Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Oboe - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.582016 Composed by Erik Satie. Arranged by Claude Debussy / John Gibson. 20th Century. 16 pages. JB Linear #4290893. Published by JB Linear (A0.582016). Erik Satie's Gymnopedies are unique studies in how music can be beautiful, yet uncomplicated. They were originally for piano, however Satie's friend, Claude Debussy set two of them for orchestra. Debussy added just a very little while arranging, but what he did add makes a big difference in how well these two pieces work for a woodwind quartet. The 3,1 in the title refer to Debussy's reversing the order deliberately to make the music flow better when using only two of the pieces. John Gibson used this setting for his woodwind quartet that includes flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, and bassoon.
