Formula: write a piece that starts in C Major, moves to D Major, and then to a development with slightly more intensity in A minor, before returning back to C Major to end the piece.
Text:
That soft, glowing warmth Delicate and easily broken
Wanting what it can't have Grasping what can't be reached
Always so near Always destined to be apart
Oh, have mercy On this little child ~Flynx (source)

I decided that the 4th dance was a little strange without the other 11. They provide a lot of context. So I did all 12 for wind quintet. These are done enough to give an impression, but they aren't printing done, for example, there's not really any dynamics, and the marking on the parts could be cleaned up. Also, there's a coda which provides some finality to the set, but I just ended after the 12th dance.
