What a wonderful composition. I first listened to it 489 days ago when Owl introduced me. I've since listened to it during long runs, while driving through West Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountain's in a rain storm and while trying to get my daughter to have a "quiet time." It's an incredibly emotive piece. I adore it.

Jesus; It's been a little more than a year already? I could still post tons of links of composers everyone should check out and never be done with it. Classical is just so damned replete with amazing composers. I'm glad my post was appreciated enough to be talked about to this day!

Make a personal tag for that, and I'll follow it.

That's a good idea; I think I'll do that.

...And it's done. Sort of. It's a kind of part 1, I guess:

I put my personal tag on it, though I dunno if anyone else could see it, so I figure posting it here wouldn't hurt.

Blood Sweat and Tears used the Three Gymnopedies as the first cut on their second album. The album came out in 1968, probably introducing millions of rock fans to Erik Satie.

I've had that post saved forever. Probably where I first found out about Satie.

Nice. I think I'll go edit the tag and add it to my music.thenewgreen tag.
