Score and parts downloaded upon payment
Syrinx, L. 129, is a piece of music for solo flute which Claude Debussy (August 22, 1862-March 25, 1918) wrote in 1913. It was the first significant piece for solo flute after the Sonata in A minor composed by C. P. E. Bach over 150 years before, and was the first such solo composition for the modern Böhm flute, developed in 1847.
Syrinx is commonly considered to be an indispensable part of any flutist's repertoire. Many musical historians believe that "Syrinx", which gives the performer generous room for interpretation and emotion, played a pivotal role in the development of solo flute music in the early twentieth century.
The piece is commonly performed off stage, as it is thought when Debussy dedicated the piece to the flutist Louis Fleury, it was for him to play during the interval of one of Debussy's ballets.
Syrinx was written as part of incidental music to the play Psyché by Gabriel Mourey, and was originally called "Flûte de Pan". It was given its final name in reference to the myth of the amorous pursuit of the nymph Syrinx by the god Pan, in which Pan falls in love with Syrinx, however, as Syrinx does not return the love to Pan, she turns herself into a water reed and hides in the marshes. Pan cuts the reeds to make his pipes, in turn killing his love.
This arrangement for flute choir was done by Kellogg Johnson, a woodwind player in the Baltimore MD for years and was originally a fantasy based on thematic material form Syrinx.
