SATIE - Variations for Orchestra (hire set)

SATIE - Variations for Orchestra (hire set)

Composer: Gary Carpenter

OrchestralOrchestra

Hire Only

Catalogue no: CM927

SATIE - Variations for Orchestra was composed in Holland-On-Sea, Essex and was completed on 28th June 1993. It lasts around 20 minutes.

There are three perspectives or levels of variation in SATIE:

Level 1: variants derived from the Choral Inappetisant (Sports et Divertissements);
Level 2: variants of Les Fils Des Étoiles which occur even though the original material is never heard;
Level 3: variants of other pieces by Satie that flit ephemerally across the score, torn, as it were, from many possible sets of variations.
