Product Description
Salut dAmour, originally titled Liebesgruss (Loves Greeting), was Edward Elgars return gift to his fiancée Caroline Ann Rodgers. She had just written a poem "The Wind at Dawn" to which he promptly wrote accompanying music.
Elgar went to Schott Publishing to see if it could be published, for which Schott paid Elgar just over £1 in 1888 (worth just under 200USD in 2022). Schott decided to change the name to Salut dAmour as it would sound more romantic and sell more copies, which it did.
Considered one of the most romantic pieces, this setting allows several instruments of the band to take part in the original solo line. A beautiful addition to more than just your Valentine's program.
Scored for the smaller British Brass Band with a minimum of 9 parts and up to the full band. Duration ~ 2:45. 28 pages.
