Gymnopedie No. 1

This medium level arrangement for vibraphone comes from one of Satie's most treasured works for piano.  The arrangement adheres to the original work rather closely, although the key has been changed from D to F to better accommodate the range of a standard vibraphone.  It is also a deceptively tricky study in mallet dampening and requires sensitivity and precision in order to bring out the melody with clear presence over the harmony.

This piece ships as a printed, professionally bound folio with a full-color cover.
