Salentin

Salentin is Gauthier Dupertuis’ tribute to the Valais, the Swiss Canton where he was born. Salentin is a mountain from which there is a spectacular view of Vernayaz, the composer’s village of origin.

This piece is structured in such a way that all registers of the band are highlighted. It is suitable for performance in parade, but also as a concert march.

Salentin is dedicated to the Concert Band of Martigny (Valais/Switzerland) and its conductor, Dany Rossier, who premiered Salentin during a concert on 3rd December, 2023.
