Syrinx- by Claude Debussy
ÒClaude Debussy wrote "Syrinx (La Flute De Pan)“ based on Pan's sadness over losing his love.
ÒThis piece was the first unaccompanied flute solo of the 20th century, and remains a very popular addition to the modern flutist's repertoire.
ÒSyrinx (Greek Συριγξ) was a nymph and a follower of Artemis , known for her chastity. Pursued by the amorous Greek god Pan, she ran to the river's edge and asked for assistance from the river nymphs. In answer, she was transformed into hollow water reeds that made a haunting sound when the god's frustrated breath blew across them. Pan cut the reeds to fashion the first set of pan pipes, which were thenceforth known as syrinx.( Story)
