Erik Satie coined a new word for this song (Gnossiennes). Originally there were three that were composed around 1890 and published in 1893. This first one I find to have a hauntingly beautiful sound. Originally, this one didn’t have barlines or time signatures. For my arrangement I added both to make it a little easier to play.

Erik Satie composed the Three Gnossiennes around 1890 and they were published in 1893. Originally for the piano, they are beautiful pieces of music which I would recommend checking out if you don’t know them. Satie was an interesting composer who experimented with chords, form and scales.
