Jean Sibelius

Pan and Echo, op. 53a

Op. 53a Composed 1908 Orchestral

Pan and Echo (in Swedish Pan och Echo; in Finnish: Pan ja Kaiku; subtitled "Dance intermezzo No. 3"), Op. 53, is tableau music for orchestra written in early 1906 by the Finnish composer by Jean Sibelius. The piece premiered in Helsinki on 24 March 1906, with Sibelius conducting the Helsinki Philharmonic Society; the venue was the original location of the Hotelli Seurahuone (Helsinki City Hall since 1913).

Though brief, Pan and Echo is, according to Sibelius's biographer Andrew Barnett, "poetic, full of feeling, and scored with great sensitivity".
