The second excerpt is called
Syrinx
and it was composed by Claude Debussy.
Syrinx
is a piece about a mythical creature that is half man and half goat. He has a passion for a particular nymph and in this piece he is yearning for her. Syrinx was known for playing a flute which is probably why that instrument was chosen for this piece.
Take a listen, identify the texture and explain how you reached your conclusion.
