Morcaeu I: Lentement sounds as if a tightrope walker is going carefully but quickly on a rope inside a circus. "Let me first try, Here we go, faster, now slowly realizing the situation, a bit faster, Almost falling! In a good position with a good pace, almost a sudden fall, feeling safe, Almost falling! Let me try again, stopping slowly at the spot faster, going at a steady pace, I can see the end with grace almost falling at the end! and then we start again at the end . . ."

I recognized that it was Satie's music playing while Kit and Holly were parked beneath the train tracks ("Badlands") but had to wait for the credits to learn the name of the composition. I originally thought it was one of his gnosiennes. I also enjoyed hearing Nat King Cole "A Blossom Fell" on the soundtrack - a favorite from him.

I would like to know, where did you come across this anecdote of Satie writing to a friend about Claude Debussy's "Pelléas et Mélisande" that you talk about in the description? I have heard or read it nowhere else. Who is this friend he was writing to? Could you please give me some more information about it? I am certain that this sentence is not all casual, since Satie seems to be depicting in it what all his music is really up to. Thank you so much for your fantastic work, btw.

[@eriksatieofficiel]

Thanks for your comment! I got it from Jean-Pierre Armengaud's biography of Satie: « "Tu me demandes des nouvelles de Pelléas et Mélisande ? Je te dirai simplement ceci : très chic ! absolument époilant", écrit Satie à son frère [le 27 juin 1902], tandis qu'il écrit à un ami (selon Jean Cocteau) : "Plus rien à faire de ce côté-là ; il faut chercher autre chose ou je suis perdu." » The last quote's reference is from Debussy's "Écrits", page 68, but I don't have this book. It's not clear if it's reported by Jean Cocteau from an oral conversation or from a letter to a friend we'd still have.

[@victoriapolinsky687]

I read this separately in the book "French Music" by Martin Cooper, though it is only briefly mentioned

[@juliomorenodavila8707]

More simply, I red it in the Wikipedia, I think!

[@anne-louiseluccarini4530]

The young Satie had been walking round Paris, soaking up the medieval architecture, which he then described in music. Debussy, who was also soaked in medievalism at that time (see La cathédrale engloutie), loved it. He gave Satie a gift (can't remember what it was without diving into my notes) which he dedicated to the "gentle, medieval musician wandered into this century for the joy of his friend". It was after this that he composed "Pelléas et Mélisande".

[@traviselder5985]

[@Ziad3195]

@@eriksatieofficiel So strange because Satie only wrote 3 Gnossiennes and after his death in 1925, people decided to name 3 of his untitled pieces Gnoissiennes... 1 to 3 sound connected and even this 7th one to an extent... But 4 to 6 are definitely not Gnossiennes.

[@eriksatieofficiel]

​@@Ziad3195 The dates and names of the gnossienne are a bit confusing. I already wrote a comment about it, here is the gist of it, chronogically by date of composition: 1889, July: Gnossienne n°5 (named "Gnossienne" by Satie, numbered posth.) 1891, January: Gnossienne n°4 (untitled piece) 1891, December: Gnossienne n°7 (referred by Satie himself as his "Gnossienne from Le Fils des Étoiles" in his correspondance) 1890-1893: Gnossiennes N°1-2-3 (most likely 1893, Satie wasn't sure about the year when it was re-published in 1913) 1897, January: Gnossienne n°6 (named "Gnossienne" by Satie, numbered posth.) So, yes, 5 and 6 are definitely Gnossiennes, named as such by Satie himself, as well as 7. Only 4 wasn't clearly named as such by Satie.

[@speed2040]

Pourquoi on dit qu'il a une 7ème Gnossienne si elle s'intègre au 3 morceau en forme de poire ?

[@eriksatieofficiel]

Parce qu'elle a été composée dès 1891 pour le Fils des étoiles. Satie a noté en marge du premier volet des "Trois morceaux ..." (Manière de commencement) : "Gnossienne extraite du 'Fils des Étoiles'. Fut composée en 1891." C'est chronologiquement la quatrième gnossienne qu'il a composée.

I hate contemporary classical, if it could even be truly called classical. Atonal, and so on, BLAH. Don't get me wrong, as I love everything from Bach to Chopin to Rachmaninoff, and all of the increasing dissonance. It's when all rhyme and reason is thrown out of the window in an attempt to be musically "creative", yet completely devoid of any pleasing aesthetic qualities. This wasn't what I was expecting at all. This isn't Phillip Glass or the Second Russian School of atonality... this was actually pleasing and with purpose. Nice.
