Sonata in G

Originally for violin and piano, Robert D. McCashin has done an outstanding job of making the Largo and Allegro from Telemann’s Sonata in G accessible to string orchestras. The opening movement offers beautiful and lush harmonic content with solo lines trading between the upper and lower string voices. The Allegro includes interesting and independent lines for all instruments, providing a substantive musical experience for each member of the ensemble. (4:00)
