Composer: Georg Philipp Telemann, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin 1; Violin 2 or Viola; Cello

Note: Telemann’s musical depiction of Hope is the penultimate piece in his Heldenmusik marches. Rising motifs in both sections create an uplifting feeling before settling into the final cadence. L’Espérance is an ideal piece for preludes and incidental music.
