Easy Piano - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.939554 Composed by Jeremy Cullen. 20th Century,Contemporary,Romantic Period. Score. 5 pages. Jeremy Cullen #4736751. Published by Jeremy Cullen (A0.939554). This piece is part of a cycle of works composed as the soundtrack to an imaginary documentary called The World of EugeÌ€ne Atget. If the film did exist, I’d like to think that this music would make a suitable accompaniment to the French photographer’s haunting images. In 2005 I saw an exhibition of Atget's work at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and was captivated by his photos of Old Paris in the early 20th Century. He viewed his images as documents rather than art but they are beautifully atmospheric and influenced the Surrealists. Of course, this GymnopeÌdie was also inspired by Erik Satie who lived and worked in Paris around the same time as Atget (although I don't know if they ever met). My recording of this piece can be found on the album Scenes Vol. 1 by Jeremy Cullen, available on on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes and Amazon.
