Je te veux (I Want You) is a sung waltz, or valse chantée, by Erik Satie to erotic lyrics by Henry Pacory. Its two verses and repeated chorus were written for Paulette Darty, whose accompanist Satie had been and who first sang it in 1903 at La Scala, a cabaret in Paris.


Satie composed various versions: for piano and voice, as published in 1903; for an orchestra of brass instruments; for full orchestra, with a trio section added between the chorus and the second verse; and at some point for solo piano including this added trio section.


My Arrangment for standard wind quintet is of the solo piano version, so it includes the additional trio section.


The melody is shared amongst the 4 top instruments, and the quintet do NOT play tutti all the way through.
