What a simple yet incredibly powerful melody. It blows my soul.

Old music, but hardly to beat.

The best version, for me, is the Velvet Gentleman by the Camaratta Contemperary group... Small chamber group from the '60s.


We'll be hearing a lot about the pre-WWI composers, artists and intellectuals over the next 12 months as we head up to the centennial of that horrible summer.


Satie, Faure, Saint-Saen, Stravinsky, Dvorak... an explosion of new and experimental music in that first decade...

Only 2 tracks in the library? More please Bill - absolutely beautiful music. {#Notworthy}

Furniture music, but very nice furniture it is.

Life, encompassed in a few notes - magical, painful, beautiful...so full of longing. Nothing surpasses the divine inspiration of this melody...
Sigh...

That made her smile (me, too) and she does make mistakes, still, I love it.

What Ambient historians may not realize is that the proto-Ambient song is not this one, but Wagner's Overture to Das Rheingold. One of my top 10 favorite songs, by the way. Wikipedia does not mention the vorspiel on its Ambient Music page, but one of my goals is to change that and perhaps make one tiny contribution to music theory.

this is a good version - good tempo - subtle - my favorite part of the sheet music has a dynamic marking of " du bout de la pensee " or in English "on the tip of the mind"

Heard the first two notes, voted 10. Simply a masterpiece.

Satie doesn't have specific time signatures, so this rendering (whoever played it) is pretty close to what I think Satie would have played like.

Camarata Contemporary Group is had for most young-uns to find...
I know of no digital recordings which means no CDs and no Internet radio... No digital sharing... Unless someone can do a Vinyl to digital to RP transfer... Pleeeese-!!

I agree. Music w/o the percussion but using a Chamber group alone makes for very smooth and romantic evenings.
Now if I could just find a similar treatment or "Pavane" by Gabrial Faure'... Suggestions-?
