La Moresque, from Terpsichore (viola cello duo)

Title: La Moresque, from Terpsichore

Composer: Pierre-Francisque Caroubel, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Viola and Cello

Printout: 2 pages

Note: Because his business partner, Praetorius, published Terpsichore after Caroubel’s death, the latter’s contributions have been largely and unfairly overlooked. In this Morris tune, Caroubel uses an intriguing rising chromatic scale to harmonize an otherwise simple melody.
