Oil painting on Cotton Canvas The Gymnopaedia, in ancient Sparta, was a yearly celebration during which naked youths displayed their athletic and martial skills through the medium of war dancing. The custom was introduced in 668 BC concurrently with the introduction of naked athletics. French composer Erik Satie (1866-1925) made series of compositions named 'Gymnopedies'. less well-known is that Satie seems to have invented the term “gymnopedie” himself. But it’s not entirely clear what he meant by it. There have been, in fact, scholarly papers written debating exactly how Satie came up with the word. Satie was, by all accounts, a strange but clever duck. A famous anecdote, probably at least partly apocryphal, recounts the aspiring composer’s first visit, in 1887, to Le Chat Noir (The Black Cat) nightclub, at that time the epicenter of the Paris musical scene. According to the story, Satie, lacking any artistic reputation at that point, arranged for his arrival to be announced by a friend with the words “Erik Satie, gymnopediste.” Rodolphe Salis, Le Chat Noir’s formidable proprietor, is said to have been temporarily taken aback, finally responding, “That’s quite an occupation.”
