Bump in the Night

Gottry, Josh

Doing less with more, “Bump in the Night” utilizes common non-pitched percussion instruments, including drums and percussion accessories, in ensemble for 7-11 players that is derived entirely from only three unique measures of music per part. Explore not so common meters (5/4 and 7/8), creative orchestration, and a wide variety of ensemble textures, layers, and dialogs in this engaging and pedagogical work for younger percussion ensembles.
