"Your Name" is a popular British light music composition by Eric Coates. It was composed in 1940 and premiered on the BBC Light Programme on 20th October 1940. The piece is a waltz and is known for its romantic and sentimental character. The composition consists of three movements, each with its own distinct melody. The first movement is a gentle and flowing waltz, with a simple and memorable melody that is repeated throughout the piece. The second movement is more lively and upbeat, with a faster tempo and a more complex melody. The third movement returns to the gentle and flowing character of the first movement, with a slightly more elaborate melody. The piece is characterized by its use of lush orchestration, with a full string section, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. The melody is carried by the strings, with the woodwinds and brass providing a rich harmonic accompaniment. The percussion is used sparingly, adding a subtle rhythmic element to the piece. "Your Name" is a quintessential example of British light music, with its sentimental and romantic character, lush orchestration, and memorable melody. It has become a popular piece for weddings and other romantic occasions, and has been recorded by numerous orchestras and artists over the years.
