This is a simple example of the high-baroque repertoire in the Härnösand collection: one of six movements by "Singr. Heinrich" (Malmö 1752, C. Nyrén) - Intrada, Aria, Bouree, March, Menuet, Polonese.

The whole work has been labelled "Intrada" after the first movement: but a similar work by the same composer is called "Sviten" (suite), which would surely be more appropriate here too.

There is a complete set of parts, and as usual, no score; I have made a score here because it's interesting to study, it's not necessary for performance.

Although the work is written for five instruments, with two flutes, two violins and bass, there are at no time more than three separate parts: when everyone is playing, the two flutes have the same music as the two violins, and in the passages for two solo flutes, the two violins play the bass part in unison, while the bass instruments are silent.
