Instrumental songs with a quirky vibe for a dance for camera piece?

Question

I am looking for a 4-5 minute piece of instrumental music for a dance for camera project. It should be instrumental, no words at all. Some vocals are fine, just as long as they are not words. I am looking for something a little on the quirky side with a driving rhythm. Dark and mischievous would also be adjectives to describe what I am looking for. I love the song Smoke and Mirrors by Gotye, however it has lyrics. I also like the song Intruxx by Glass Animals but it is not long enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Equus by Eric Whitacre and Foundry by John Mackey are my favorite pieces that would be good. I played them in concert band. The first one has a killer clarinet solo in it, and it is named for the Latin word for Horse and it is inspired by the rhythm the gallop of a running horse. Foundry is a really awesome piece and in the percussion, they are beating pipes against propane tanks, using hammers on metal bowls, and it s really cool it uses unconventional percussion instruments and the trombones are killer. It sounds kinda like a battle or a spy movie. It might be too brash for your purpose though. Chant and Jubilo is a good piece as well. I have a few others so let me know if you want more ^-^
