Greek folk dance type tune, similar to 'Zorba' etc. Steadily increasing tempo throughout. Accordeon and bouzouki over nylon guitars, bass and drums. Can also be a Yiddish, Gypsy or Eastern European folk track. Bright, happy, authentic folky.
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.
Majestic orchestral music that takes the listener to a snow-covered medieval city at the beginning. Then there is a huge ceremony, maybe a coronation at the palace, or a hero rides into town.
A happy uplifting dance tune for the whole village. Featuring fiddle, penny whistle, flute and bagpipe.
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.
The third in a series of highly expressive and free-flowing compositions by Satie is again at a slow pace like the first one. This gives the track a sombre and hypnotic quality. Creates an almost haunting atmosphere.
Feel-good, melodic, warm and friendly and very traditional Mexican or South American guitar track.
An American Christmas Dream, joyful symphonic jumble.
Gymnopedie No.2 has an aura of sombreness about it. 'Lent et triste', (slow and sad), is the instruction to the player. Very atmospheric with a feeling of calm resignation. Huge amounts of space in the composition for thoughtful reflection.
Big action techno spy cue, with guitar, modulating synth bass and orchestra.
