Gymnop Dies Arranged For Violin Flute Clarinet And Piano

The Three Gymnopédies are the ultimate in quiet minimal pieces. They have been recorded by many instruments from synthesizer to soprano saxophone. Any one of these pieces would be a great change of pace on a concert or recital or would also work well as background music at a wedding or church service. This version is for tenor sax and keyboard (piano or organ). (8:35)
