This con brio setting matches the vigorous early 17th-century English text, extracted from a much longer poem. The composer admits that his youthful love for Jethro Tull had a direct influence on this piece, even if the performers refrained from slavish imitation. A secular piece that speaks of driving the doldrums of winter away. Highlighted by a sprightly flute part.
