Gymnopédie No. 1Erik Satie
Composed in 1888, Erik Satie’s Gymnopédie No.
1 from Three Gymnopédies remains a beloved masterpiece more than 130 years later.
Marked “Lent et douloureux” (“Slowly, with pain”), the piece floats in a gentle triple meter with shimmering major seventh chords, evoking a certain sadness while enveloping the listener in a tender warmth.
In 1897, Satie’s friend Claude Debussy orchestrated it, helping the work gain wider recognition.
In Japan, it has frequently been used in television commercials—by companies such as Shiseido, Ebara Foods, and staffing agencies—so many people may have heard it there.
It has also been selected for figure skating programs.
Listening to it before bedtime or on a night after a tiring day at work can bring a soothing sense of relief, as if the heart is gently lightened.
lyric poemL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
L’Arc~en~Ciel’s song “Jojoushi” is highly acclaimed overseas.
The more you love L’Arc’s musicality, the more highly you’ll likely rate this piece.
Its greatest charm is, above all, the flowing, beautiful vocal line.
Although the song frequently switches between falsetto and chest voice, all the falsetto parts sit at a certain height, so even those who lack confidence in their falsetto volume can feel at ease.
Rather than lowering the key to adjust, it’s recommended to focus on producing your head voice and adjust by raising the key instead.
Please use this as a reference.
