Le Fils des étoiles (Préludes)

by Erik Satie

Composed 1891
Published 1896
Works 3

Three preludes composed for a Rosicrucian mystery play by Joséphin Péladan (1891). Written in modal counterpoint without barlines, they represent Satie's most sustained attempt at mystical austerity. Rarely performed but historically important as precursors of both Impressionism and modal minimalism.
