Satie: Gymnopédie no. 1 on the Theremin | Carolina Eyck

Today in my sheet music series I have for you Erik Satie’s ‘Gymnopédie No. 1’ 🎶✨ A piece that achieves perfection through exquisite simplicity, I think it well deserves its place as one of the most cherished gems in the classical repertoire 🎹

Easily my favorite classical song of all time.

[@Forever...Wanderer]

As expected, very soothing. I found the theremin's sound during sustained notes here to be strangely similar to a saxophone's so, in a sense, this sounded like a Gymnopédie no. 1 with a jazzy touch. Come to think of it, some of Satie's works do sound like they could very easily be adapted for jazz. I wouldn't be surprised if after a century, some artists already tried a few things out...

Huh, interesting, it always kinda sounds like a violin to me. Especially an electric one

[@danu6718]

I absolutely adore Eric Satie. This is beautiful. Thank you Carolina.

Playing the Theremin is real world spell casting. Thank you!

I pressed like before the ad had even finished playing. I knew this was going to to be amazing. This is one of favourite pieces by Satie alongside gnossiene no’5. Please perform that piece as well.

Good pitch control. Nice sound, nice tracks.

I have been watching your videos for years, and you are honestly one of the most talented musicians I've seen in the modern day! Saying you have complete mastery over the instrument is an understatement. I was wondering, can you effect the tone of the theremin using guitar and other effect pedals? I've noticed you using what looked like a loop and a delay pedal in one of your videos.

Beautiful song 🕯

[@theremin_gary]

So precise

[@wayner396]

Congratulation for your performance at le festival présence in france, it was a surpise to see you !!

Carolina have you checked out the stylophone theramin? I feel like it would be an interesting new voice in your arsenal

[@heikom7646]

🥰

[@posen79]

Hello! What does this number notation means? Where I can find some explanation?

[@jihad1251]

It’s the hand position for your hand Carolina’s technique relies on hand positions to play specific notes (a total of 13 positions I think)

[@jared1321]

Latest video is my one of my fav songs? That gets a like

[@drhejdanna]

Wunderschön! Und besser kann man die Theremin nicht spielen....

[@imagopoeta]

Ma funziona davvero?

[@Elch-cy3yw]

Hallo Carolina, na, könntest du's noch anders spielen...? So klingt's auch sehr, sehr schön und innig, aber stell dir das tiefe FIS oder E auf deinem ursprünglichen Instrument vor... Grüße aus Sachsen
