Instruments
The pan flute has mythological origins in Pan, the Greek god of herdsmen, who created the instrument from reeds to mourn the nymph Syrinx.
Instruments
The large Jehmlich organ in Kreuzkirche Dresden, built in 1963 and renovated in 2008, is the largest organ in Dresden with 80 stops and nearly 6,300 pipes.
Performer Biography
Sebastian Pachel, the pan flute player, was the first student in Germany to be admitted to a pan flute course at a university.
Compositional Technique
The pan flute and organ are a natural pairing because both instruments produce sound using the same principle.
