The story of Salut d'Amour began in the summer of 1888, when composer Edward Elgar was leaving for a holiday in the countryside with a friend. On his way out of town, Elgar received the gift of a love poem from his future wife Alice, and he reciprocated in the only way composers can: by writing her a song in return! Once he returned from his trip, he presented her with his song and also proposed to her -- how could she say no? Elgar submitted his work for publication later that year, and it has since become one of his most popular and beloved works. And now, Salut d'Amour gains new life in this Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet! Originally written for a wedding ceremony, this chart maintains the beautiful lyricism, intriguing harmonies, and lovely rhythmic flow of the original; it's sure to tug on your audience's heartstrings. Rated advanced-intermediate for a few tricky rhythms, a little chromaticism, and a few high notes in the first violin part (up to 4th position); this will be learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals.

Movement 3 from Edward Elgar’s Sea Pictures, Op. 37.
Arranged for voice and string quartet. 
Duration: 6 minutes. 2016.

This string quartet version strives to bring out the full color and texture of the original full-orchestra version. Each instrument part includes a small clued staff above showing the vocal line and lyrics. This makes rehearsal and performances much easier to coordinate without a conductor. Where there is an instrument name noted, this refers to the original instrumental line the player is playing. The term loco means that the player returns to playing a string part. For advanced players as the work makes full use of each instrument, uses double stops and extended ranges, etc. For advanced players as the work makes full use of each instrument, double stops, and extended ranges. I hope this smaller ensemble will allow singers to perform the work more often and bring this beautiful work to a larger audience. More on Elgar’s work at www.KimDiehnelt.com.
