The piece begins with the solo and descant presenting the tune in unison with few modifications. This texture continues on in this manner allowing the descant to act as a color. The next section is an question/answer form with the soloist alternating against the flute and piano. The third section pairs the solo line and descant in much the same manner as the opening. The piece comes to a subtle conclusion. The piece, as a whole depicts a bird flying and flittering about in glee.
