| Added by dbuckley, 20 Aug 2013 This composition displays a musical interpretation of an ordinary day in the life of the Greek God of Nature known as Pan. The Flute line in this work represents Pan while the motifs in the cello and double bass represent his adventures and environments throughout the day from morning to evening. Each key change and/or time signature change represents a different moment in time during Pan’s day; from his awakening and pondering of what the day will bring up through his flirtatious adventures with the Nymphs, and all the way up to his evening rest. I have broken it all down here as follows: M.1-19: Pan’s Awakening and pondering of what the day will bring. M. 20-37: Pan’s morning bath in the lake and his adventures with Water Nymphs. This section in the key of e flat major is both playful and alluring. M.38-56: Pan’s early morning run in the meadow. A moderately paced section in 6/8 time representing Pan’s joy as he frolics through the meadow. M.57-75: Pan is taking his afternoon nap when at the end of the section he is violently awakened. Pan was well known for his temper tantrums and chaos that followed such an event. The word Panic is derived from this exact scenario. M.76-112: Here Pan is seen going on a rampage of anger from being woken up from his nap; this fast paced section is twice as long as the others. M.113-131: Pan enjoys a moderately paced late evening walk in the forest and he reflects carefully upon his day as well as ways to trick unwary travelers. M. 131-150: Pan lays down to sleep reflecting upon the events of his day. | |||
