SATIE SONGBOOK FOR STRINGS (A)

synthesized demos

Although Erik Satie is now best known for his sometimes quirky and sometimes sublime solo piano works, he also wrote dozens of songs. This collection includes two of his popular songs widely performed in early 20th century Parisian cabarets, along with three miniatures, and four songs that draw on both the serious, avant-garde style of the time, as well as the popular music styles of the cabarets. More Satie transcriptions are available from Creative Spirit Music Publisher.

DURATION: about 15 minutes as a complete set (may be performed individually or in various groupings)
