While I've spent a large chunk of this year working on my OoT album, I know that some of you have been wanting me to post another classical piece, and I did get some comments specifically asking for this one, so let it be known that I haven't forgotten you, classical music fans!
Although it was published in 1888, I think this Gymnopedie really transcended its era - still one of the most recognised pieces of classical music out there, its simplicity is timeless, and of course it has been adapted and covered regularly by all kinds of artists across the musical spectrum (my first experience of the piece was as a child listening the version on the 1979 Sky album, featuring John Williams, on my parents record player!).
The simplicity of building a whole piece around two initial chords is equally maddening and intriguing. While preparing to record and film this, I had this thought about the piece: it sounds as though, when you reach the end, you could start again from the beginning and let the piece continue to play, forever. And what if the piece was always playing, somewhere, by someone...? A never ending cycle, always returning to Gmaj7, Dmaj7...

Amy, as a child in the US--Toledo, Ohio--I heard this piece used as background music in at least one public service message. I liked it but had no clue as to what it was. I do not believe I learned the name of it until I was a young adult and heard it on Detroit radio station WJR, on "Adventures In Good Music" w/ Karl Haas.
Is there any way this can be played on celtic harp? Idk because I'm still learning xx
you can play the giornno theme??? pls
I would not regard Gymnopédies as classical music nor would it's creator, Erik Satie. He referred to it as "furnishing music" as it was meant to played in the background of specific events such as when guests enter a party. He eventually abandoned the project due to the frustrating experience that people would focus on the music rather than letting it play in the background as he hoped they would experience it as one would architecture or a serene landscape. Lovely rendition, your playing is beautiful.
This is exquisite, I had never heard it played so slow but it works brilliantly. Your music makes me cry every time, thank you!!
My mother who sadly died in 2005 was a piano teacher, this particular tune was something she played, so it has a deep meaning for me. Thankyou for such an enchanting rendition Amy. Love from Bristol. Take care.
I can’t relate with your mother, but this song has always resonated with me and I’ve never heard it in my life
My mother died on July 15, 2005. This song was the her cellphone touch.
Today, a dear friend died. She used to play this piece occasionally. She loved it so much. ❤
Masterful, as ever, Amy. I would love to hear you play Debussy's Arabesque No. 1 - has such a dream-like quality to it.
ya
Absolutely, that's one of my favourite songs to decompress to; always takes me on a dream-like journey in my mind's eye.
"Music is the space between the notes." This you proved true.
Very true and well said
This song reaches into me deeper than other other piece of music ever has.
I always wanted to hear you play Gymnopedie!!! This is so goood, really relaxing as well. Thank you!
finally, a version where the musician feels it rather than just playing it. thank you
Amy, the first time I heard you was Toccata and Fugue in D minor, subscribed as soon as I got my breath again, have listened to almost everything you have released, became a patron and I have loved to watch your performances, another Splendid video! Brava!!!
Thanks so much for your support x
Ah, a man of wealth and taste
Very soothing, I think I'll listen again tonight before bed. I can't think of a more beautiful way to end a Sunday evening!
2 years later, it's Sunday evening, a capital idea!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Satie and Debussy were both angels bringing the sounds of heaven to Earth. Thank you, Amy.
This should have 10 million hits .. but we live in a world that struggles to recognize deeper art and beauty.
the camera switches. the colors. the atmosphere. the piece. the harp. you. what more could I ask for?
One of my favourite pieces, a beautiful rendition!
Je viens de découvrir cette harpiste que je ne connaissais pas avant . Mes yeux et mes oreilles sont remplis de larmes de bonheur et d'émotion . Mais quel culot de reprendre Satie à la harpe . Et pourtant , c'est aussi beau que mille étoiles dans le ciel qui se posent sur mon oreille . Merci Amy pour le bonheur musical que tu me donne et je t'embrasse de tout mon cœur . NOEBERT .
So glad i subscribed to this channel. You truly have a gift for this!
i am very stressed because of family problems and I began to listen to this and it instantly calmed me. Thank you so much for your beautiful playing. You reach people everywhere.
Unless I'm missing something about the harp/piano relationship, I believe this and most of these classical works were made for piano.
How then do you make it sound like all of these were made for the harp? It's amazing.
A harp is basically a piano on its side without the keys. A piano works when you press the keys which lower a hammer on to a string. Harps are basically just the strings inside a piano
Yeah, like kyle was saying, essentially any piano piece can be used for harp- but fingerings are a little different (Piano uses 5 fingers, harp uses 4 [we don't use the pinky]) and harps can't sometimes do some stuff pianos do, and vice versa. So yep!
I know you play a lot of LoZ stuff (which is also incredible), but this is a true song of healing for me. When you played those first two chords my stress started melting away. Many thanks for recording these beauties for the world to see.
If Amy ran for president, I'd vote for her.
this is very nice but sort of silly. i‘ll like anyways
The first few notes made me cry. Felt like my soul was being pulled out (in the most beautiful way). Wow. Just wow.
I always wanted to hear this on the harp. Now I need atleast a 3 hour version of it...💜😍🌙🌌💜
Made me shed a tear or two. Very soothing and touching interpretation.
UA-cam recommended you and I am glad they did. I've been checking out much of your music and I love everything I have heard. I have loved this piece for years and there is something about the harp that makes it special.
