EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "We Salute You, Kings of the Air, March of the Aviators, is a poignant and patriotic song from the early years of World War I. The lyrics were penned by Marius Gay, an Academy Officer, and the music composed by Joseph Paget. The song was created under the guidance of Henri Gunard, the baritone of the Versailles Concerts, circa 1915. This evocative cover image captures the spirit of the era, with its depiction of soldiers in uniform, their gazes fixed on the sky, as they salute the brave aviators soaring above. The image is a testament to the awe and admiration felt for the pilots who risked their lives in the skies during the Great War. The title, "Salut a Vous," is inscribed in bold letters at the top of the cover, with the subtitle, "Marche des Aviateurs," below. The date, "1915," is also prominently displayed, reminding us of the historical significance of this song. The 1910s was a time of great innovation and change, as the world adjusted to the realities of modern warfare. The advent of the aeroplane transformed the battlefield, and the courage and skill of the aviators became symbols of hope and determination in the face of adversity. This sheet music cover is a beautiful and poignant reminder of that time, and the sacrifices made by the men and women who served during World War I. The image of the soldiers saluting the aviators in the sky is a powerful symbol of respect and admiration, and serves as a reminder of the enduring bond between the ground troops and the air forces.
