Florence Anna Maunders - Fist In The Air

"...I'll give you a dose but it'll never come close to the Rage built up inside of me FIST IN THE AIR in the land of hypocrisy..." I always loved these lines from Rage Against The Machine's 1992 song "Wake Up" - an amazingly powerful song which is just as relevant now as it was nearly 30 years ago. The image of a fist in the air - raised in anger, raised in defiance, raised as a symbol of the struggle against racism and inequality is eternally powerful. This piece starts with restrained anger, but the fist gets raised higher and higher in defiance as the music builds. I wrote this piece in a day of (rage and anger) for a workshop with the London Contemporary Chamber Orchestra. If you're reading this bit for the musicology stuff, it's based entirely on a 13/8 riff which changes groupings from 2/2/3/3/3 to 2/2/3/2/2/2 alternately, so it's written out as the 4-bar pattern 7/8 - 6/8 - 7/8 - 3/4. Against this riff other parts play different groupings which accentuate other beats. If you like this kind of thing and you ALSO like rock music, check out the band Tool - they specialise in this kind of geeky metrical stuff. In terms of the instrumentation, I've actually conceived (mostly) of the orchestra in three groups: Metal (Flute, Trumpet, Horn Trombone, Glockenspiel, Gong, Cymbal, Cowbell) Wood (Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Woodblock, Marimba, Bongos) Strings (Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass & Snare Drum) The instruments generally play together with the others in their group (but not always - I never found a system I didn't want to break) WAKE UP!
