Erik Satie - Gymnopedie No.1 (Orchestrated by Debussy)

[rankingtrevor]

This is NOT number 1. Its number 3. This is hauntingly brilliant through.

[thisnameisuniq]

@rankingtrevor iirc, they swapped the order when debussy orchestrated them

[rankingtrevor]

@thisnameisuniq Thanks for the info, appreciated.

[takashi1021]

OMG OMG OMG !!

If I die take it this at heaven

[Anonymant]

This song is my favourite of all three Gymnopédies, and every time I hear it, I think I might almost cry. Don't know why. I just find the song sadder than any other piece I've ever heard. Debussy and this orchestra have done a beautiful job with this rendition. Thankyou for uploading it.

[taffywindsor1]

Gorgeously romantic - Beautiful !

[Sebbastar]

[VoluptuousB]

This is so lovely! I feel like waltzing through the park alone with my love!

[OriammariO1]

Why do they always put weird pictures

[USAEuropeBrotherhood]

Satie is the boss of the bosses.

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

This is musical perfection! it creates such a whimsical environment and a vibrant and slightly eerie atmosphere. Simply adore it.

[ottomick]

meravigliosamente incredibile questa realizzazione, congratulazioni !!!!

[Shanelololol]

[Geisttanzer]

@Shanelololol Read the description for God's fucking sake

[goingfortheone1]

@Shanelololol Read the text below the video.

[vampiren42]

This has to be one of the most beautiful peices of music I have ever heard- It is just so sad and romanitic, deserves to be listened to in silence so it is all you can hear. Love it.

[tirso777]

this is so beautiful 

[veronicachic]

i think you mixed up no. 3 with no. 1

[Geisttanzer]

@veronicachic I think you didn't read the video description's last paragraph

[veronicachic]

@Geisttanzer ooow! okay! :) thanks.

[KlaffGey]

[1unix]

Yapp perfect

[dariloco87]

RIP Leonora Carrington  =(

[1862Debussy]

No.3! malheureusement, il y a erreur!

C'est tout de meme magnifique!

[MsCandii16]

This is No. 3 but it's good tho :)

[twohund]

Different, but still just as pleasent.

[nnvananh]

can i ask what's the meaning of these drawing?

[pandasandbunnies]

You might want to fix the title. This particular piece is Gymnopedie #3, not #1

[Railenthe]

@pandasandbunnies "…Debussy orchestrated the 3rd and the 1st only, reversing the numbering: First gymnopédie (original piano setting by Satie) → 3rd gymnopédie (orchestration by Debussy) Third gymnopédie (original piano setting by Satie) → 1st gymnopédie (orchestration by Debussy)" —From the notes.

[onlylexus]

If you could feel as I do then you would know that I somehow bear the Worlds pain when I listen to this moving emotional music. I feel the sorrow of the whole planet, I feel the serenity of peace. I feel the capricious love of the whole Earth. But mostly I feel the loss of my child Elliott. I love you my boy, oh! how I miss you. I will always love you. Satie's sad and yearning music is the mirror of my heart and soul. Son, hear my soul, listen and feel a heart broken. Your Daddy. Paul. x

[yukiculkin]

Well, it was originally Gymnopedies I, but when Debussy wrote the orchestra score, he reversed the Gymnopedies I and III. So, the "orchestral" Gymnopedies I is the "piano" Gymnopedies III, and vice versa. :)

[yukiculkin]

@yukiculkin Oops, that's what I get for not reading the notes underneath... D:

[buddingtonparker]

This is Gymnopedie No.3

[piggemz]

great but u mixed up 1 and 3 -.-

[LivingMindfully1975]

I would love for someone artistic to explain this painting and what it means/represents.

[AphroditeEros33]

[hela3002]

[11guzz]

Can anyone tell me who is the artist of this painting? It is so beautiful, I want to buy a copy. 

[undamaris2006]

Stupenda!

[muse4201]

[MusicaAustralis]

His musique take my soul upon my beloved's soul and we enter the Gates of Aeterna...

[dranderon]

this is three

[Dave2bu]

@dranderon check the description

[nimh1988]

@BenMurrie actually debussy reversed the order when orchestrating the pieces

[AviatorAndyK]

fucking brilliant, very moving piece.

[soybomb911]

this makes me want to just go live

[soybomb911]

yess!! this is the best version. gogious! just gorgious.

[5shelties]

This version is beautiful. I've also tried to do a search, but have not been able to locate the version.

[FuckTheJanitors]

@5shelties

This is the London Promenade Orchestra 's version. To me it remains the best performed ever.

[Poiso42]

Anyone know what orchestra did this version, and/or what album it can be found on? I have the Symphonique de Montreal version and it's just not quite the same magic.

[FuckTheJanitors]

@Poiso42

This is the London Promenade Orchestra's version conducted by Eric Hammerstein. To me it remains the best performed ever I can't find it on CD or vinyl but you can find both of the two Gymnopédies orchestrated by Charles Gerhardt & the National Philharmonic Orchestra (Gymnopédie n°.3) and the London Promenade Orchestra's one on iTunes(well, still bloody mp3s...).

The album name is Classical Dreams: The French Impressionists.You can find nice versions of Ravel, Debussy, Fauré etc in it.

[5shelties]

@FuckTheJanitors Thanks so much for all of the info. I went to Amazon, and downloaded the MP3, but it seems to be slightly different, and doesn't seem to have the depth that Distant Mirrors YouTube has. Do you perchance have the label name and call number? Again, thank you!

[chimcharoo]

mmm satie... my favorite.. he was obsessed with parasols and velvet coats... he was considered a pretty bad pianist and didnt even use it to compose... thank goodness ravel found him or he would probably not be known today.

[SareeseTheFirst]

Ohhhhh haha- I love this song but I'd been wondering why it sounded nothing like Satie's first Gymnopedie (until I read the description- so thanks, DistantMirrors!). I'd been thinking, Oh wow, Debussy REALLY took artistic license with the orchestration!

[quentinexus]

the second chord of the 1st gymnopedie (3rd for debussy) is not a b-minor but a D major 7th

[Physdelicdreaming]

This morning when I woke up, we had a red sunrise - there were so many clouds in the sky, and they were orange, red, purple, dark gray, and at the horizon it was bright, turquoise green. The wind was dancing, and it just felt so mysteriously beautiful, it was a strange feeling I cannot explain. This suits it perfectly. Merci, ce est tres beau.

[soybomb911]

thats god talkin to ya buddy. unless your on drugs lol

[Physdelicdreaming]

Ha, I think it was God, or whatever... I don't take stuff, lol.

[weinerbongo]

the proper term for dog-headed person has inspired me to come up with the album name "Cynocephalic Frenzy."

[ClanRooster]

The image is a depiction of the life of the mythical 'dog-headed people' of the late middle-ages.

An important bishop reported the existence of these 'dog-heads' and the medieval church had to decide if the 'dog-heads' had a soul.

The church liked bogey-men tales like this as it kept the peasants tilling the fields of the monasteries.

[amig90]

Thanks for the information on that painting. I wondered why those Chrsitians looked like execusioners.

[vockvock]

Wolfgang Vock

[iscreampinkarrow]

I love this piece!! Its so beautiful. But also the painting you chose is very mysterious...whats going on with that, anyway? I love it!! =D

[everyonelovesedward]

i love this piece.

[therandomofme]

Well yeah this is the 3rd on piano 1st on orchestra

The 1st on piano is 2nd on orchestra not 3rd, it says so on the 1st violin part lol

[secretivesomebody]
