Cette pièce pour flûte seule fut composée en 1913, et publiée par les éditions Jobert en 1927, soit près de dix ans après la mort de Claude Debussy. A l'origine elle était intitulée Flûte de Pan et servait de musique de scène à un spectacle théâtral, Psyché , de Gabriel Mourey. Le titre Syrinx vient du nom d'une nymphe aimée du dieu Pan qui la fit périr en la poursuivant et qui, après qu'elle fut métamorphosée en roseau, imagina et confectionna, à partir des tiges du roseau, l'instrument qui porte son nom. Dans l'oeuvre du compositeur, ce lamento funèbre est à rapprocher des nombreuses oeuvres hantées par des faunes ( Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, Fêtes galantes, thème du pâtre de La Boîte à joujoux , et Pour invoquer Pan , des Epigraphes antiques ). Compositeur/Auteur : DEBUSSY Claude Discipline/Instrument : flûte Support : Partition Style/Genre : classique Date de parution : janv.-27 Nombre de pages : 3

Debussy was asked by his friend Gabriel Mourey to provide a score for his adaptation of the Psyche myth. Although at first reluctant, Debussy did eventually write a short incidental work for Mourey's play; Syrinx,which is scored for Solo Flute.

SYRINX, L. 129/CD 137 by Claude Debussy (1862-1918) is among the most famous works for solo flute and is considered to be an indispensable part of the flutist's repertoire. The first solo flute work of any significance since C.P.E. Bach's SONATA in A minor, written over 150 years prior, SYRINX is also credited with reinvigorating the flute as a solo instrument, a trend that continues still. Written as part of the incidental music to Gabriel Mourey's play PSYCHÉ, the short work was originally entitled FLÛTE DE PAN, and it is thought that it was intended to be played off-stage by the dedicatee, famous French flutist Louis Fleury.

Syrinx Collage, a piano accompaniment (only) suggested by Debussy's Syrinx for flute alone. Syrinx Collage was written at the suggestion of the composer’s father and first flute teacher, Paul , who first taught him the piece when he was twelve. Syrinx is Schocker's favorite flute piece and he has always been curious about what the underlying chords might be. While not trying to slavishly imitate Debussy, his accompaniment has a Debussy-esque quality. We hope it will give flutists another view of this great work.
