notes to the conductor The simlicity of the melody and the orchestration is contrasted with the comlexity of the harmonic structure of the iece tyical of Satie You may wish to introduce this harmonic structure to the students by describing the chord structure of the first two measures (both major seventh chords) the instruments that are laying the major seventh notes of the chord and the overall sounds that are created with them Although at first this will sound quite dissonant to the young students the reetition of this harmonic structure for the first 16 measures will hel the students to learn this modern sound which Satie used Other examles throughout may be examined in the same manner eel free to adjust the dynamic levels to balance your ensemble but kee the overall sound at the levels indicated review Only Legal Use Requires urchase
