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.
