Product Description

Satie: Gymnopédie No. 1

arranged horn in F and piano

Probably Erik Satie's best known work, written originally for piano.

This piece has been arranged many times on this site and elsewhere for varying instruments.

In other arrangements the solo instrument takes the melody all the way through.

My arrangement differs in that, for the "2nd verse" the melody is shared between the horn and piano, and played together at the end.

This I feel gives interest and variation to the piece.

I have transposed it into F from the original D....this puts the horn in a better range.

I have also suggested some muting (both hand and actual mute) to add to the atmosphere of the piece.
