Elgar composed Salut d'Amour, Op. 12 in 1888 while he was romantically involved with Caroline Alice Roberts (he dedicated to her). It's original title was Liebesgruss (Love's Greeting). It wasn't until the present title was used at the suggestion of his publisher that the work took off in popularity.

It is one of Elgar's best-known works and has inspired numerous arrangements for widely varying instrumental combinations.

Keith Terrett's transcription for Trumpet in B-flat is perfectly suited for moderately advanced performers and makes a delightful addition to any recital.

45 New Classical Guitar Arrangements in Open D Tuning

Theclassical guitar book in open D guitar tuning presents a new, and I think, additionalway of approaching classical guitar repertoire. Tuning to an open chord, in this case, DADF#AD can have itsbenefits. The most obvious is that amajor chord can be played with a single finger, or in the key of D, with openstrings.

Everyattempt has been made to keep true to the original manuscripts, butoccasionally the tune is transposed from the original, or the odd note has beenaltered to make the pieces playable. Ihave kept the arrangements primarily in the keys of D, G or A to take fulladvantage of the open strings in D tuning. In short, this book may not be for the classical guitar purist butdoes expand the repertoire that is lacking with open tunings.

There is agood selection of graded pieces from prominent classical guitar composers like Aguado,Sor, Giuliani, Carcassi and Carulli, plus other well-known works by Bach, Dowland,Satie, Beethoven, de Visee, Diabelli, Grieg, Haydn, O?Carolan, Pachelbel,Paganini, Petzold, Sanz, Schumann and Vivaldi.

I also adapted24 of the Giuliani right-hand exercises, major and minor scales and arpeggios, plusfretboard charts to further develop your knowledge and technique in Open D. Each piece has notation, tablature in Open Dtuning, right- and left-hand fingerings, and performance markings. Audio tracks online.

A celebrated Baroque work, Pachelbel's "Canon in D" exudes warmth, beauty and serenity, all in a stylishly flowing, romantic way. A favorite for recitals, concerts and especially weddings (as a prelude, unity candle music, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional), this version is a woodwind trio for flute, oboe and bassoon.

Soir D'Amore - A beautiful Evening, is an advanced level piano solo written by Kathi Kerr. It starts out in an impressionistic style, then evolves into a romantic/movie theme style. The melody is beautiful and the ad lib sections are fun and challenging to play. .

This collection of intermediate piano solos includes 20 arrangements of some of the most romantic songs from ages past. These beautiful, lyrical songs are perfect for weddings, easy listening repertoire, personal enjoyment, and even a few for church worship services.

These arrangements were created to make challenging classical music more accessible for the intermediate player or easier to sight-read by more advanced players (comes in handy when asked to perform on short notice). Another feature of these arrangements is they are consistent at the intermediate to advanced-intermediate skill level throughout each piece. Many have been simplified and only include excerpts from the longer original movements. Other simplified characteristics include easier key signatures, timings, and fingerings. Complimentary interludes and introductions were added when appropriate and melodies modified to create a more contemporary sound.

Each of the 20 arrangements is also available separately with accompanying preview pages and audio samples. The audio sample plays ?Starlight Serenade? by Alexander Ilyinsky.

This expressive romantic piece is often played by violin and and an accompaniment instrument, but it makes a lovely solo for harp. I play it at nursing homes, Valentine's Day concerts, wedding receptions and other classy events.

There are a number of pedal changes, but the tempo is slow and very flexible, so I don't find them too difficult.

"Salut d'amour" is a captivating and tender musical gem composed by Sir Edward Elgar, one of the most celebrated English composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Written in 1888, "Salut d'amour" translates to "Love's Greeting" in English, and it embodies the essence of a heartfelt expression of love through music.

Here is an arrangement for cello quartet.

Schwanengesang (Swan Song), D 957, is a collection of 14 songs written by Franz Schubert at the end of his life and published posthumously.Named by its first publisher, Tobias Haslinger, who presumably wished to present it as Schubert's last testament, Schwanengesang differs from the earlier Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise song-cycles by including settings of more than one poet. Seven texts by Ludwig Rellstab (1799?1860) are followed by six by Heinrich Heine (1797?1856); inclusion of the last song, to words by Johann Gabriel Seidl (1804?1875), may or may not reflect Schubert's wishes. In any case, all 14 songs were composed in 1828 and the collection was published in 1829, a few months after the composer's death.

The song "Ständchen" ("Serenade") the singer exhorts his lover to make him happy.
