In general the harp has an accompanying role but it comes forward alone in the second movement which ends with bravura from both instruments.These two dances were firstperformed in September 1993 at the Northlands Festival by David Nicholson and Eluned Pierce.Score and flute part. Duration c. 5mins.Harp part edited by Elune Pierce.
