Composed by Edward Elgar. Arranged by Denis Carmonário. This edition: pdf, streaming. 19th Century, Chamber, Classical, Romantic Period, Wedding. 17 pages. Denis Carmonário, M.Mus. #1378985. Published by Denis Carmonário, M.Mus. (A0.1818863).About this Arrangement
Elevate your ensemble's performance with this sophisticated arrangement of Edward Elgar’s Salut d’Amour, Op. 12, meticulously crafted by Denis Carmonário, M.Mus.
Originally composed in 1888 as a tender engagement gift for his future wife, this masterpiece is a staple of the Romantic repertoire. While many editions simplify the work, this arrangement was designed to preserve the lush harmonic resonance and the lyrical intensity found in Elgar’s original vision for violin and piano.
Why choose this edition?
Advanced Counterpoint: Unlike standard "melody-plus-accompaniment" arrangements, this version features a true dialogue between all four instruments. The Violin II, Viola and Cello parts are developed with independent lines and counter-melodies, ensuring an engaging and rewarding experience for every player in the quartet.
Idiomatic String Writing: As a specialist in string textures, Denis Carmonário utilized strategic double stops and open-string resonances to capture the full, "symphonic" sound of the original piano accompaniment without compromising playability.
Professional Performance Markings: This score is performance-ready, featuring precise articulations and essential expressive indications such as stringendo and colla parte. These markings are crucial for achieving the authentic "rubato" feel that defines Elgar’s style.
Versatility for Professional Gigs: With its refined balance and elegant phrasing, this arrangement is the definitive choice for high-end wedding ceremonies (processionals or signings), gala receptions, and chamber music recitals.

Format: Full Score and Individual Parts (Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello).
