Originally for flute, viola da gamba, and continuo, the high viola da gamba tessitura transcribes beautifully to the violin, and with few exceptions could also be played with 2 flutes and keyboard. This is a classic chamber example of the music of organist, singer, and composer Antonio Lotti (1667-1740), whose style bridges the established Baroque and emerging Classical periods.

Instrumentation:

• 2 Flutes
