Editing Pan (god) (section)

=== Revival in music ===
Pan inspired pieces of classical music by [[Claude Debussy]]. [[Syrinx (Debussy) |''Syrinx'']], written as part of [[incidental music]] to the play ''Psyché'' by [[Gabriel Mourey]], was originally called "Flûte de Pan". ''[[Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune]]'' was based on a poem by [[Stéphane Mallarmé]].

The story of Pan is the inspiration for the first movement in [[Benjamin Britten]]'s work for solo oboe, [[Six Metamorphoses after Ovid]] first performed in 1951. Inspired by characters from [[Ovid]]'s fifteen-volume work [[Metamorphoses]], Britten titled the movement, "Pan: who played upon the reed pipe which was Syrinx, his beloved."

The British rock band [[Pink Floyd]] named its first album ''[[The Piper at the Gates of Dawn]]'' in reference to Pan as he appears in ''[[The Wind in the Willows]]''. Andrew King, Pink Floyd's manager, said [[Syd Barrett]] "thought Pan had given him an understanding into the way nature works. It formed into his holistic view of the world."<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last= Soar |first= Katy |date= 2022 |title= The Piper at the Gates of Dawn |journal= Hellebore |volume= 8 |issue=The Unveiling Issue |pages=10–19}}</ref>

Musician [[Mike Scott (Scottish musician) |Mike Scott]] of the [[The Waterboys| Waterboys]] refers to Pan as an archetypal force within us all, and talks about his search for “The Pan Within", a theme also reflected in the song’s sequel, “The Return of Pan".<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=Soar |first=Katy |date=2020 |title=The Great Pan in Albion |journal= Hellebore |volume= 2 |issue=The Wild Gods Issue |pages=14–27}}</ref>
