Intended as incidental music for the uncompleted play Psyché by Gabriel Mourey, the piece tells the story of the god Pan's amorous pursuit of the nymph Syrinx. Syrinx does not return Pan's love and turns herself into a water reed to hide in the marshes. Pan cuts these reeds to make into pipes, in turn killing his love.

solo flute Syrinx, L. 129, is a piece of music for solo flute which Claude Debussy wrote in 1913. It generally takes three minutes or less to perform. It was the first significant piece for solo flute after the Sonata in A minor composed by C. P. E.

In fact, Syrinx was composed for Mouray's dramatized poem titled Psyché, with the aim of serving as background music and without any ambition to become a concert piece in its own right.

Syringomyelia cyst (syrinx) in the spinal cord Syringomyelia (sih-ring-go-my-E-lee-uh) is the development of a fluid-filled cyst (syrinx) within your spinal cord. Over time, the cyst can enlarge, damaging your spinal cord and causing pain, weakness and stiffness, among other symptoms.

There are multiple themes associated with flute music that helps the audience understand its role in the play. The flute symbolizes childhood, nature, and death.

Debussy's music, especially his overtly Symbolist works like Pelléas et Mélisande, certainly conveys this dreamlike quality.

Writing music about water came naturally to Claude Debussy. His father was a sailor and encouraged young Claude's imagination with stories about vast waters and exotic lands. A family visit to Cannes, France fueled what would become his lifelong fascination with the many moods water can evoke as it moves.

There are broadly three types of syringomyelia. The most common type is associated with congenital (from birth) brain abnormalities, while the second type develops as a complication following spinal trauma, infection or tumour. The third type is caused by unknown factors and is called idiopathic syringomyelia.

Common signs/symptoms include pain in the neck and shoulders, muscle weakness, pain and stiffness in the legs, numbness or decreased sensation, especially to hot and cold, abnormal curvature of the spine (scoliosis), muscle contractions, and uncoordinated movements (ataxia).

It is universal and cosmopolitan. Music soothes everyone's heart irrespective of their caste, colour and creed. So the author says that to hear any flute is to be drawn into the commonality of all mankind.
