March, from Richard I (violin viola duo)

Title: March, from the opera Richard I

Composer: G. F. Handel, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin and Viola

Printout: 2 pages

Notes: The march from Richard I (aka Richard the Lion-hearted) is popular as a wedding processional, especially with those who like the more traditional baroque marches but want something a bit different. Richard I was often called “the troubadour king” because of his considerable musical talent. The violin part can be performed on flute or oboe.
