A thoughtful, reflective piece for flute and piano, inspired in part by celtic melodies, particularly the compositions of the flautist Simeon Wood. Separate flute and piano parts are available for download from http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/prh33/music.html. Note that the Sibelius playback doesn't do justice to the ornaments in the flute part; I've tried to correct that in the midi file and mp3 file. This piece is dedicated to Harriet Johnston, a close friend and fellow flautist.

impossible to describe; a haunting and yet loving melody, I loved the most the part when the piano first entered. truly beautiful,that song, no,masterpiece, was heard deep into my soul, deeper than I have ever felt with my own music before.

This was lovely. I don't think it was the best ending though, I think there was a better one earlier on where everyone thought it was about to end. However it really is lovely. Add a guitar and I think it would sound even better.
