About this item
Take them to festival with this stunning, minimalist piece, arranged with the melody doubled in many sections, for a first full orchestra experience. With an emphasis on slow bows, the easy rhythms and notes are very true to the original piano piece. The first violins play F-natural, but all ranges are beginning level. The performance will sound high level, yet the tune is completely playable. This piece will take your breath away!

Composer
Erik Satie (1866-1925)
Éric Alfred Leslie Satie (pronounced: [eʁik sati]) (17 May 1866 – Paris, 1 July 1925; signed his name Erik Satie after 1884) was a French composer and pianist. Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. His work was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, and the Theatre of the Absurd.[citation needed]
An eccentric, Satie was introduced as a "gymnopedist" in 1887, shortly before writing his most famous compositions, the Gymnopédies. Later, he also referred to himself as a "phonometrician" (meaning "someone who measures sounds") preferring this designation to that of a "musician", after having been called "a clumsy but subtle technician" in a book on contemporary French composers published in 1911.
