French composer Erik Satie is mainly known for his Gymnopédies', a composition of three piano works completed in April 1888. The work's unusual title comes from the French form of gymnopaedia', the ancient Greek word for an annual festival where young men danced naked or perhaps simply unarmed. Uruguayan arranger Martin Jorge transcribed the most well know of the set, Gymnopédie I', for Symphonic Band.
