Product Description

Gymnopédie No. 1, by Erik Satie for cello quartet plus continuo (cello or bass)

This iconic piano piece is one of the most recognisable and widely used classical pieces in the popular repertoire. It is both beautifully simple and elegant making this arrangement accessible to ensembles of beginner/early intermediate standard. Each of the 4 'cello parts has a turn at the melody, and the very easy continuo can be played by either cello or double bass. All parts are written in bass clef and none go above 4th position making it perfect for student groups. I like to play it with all cello parts muted (con sordini) but mutes are generally not used on double bass. If playing with both cello 5 and bass, try sempre pizzicato in the bass part for an interesting effect.

Note from the arranger: All my arrangements for 'cello quartet, quintet and sextet are conceived specifically with the range and technical capabilities of the 'cello in mind - no simple transpositions or re-orchestrations of string quartet scores. They are therefore both easily playable and enjoyable by any intermediate to advanced 'cello ensemble. Most parts do not go beyond 4th position, making them equally suitable for student, mixed ability groups or cello choirs. A complete score and set of individual parts is included.
