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.

Les Berceaux is how I've always seen the title of the Faure. I have sung it, and I can tell you that the words/meaning are exquisite.
It loses something in translation. In the French one gets a feeling of the rocking. I dunno. It's just wonderful. But here's the translation:
The cradles
English Translation © Richard Stokes
Along the quay the great ships,
Listing silently with the surge,
Pay no heed to the cradles
Rocked by women’s hands.
But the day of parting will come,
For it is decreed that women shall weep,
And that men with questing spirits
Shall seek enticing horizons.
And on that day the great ships,
Leaving the dwindling harbour behind,
Shall feel their hulls held back
By the soul of the distant cradles.

These are some of the most haunting melodies and harmonies I’ve ever heard. This whole selection plays out like an opera.

La música clásica y las pinturas de la época renacentista, es la combinación perfecta 😍 vestigios de una época donde estos maestros dejaron el mayor aporte al arte a la humanidad, gracias por compartirlo 👏🏻

I think this music is not sad, it's send you or shows you how to look at things. It's a peaceful message how the world runs. There is always a message.

Right now I am studying in the basement of the FSU Strozier library; every once in a while I will look up and around me and feel how amazing this world is. Its such a blessing that even in a windowless basement, music like this can let you feel the grace of this world and its emotions.
