The A theme contains a beautiful duet using parallel thirds and parallel sixths between the instruments. The form chosen is an eight part Rondo/Rondeau with themes in contrasting meters. The A theme is in 4/4, B in 5/8, A in 4/4, C in 6/8, A' in 4/4, B in 5/8, D in 3/4, and A" in 4/4. meter. The value of eighth notes remains constant throughout. Counting for the piece alternates between themes, being a bit challenging, yet satisfying for instrumentalists and audience. During the 5/8 sections there is a back and forth conversation, one at a time. Tonality is in C and D Major, with a few modulations within the B and D sections. The piece is perfect for a recital, or contest, working equally well in a worship setting. Initially composed for flutes, violins will enjoy, and perhaps a mixture of timbres would be delightful as well. This duet is unaccompanied.
