Salutation was composed for a cappella choir to a poem by Bengali poet and musician Rabindranath Tagore (1861--1941). The music takes up the spiritual message of the poem, that we live our lives in one salutation to God ending back in an eternal home. Phillip Littlemore's brilliant arrangement for concert band adds a work of great contemplative beauty to the repertoire. (3:15) Original item: EP68712-CMPST
