Product Description

IMPORTANT NOTE: You get both tablature version and sheet music version in one 7 page PDF! Hopefully this makes these arrangements all-inclusive for different purposes and skill levels. Also the tab version is meant for Drop D tuning and the sheet music is for standard tuning! Just be careful with your printer settings if you don't want two versions!

Features:
1. Impressionism French minimalist piece arranged for guitar in Drop D Tuning.
2. The composer indications in text are not my recommendations, but the original composer's.
2. Guitar tablature added with circles for half notes and whole notes.
3. Measures and time signatures removed to reflect the ethos of the original composer.
4. Engraved to fit on four pages. Many of the lines themselves represent a musical phrase, making my arrangement that much easier to perform musically.
5. Courtesy accidentals added but they just look like regular accidentals. I did this especially because the piece is one gigantic measure and accidental etiquette is hard to follow under those circumstances.
6. Some overly contrived ties removed.

History: The term "Gnossienne" is unique to Satie, likely inspired by the word "Gnosis," which means mystical knowledge. The piece is characterized by it's lack of time signatures and bar lines, giving it a free and flowing feel. The piece is minimalist, with repetitive, haunting melodies and a meditative quality.

This one is a real challenge to engrave because the original composer didn't have bar lines or time signatures. Cool idea but that can cause even the best sheet music programs to glitch out a bit when you have 16/4 hidden time signatures! This especially causes problems with accidentals, and it also causes rhythm problems when multiple voices are happening. As always, I like to try to have notes with upward stems represent the main voice, and downward stems to represent background voices, even though this leads to a bit of messiness with stem collisions.
