Satie in Words and Music
Davinia Caddy
Famous today for his Trois Gymnopédies, Erik
Satie was an eccentric and solitary figure who
was nevertheless viewed by some as a prophet of
French musical modernism, his striking
creativity championed by Ravel and Debussy.
From tragedy and trauma in his early years,
through his time as a pianist and Parisian
provocateur at Le Chat Noir cabaret, and as
house composer to the mystical Rose+Croix cult
and beyond, Satie’s eventful life is told in this
fascinating revue of a composer whose unique
status is still influential today. The narrative is
illustrated with musical excerpts from works
including Gymnopédie No. 3, Gnossienne No. 3,
Sports et Divertissements, Trois Morceaux en
forme de poire and Relâche, among others.
