L’Espérance, from Heldenmusik (12 Heroic Marches) (violin/viola duo)

Title: L’Espérance, from Heldenmusik (12 Heroic Marches)

Composer: Georg Philipp Telemann, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin and Viola

Printout: 2 pages

Note: “Hope” is the penultimate march of Telemann’s Heldenmusik, coming just before “Rejoicing.” Whether Telemann was philosophizing in making this decision or not, it nevertheless makes a fitting conclusion to an excellent set of programatic pieces. The violin part in this setting may be performed on flute or oboe.
