Over the years, Erik Satie was described as a precursor of movements and styles as varied as Impressionism, Neo-Classicism, Dada, Surrealism, Conceptual art, minimalism, and ambient music. As well as taking the first steps towards techniques such as prepared piano and music-to-film synchronisation, Satie became one of the first musicians to perform a cameo appearance in a film, in 1924's Entr'acte by the French filmmaker René Clair.

Satie appears to have been the avant-garde to half of the avant-garde movements of the twentieth century. He was in contact with Tristan Tzara, the initiator of the Dada movement. He got to know the other Dadaists, such as Francis Picabia (later to become a Surrealist), André Derain, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. Satie contributed to the Dadaist publication 391. In the first months of 1922, he was surprised to find himself entangled in the argument between Tzara and André Breton. Satie originally sided with Tzara, but managed to maintain friendly relations with most players in both camps.

Satie is today regarded as a key modernist composer. As well as influencing contemporaries such as Claude Debussy, who orchestrated two of Satie's Gymnopédies, Maurice Ravel, and a group of composers known as the Les Six, his tendency towards simplicity and repetition continue to inform modern avant-garde genres.

I played this on the recorder as my second instrument music exam. At the time, I had never actually said the pieces name nor had any clue how to say it. So I confidently stood in front of the examiner and said "I will be playing jim-no-pedy number 2 on the recorder" and just the absolute look of confusion I got from my music teacher and the examiner is something I will always remember.

It´s French, Satie was French and he made it up.. So French pronunciation would make it jim-no-pay-dee, which is probably how he pronounced it... There is no real equivalent to a soft French G in English, but J isn´t all that bad. A bit towards Y.. and a soft D thrown in, with low voice and some breath.
(But Englishmen and Americans have a way of claiming things are pronounced the way they mispronounce it with great authority.)
As long as people understand you, there is no right pronunciation. It´s ´right´ pronunciation in French was already a mispronunciation of a romanised version of an original Greek name of some dance festival and who knows where they got it from (possibly Tsakonian, a peculiar dialect of ancient Greek).
Language is a moving target is my point. It belongs to the human race and if you are a member you are golden no matter your pronunciation. We are born to communicate and never let anyone shut you up or feel awkward about it :)

To show you what I mean... it´s not really "recorder either." It´s pronounced originally "recorday", from the middle French (recorder), which got it from the Latin "recordor" which got it´s root from proto-indo-european "kerd" look it up and laugh... You can basically do this with every word, ´s called etymology and it will rid you of any pronunciation insecurities..

During the time this was written, people were realizing that life wasn’t some huge purpose and reason. It was just and is. When philosophers and scientists started exploring and expanding their knowledge for other people, that’s when religion didn’t become necessary in a society, only optional. As you notice for all of the gymnopedies, the last note doesn’t resolve, just as life doesn’t resolve. I’m religious and I accept the meaning of these pieces. Life doesn’t resolve because there isn’t a meaning to life which means life never resolved it just goes and ends. That’s why these paintings are depressing.

I remember listening to this on a MiniDisc on Christmas Day 2001. I was in Scarborough, North Yorkshire and was standing near the castle, looking down on the South Bay. I felt quite alone and vulnerable but I had my car to take me to my own home at the end of the day, a nice meal at home, a bed and employment the day after. It wasn't so bleak upon that realisation. I shall always think of that day when I hear this music.

Like Kelvin said, art can be interpreted in many ways.
But there's something more to why people feel so calm when listening to the Gymnopédies. Of course, they spiral progressively with each piece, becoming more and more melancholy--I'd even say hauntingly dark and bitter, by the third composition--but that's not all the Gymnopédies are.
I'm not a musician, but there's something about them...
There's a word in Portuguese that doesn't have a solid English translation; "saudade," is something close to longing and happiness at the same time. It's the feeling one gets when they remember something or someone that was present in their life before, but is no longer there. It's sadness and happiness and longing in retrospect of memories. It has ties to loss, but love as well. Whenever I listen to the Gymnopédies, it reminds me of my own past, which, like anyone else's, hurts to think about--but it's not like I don't remember the joyful memories fondly. I just can't help but feel like I'm missing something that I had before.
And then there's also the tone of resignation that the three pieces give off, especially the second. Like a very young man who has everything going for him--a steady job, a regular apartment, the same day to day schedule--but that's exactly it. It's all the same. He feels empty. He feels like he's missing out on something precious. And he can't do anything about it, so he just accepts his comfortable, grey-scale, cubicle prison.
Gymnopédie is a word that has its roots in Ancient Greek. "Gymno" means naked and "ped" roughly means child. The Greek word "gymnopaidiai" is in reference to Spartan tradition where young male athletes (still boys) would strip naked and lather themselves in oil, then perform dances before war. Whatever Satie had in mind while he wrote them or when he gave them that title, who knows.
No matter what the interpretation you got from the piece, you have to admit that all three have a very calm tone despite the pain that leaks through their notes.

Although some said this is very similar to No.1, No.2 much more painful in my opinion. There are moments which tear my heart apart. But I do prefer No.1 more, in terms of delicacy and emotions.

@buzzoff5026

8y↑27

It's funny you say that, because No. 1 is called "Lent et douloureux", douloureux meaning painful. Although, No. 1 seems far more cheery, and this one seems painful, despite meaning to give off the feeling of sorrow.

@buzzoff5026

8y↑14

Edit: I wouldn't actually call the first one cheery. I feel like I described it wrong. I feel that it's more... Beautiful and delicate. I'm really sorry for being so poetic, but I'm trying to really put my feelings into words properly.

@freddiesalone

8y↑20

I would say for No.1, the kind of pain is so mild that I desire to feel alive; for No.2 it's a trauma that I want to forget yet impossible to do so.

@dude3049

Satie's music has been an immense inspiration to future composers and musical movements such as the Avant Garde Minimalist movement in the 60's. You can even hear the minimal style in his music with its repetitive structures and simple melodies and harmonies that are still able to invoke ambient atmospheres and colours. Such a style is seen as the basis for the technique of future composers such as Glass, Pärt, Adams, Franssens, Riley, and Reich. They have much to owe to Satie for their style and inspiration.
Edit:
By the way, Glass has also written a piece in homage to Satie called "Music in the Shape of a Square".

Currently getting myself back into classical music after a 10 year hiatus. In order to keep things simple I am learning all three Gymnopedies and I could not be more excited. Such beautiful music. I think these are great examples of pieces which can separate an average pianist from a good one. It's so easy to just play these songs mechanically, it's another to make them sound stunning with great musicality.

I love reading my ancient rhetoric texts on this music, it's very stimulating and calm and peaceful at the same time. :)

When I hear this, I imagine myself standing in the middle of a harbour watching some ships and boats at the cove while some seagulls fly over the sky on a hot, slightly clouded spring afternoon.

Really cause when I bite into a York peppermint patty I feel like I'm blasting across a frozen lake on jet powered skates at 600 miles per hour. Ha ha ha

I have read somewhere that there was a time in his life that Satie would play solo piano/background music in a local cafe in exchange for coffee and croissants, and that this music was composed while he was doing that (and might explain his reference to some of his own music as 'furniture music').
