Salutation (ballet)

Salutation was a modern dance solo choreographed by Martha Graham to music by Lehman Engel.

It premiered on April 7, 1936, at Philharmonic Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.

[2] Graham performed ten other pieces on the all-solo program: Lamentation, Frontier, Satyric Festival Song, Building Motif from Horizons, Imperial Gesture, Sarabande, Act of Piety, Ekstasie, Frenetic Rhythm (No.3) and Harlequinade.

[2] Salutation-Dance of Greeting did not remain in the Martha Graham Dance Company repertory.

Graham also created other dances with the same name, including a 1930 work set to music by Arthur Honegger (originally called Prelude to a Dance) and a 1932 piece with music by Carlos Chávez (originally called Prelude).