This is so gorgeous, and of course I could never expect anything less than amazing! Love your channel 💞
This brings back memories
i watch your videos when im high. so good.
마음이 편안해지는
정말 아름다운 선율입니다
Pleasantness of this simple and graceful music is immeasurable and endless profound
Lovely of you to play this wonder 🥰 it was a pleasant surprise
so glad to heaar this beautiful timeless music thank you
The genius of you comes shining through in the utter execution of this masterpiece of simplicity. Amy, you are TRULY the 9th wonder of the world ! I am fortunate to have found you in my lifetime !
I just discovered you after Ben Turk shared this on his facebook. Absolutely amazing work. I'll definitely be sticking around to hear more.
You always pick the best stuff.
Very slow but it kind of works at this speed on harp. I've got to say your recording preparation is absolutely immaculate. The sound is just stunning, and as a bonus your harp is just about perfectly in tune, which is quite rare! Lovely playing, as usual.
It is supposed to be played like this. Slow and painful.
You're probably not a string player or piano tuner, actually the harp is rather out of tune.
Brought tears to my eyes, lovely song on a beautiful instrument by an extremely talented musician.
I'm in love with this
I just had this pop into my head and the urge to watch this video again. Just what I needed on this lazy Sunday. It's Martinez btw x
Amy, I just found your channel, and I am in complete awe at the sheer talent and dedication it takes to master what I know to be a very difficult instrument!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful music with the world. I am an instant fan!
Such calming and nice sounds coming from your harp!
Harika
She gives good vibrations to the world
Thank you, Amy! 👏👏👏👏
This is the supreme masterpiece of Satie's aesthetics .
This is her supreme performance .
I am just intoxicated with her effulgent performance .
From chaotic and invincible Tokyo of the Land of Rising Sun .
One thing I love about watching people play instruments is how the movements are like dancing. Dancing with the instrument.. Dancing making music.
Beautiful!!! I always wanted to learn this thing on piano, but I didn't know the title of it. Now I now its title thanks to YOU! 😊 Thank you!!! 👍🇬🇧🇷🇺
This tempo is supreme to the more common tempo. I always know when Amy's version of this comes up in the playlist. The best.
Beautiful Amy! I've always loved this very thoughtful and beautiful piece, it's on my list of 'I'd love to play this one day' pieces!
One of my Favorite songs to just sit, close my eyes and listen.
Top notch
Simply lovely 😊. Thank you 🙏 for sharing your talent. ❤️
A beautiful and sensitive piece. ☺
I needed this.
Slower than I've heard it before... she must be from the David Lynch school of music appreciation. There's no rush :)
The performance directions on the music literally read, "slow and painful," so I tried to respect the slow bit...!
@@amyturkharp Hi Amy, about "painful', I have had a couple of beers at this point of the evening and am feeling no pain! Nice performance of one of my favorite compositions.
@@071949 To be fair I could have used some of this in the dentist chair today to take my mind off the drilling... but my dentist is more into Bhangra.
@@amyturkharp
Exactly the way Eric Satie intended it to be played, and the exact tempo that my mother insisted I play it when she taught it to me on piano when I was a boy. Beautifully done, Amy. 💖
It is indeed slow. This piece has you imagining that you are taking a walk in the Bois de Boulogne, in early morning, after an assignation of questionable sobriety but maximal emotion the night before. How do you feel?
This is one of my favorite pieces. Thanks
An absolute dream 🎼🕯 thank you ⭐️🌌✨
Good job my mother loves this song it took me so long to find it
Beautiful. Just like your soul, Amy. ^_^ You chose the perfect shade of aqua blue for the tone this piece.
Beautiful one of my all time favorite songs thank you 🙏
Thank taking me dancing with Satie. Good video editing
Divine... thank you for this!
What a lovely thought - Satie playing in the background of the world somewhere, forever. This is one of my favorite pieces; its simplicity is the best part of its loveliness, I think (which is not to say that I'm assuming it's easy to play!). Thank you so much for sharing it.
This is absolutely incredible. I'm so glad I stumbled on to your music channel. Thank working so hard and sharing. 😍
Just beautiful!
This is beautiful ! Thank you for sharing ❤😌
The aesthetics of the background just add to the ethereal elegance. Thank you 💙
I'm so happy I subscribed. I love hearing harp solos. Your Clair de Lune helps me fall asleep. :)
You have the best interpretation on all your pieces. Whenever I learn these classics on piano I use your recordings as reference. You're ears are golden
Beautifully played.
I am actually learning this on the harp right now!
Love you your cover😁
Just found this channel today. Wow. Love the music. Such talent. And this piece of music? Wonderful. Thank you Amy.
This was awesome!!
Thank you again wonderful girl 💖
I never knew I liked the harp so much
This is a literal masterpiece.

Mesmerizing!
Absolutely exquisite!
This truly is a match made in Heaven. Someone incredibly beautiful playing the harp and such a beautiful piece. Can it get any better than this?
Me: Well of course it can! Amy Turk never fails to disappoint.

I need an hour or 3 of this 🥰💜
This piece is very fitting for the harp. Thanx!

You’ve got the absolute sauce. Cadence is on point.
I cry every time!
Wonderful
I always remember this from the first Blood, Sweat & Tears album. :-)
Amazing
Nice pick, lovely song. *bows and keeps listening*
So beautiful🌵
Beautiful 💜💚💙
Her wonderful performance must quench and moisturize your parched soul
A song about an antique greek event played on an antique instrument which was often used in ancient greek times.
Fits perfectly well ;)
Unrelated but i really hope she'll do a 'once upon a dream' cover one day. It's such a beautiful piece that seems so suitable for the harp but i can't seem to find any decent sheet music for it
Es taann aaaaaaaahhh u//u
The theme to my independence & individuality
