La Réjouissance, from Heldenmusik (12 Heroic Marches) (string trio)

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

Composer: Georg Philipp Telemann, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin 1; Violin 2 or Viola; Cello

Printout: 4 pages

Note: Telemann ends his cycle of heroic music with a depiction of rejoicing or, put more simply, joy. This movement is an ebullient romp, full of leaps, flourishes, and fanfare. It’s perfect recessional music for wedding clients who like the traditional baroque marches but want something different.
