“Macedonian Syrinx” - Program Notes
In classical mythology, Syrinx was a chaste nymph who was claimed by the amorous Greek god Pan. In order to avoid him she ran to a river and asked for help from the river nymphs. Then, the nymphs transformed her into hollow water reeds that made a haunting sound when the god's frustrated breath blew across them. Later, Pan cut the reeds to create the first set of pan pipes, which were thenceforth known as syrinx. The flute family has the similar timber to the syrinx and I adore the way these high register instruments result in a texture of heterophony and melodies with sustained notes (“drones”). This piece’s energy and festivity attributes to the complexity of the compound mixed rhythms which are traditionally used in folk music of Macedonia, the central northern region of Greece, and is written for piccolo flute and flute.
