SKU: A0.748672
Composed by Erik Satie. Arranged by Mark Reeves. 20th Century,Concert,Film/TV,Wedding,World. Score and part. 5 pages. Mark Reeves #3022545. Published by Mark Reeves (A0.748672).
Erik Satie's Gymnopedies were written for piano solo but lend themselves perfectly to being played by other musical instruments too. Indeed, Claude Debussy arranged the first and third Gymnopedies for orchestra.
This arrangement for flute with piano accompaniment would fit nicely into a school concert programme and is also perfect for wedding ceremonies. Performance time is approximately two and a half minutes.
Breath marks are not indicated, as the long phrases should be played in one breath if possible. A separate part is supplied for the soloist.
The composer's original autographed manuscripts have been used as the initial source material, along with the very first printed editions published in 1888 and 1895. Obvious errors in these first editions have been corrected and Satie's unconventional preference for distributing the notes of chords across both staves has been ignored in favour of grouping the notes together to facilitate chord recognition and performance.
