follower for it!
I heard his symphonies here. Great stuff.
3:49 Kapustin meets Reich meets Ligeti/Boulez!
I’d love to see Rouse’s string quartets on video-score at some point!
There are things that worked for me in this piece and things that didn’t but I do love horn whoops
Kind of reminds me of Gubaidulina's concerto for two orchestras
RIP clarinetists in the opening
Fun
Interesting. Can't help but to hear it as "light classical", I'm afraid, despite the composer's intention. A slightly more dissonant West Side Story, of sorts. I mean, Boston Pops is gonna Boston Pops, in hell or elsewhere.
