The adancea is a bright, lively Gigue (or Jig, dotted quarter note = 78), a dance form derived from the German Geige. After the introduction, the opening theme is stated at m. 9 (winds and trumpet) and re-appears at m. 25 (low brass) along with its variations at m. 33. The ritardando at m. 41 leads to the Ayre (Concert Db) at m. 44, with an opening alto saxophone solo which slowly expands to full ensemble at m. 59. Ayre presents the conductor with a great deal of latitude in regards to interpretation (ritardando, rallentando, etc.). The opening theme returns at m. 75 and to its conclusion at m. 94.
