Set in two movements, A Little Song and Dance combines a passionate first movement followed by a light and lively second. A dramatic horn solo leads into a piu mosso section. Melody flows throughout the ensemble with solo lines in every part. The second movement is very rhythmic, often changing meter with sections in 7/8. It is truly dance-like and the rhythms drive it to an awesome climax and the end of the work.
