Dynamite, subtitled "noisy", is certainly an explosive rag living up to its pictorial promise as illustrated on the front cover of the original sheet music. Its form is AABBACCBB with a 4-bar introduction whereby the AABBA- and CCBB-strains are written in the major keys of C and F respectively. In this adaptation for recorder quintet, the A-strain is a delightful treble solo whilst the B- and C-strains are characterised by thumping "noisy" 3-note chords where all join in. A great ensemble piece!
