about

This is an arrangement of Claude Debussy's Syrinx for solo piano.

Syrinx (originally called Flûte de Pan) was composed as incidental music, to be performed offstage during Gabriel Mourey’s play ‘Psyché’. Written as a flute solo, this hypnotic melody no doubt sounds better on that instrument, and it's considered indispensable to any modern flutist's repertoire.

The title 'Syrinx' is still a reference to the myth of Pan, regarding his amorous pursuit of the nymph Syrinx, a follower of Artemis. Syrinx, rejecting Pan's advances, came to the river nymphs and asked for assistance. In answer, she was transformed into hollow water reeds, making a haunting sound when the god's frustrated breath blew across them. Using those reeds, Pan created the first set of panpipes, which were thenceforth known as 'syrinx'.
