Warm, Intimate, Heartfelt
The well-known classical music by Ludwig van Beethoven (9th Symphony) in a chamber string arrangement.
Slow, ('Lent' in French), and free-flowing, this track evokes an almost daydream like state. This is the first of three works to be given the name Gnossienne name by Erik Satie to reflect this new style of composition.
One of the most famous pieces of music for solo piano. Despite having the instruction, 'Lent et douloureux', (slow and painfully), this track is referred to for calm, relaxing and meditative purposes. Atmospheric and ambient.
Slow and grave, ('Lent et grave'), the third Gymnopedie is perhaps the most heartbreaking. The whole ambience is punctuated by mournful melodies that have become so popular in modern productions.
Graceful, Lilting, Heartbroken
Dramatic spaghetti-western guitar tune with trumpet and orchestra. Dark and sad.
Western / Mexican style ballad. Shoot out at the OK Corrall! Twangy electric, Spanish guitars, church bell. Builds in stages over 3 choruses.
Light Country, Mellow, Relaxed, Easy
(bolero) Steinway grand piano, vibes,electric bass, acoustic guitar, drums, latin percussion. Hauntingly romantic, this song seduces you from the first note. The instrumentation shimmers.
The second Gnossienne has the instruction, 'avec ?tonnement', (with astonishment), to instruct the player to play slightly faster than the other two pieces. Still has lots of space and freedom of expression.
Peaceful, Wafting
Peaceful, Wafting
Intricate, Mystical, Emotional
A beautiful, flowing introduction leads us into a magical fantasy. Sweet and tender, this is the first of Debussy's 'Deux Arabesques'. Written in E major and played at a slow tempo it gives a regal, emotional tone. Widely used in popular culture such as in TV themes and advertising. It has also been sampled by Alicia Keys and used in the video game 'Final Fantasy V'.
