150 seconds a Tribute to Erik SATIE

The project "150 seconds, Tribute to Erik Satie" is carried by the collective Arietta, Galilee Music center in Israel, and the Vox Musicorum Orchestra, based in Paris on the occasion of the 2016 / Hundred-fiftieth anniversary of the composer's birth.
 
 
Éric-Alfred-Leslie Satie is a French composer and pianist, born in Honfleur on May 17, 1866 and died in Paris on July 1st, 1925. Associated for a time with symbolism, but unclassifiable, he was recognized as a forerunner of Several movements including surrealism, minimalism, repetitive music or the theater of the absurd

 

 

In 2016, on the basis of titles retained by the composer but not assigned to a work, found in the archives of the musician of Arcueil, several composers work on the composition of original works inspired by these titles.


The collective Arietta, in collaboration with the Galilee Music center and the Vox Musicorum Orchestra suggests a format of one hundred and fifty seconds, modeled on the Gnossiennes, but the form remains free and open.

 

The compositions can be sent be email at : ensemble.arietta@gmail.com

 

The Satie project is not a competition, and has no other stake than to celebrate the talent of the composer of Arcueil.

 

The form of each text is open, duration, instrumentation also, the only constraint being to name the composition with one of the titles retained by Satie.

 

The musicians of the Galilee Music Center, the VMP and the Arietta Ensemble, whenever possible, will play the pieces in concert (Jerome Rigaudias created "Fleur d'Absinthe by Claude SACRE in November 2016 in Israel)

 

Through this project, we hope to facilitate the collaboration of musicians, composers and cultural organizers, and, more generally, to bring to life and circulate the very inspiring talent of Erik SATIE.

 
The first work on this model is "Fleur d'Absinthe" by French composer Claude SACRE, for piano solo.
 
The score is available upon request at : ensemble.arietta@gmail.com
 
A second work, in the course of writing, is performed by the composer Gilles Raynal, "Mémoires d'une Pomme" Orchestra Suite.
 
 
24 Titles, poetic and inspiring, all stemming from the beautiful imagination of Erik Satie, are at the search of their composer
