   • Gymnopedies & Gnossiennes: Erik Satie  

"The Gnossiennes draw upon the cult of round-dances and stepping dances of the inhabitants of the town of Knossos; the Greek word gnosis, however, also means 'insight' or 'judgement'. Once more Satie plays with various possible interpretations within a genre. The harmonic, musical and even technical proximity of the Gnossiennes Nos. 1-3 (1890) to the Gymnopedies is clearly to be felt. In a departure from his customary 'ecriture musicale', Satie leaves out bar-lines and time signatures, for example. A Grecian-Oriental model sense of harmony takes the place of conventional major/minor tonality. What is striking in these works is Satie's method of composing with 'build-ing-blocks', where the small phrases that are the substance of the piece can be interchanged and repeated at whim. The Gnossiennes Nos. 4-6 (written between 1889-1897) differ from the first three in their harmonic complexity and in the greater technical demands of their accompanying figures" Taken from the preface to the Schott edition of the score.
