Programme note:

The first three Gnossiennes for piano were composed by the French composer Erik Satie around 1890 and published in 1893. The first Gnossienne was dedicated to the music critic and composer Alexis Roland-Manuel in the 1913 reprint.

"Gnossienne" was a word that did not exist before Satie used it as a title for a composition. The word appears to be derived from the Greek noun for knowledge - "gnosis". Satie was involved in gnostic sects and movements at the time that he began to compose the Gnossiennes.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
