And at last here is the second and last part of my two "poems" for flute and orchestra. This features many dance-like tunes I have written and is a more lively counterpart to the Song of Longing (poem n.1).

0:00 A slow ad lib introduction begins the piece, with hints of an english folk song, "Benjamin Bowmaneer".
0:39 The first dance in 6/8
2:15 The second more medieval sounding dance in 4/4
3:09 Cadenza featuring the folk song melody from the beginning with hints of the 1st and 2nd dances overlapping every so often in the background
4:13 The third, slower dance
4:33 The fourth dance (alternating with the 3rd) in 6/4 (both the 3rd and 4rth dances are adapted from an older piece of mine, which incidentally was the first piece I uploaded here on FA)
5:58 The 1st dance makes a comeback
6:09 The finale with alternating hints of dances 1 and 4, until n.4 quickly closes the piece.
