Englund's Flute Concerto opens with a Ritornello in which the flute's playful, dance-like passages make sharp contrast with the orchestra's heroic stance. In the mellow Canzona which follows, the flute plays rhapsodically over repetitive orchestral figures. The work's action!packed finale hints at parody in its military march-like opening, but also gives rein to the lyricism already familiar from the second movement.
