Programme Note

The Cantilena grows from a reflective melody (introduced by the piccolo) which turns around just a handful of notes. The Stampita, again using limited melodic material, is a vigorous dance charcterised by two stamping beats every second bar. the tune comes from Florina, in northern Greece.
