Brass Ensemble - Digital Download SKU: A0.999421 Composed by Erik Satie. Arranged by Eric Wilson. 20th Century. Score and parts. 13 pages. Woodrow Edition #5798355. Published by Woodrow Edition (A0.999421). This sweet little march – more of a cakewalk really – was originally written for piano by the famously eccentric French composer Erik Satie but it suits the brass quintet very well. I made this arrangement as long ago as 1987 when I didn’t know much about the composer. Many years later I visited his former home, now a museum, in the Normandy port of Honfleur. It’s well worth a visit and gives a valuable insight into this fascinating composer.The piece makes a delightful short interlude or encore and I’ve tried to share the interest around the players, although the tuba is not exactly pushed to its limits!
