This work, a kind of 'Rustle of Spring', was composed for the chamber music ensemble Cluster, who gave the first performance of it in 1981 in Helsinki. The work begins with a nocturne in which the flautist plays an alto flute in order to emphasize the instrument's expressiveness, particularly in its bottom register. The second movement is a mating dance for flute and alto saxophone, inspired by the play of birds in the spring. In the finale, material from the earlier movements is brought together. It reminds one of the nocturne atmosphere and the exstasy of spring. Here the percussion player has a solo section of extreme virtuosity.
