On the Move

On the Move is written in ABA form with a short coda. The opening (and closing) sections are energetic and rhythmic with some syncopation, while the center section is a little slower and more expressive with lyrical melodies and flowing lines. All three flute parts are active and rhythmic with three part harmony interspersed throughout the trio. Although much of the melody is found in Flute 1, the other two parts are responsible for the energy and rhythmic drive and frequently have moving parts when Flute 1 does not.
