La Moresque, from Terpsichore (violin viola duo)

Title: La Moresque, from Terpsichore

Composer: Pierre-Francisque Caroubel, arr.David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin and Viola

Printout: 2 pages

Note: Caroubel collaborated with Praetorius on the collection of dance music Terpsichore (named after the Greek muse of dance). Much of Caroubel’s contribution has been unjustly overlooked since he died before the work was published and Praetorius has typically been given credit for the entire compendium. The title, La Moresque, means “the Morris dance.”
