This is my arrangement of Satie's most famous composition, surely known by almost every human. It is a simple, impressionistic piece written for piano, but is has been orchestrated many times. This would be the arrangement that I put together for my own band. I played all instruments on this recording, and of note I used Sol Hoopii's 1940s Rickenbacher bakelite lap steel.
