Title: La Grâce, from Heldenmusik (12 Heroic Marches – No. 2)

Composer: Georg Philipp Telemann, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin 1 (trumpet in C); Violin 2; Viola; Cello

Printout: 4 pages

Note: The Heroic Marches, or Heldenmusik, of Telemann are perfect for weddings, graduations, and other festive occasions. Each was written as a musical expression of a particular quality. La Grâce, which translates to “grace” (though more in the social than the physical sense), is a moderately paced, elegant march. The first violin part is playable on flute, oboe, or trumpet in C.

La Grâce, arranged for string quartet, is also available in the Bargain Bundle 12 Heroic Marches (Heldenmusik), Set 1.
