Title: La Douceur, from Heldenmusik (12 Heroic Marches)

Composer: Georg Philipp Telemann, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin 1; Violin 2 or Viola; Cello

Printout: 4 pages

Note: “Sweetness” is the ninth of Telemann’s 12 Heroic Marches. It is a gentler, more relaxed piece than the more outgoing marches in the set. Suitable for prelude music, quiet receptions, and more intimate settings, it is always appealing to listeners.

The following marches from Telemann’s Heldenmusik are also available for string trio:

L’Amour; L’Armenent; L’Espérance; La Gaillardise; La Générosité; La Grâce; La Majesté; La Réjouissance; La Tranquillité; La Vaillance; La Vigilance
