Pandora appears in Greek mythology the first woman, created by the gods and sent to earth as an evil addition to the human race. ‘Pan’ means ‘all’ and ‘dora’ means ‘gifted’. Pandora’s Box must by no means be opened. The various stories surrounding this box inspired Yagisawa to write this dramatic piece, an addition to his series of pieces based on Greek mythology, such as Perseus.

Pandora is een figuur uit de Griekse mythologie. Het is de eerste vrouw die de goden naar de aarde zonden. Ze kreeg een doos mee. Oppergod Zeus had de sleutel erbij gegeven en tegen Pandora gezegd dat ze de doos nooit moest openen als ze gelukkig wilde leven. Toch won de nieuwsgierigheid het en Pandora opende de doos. In een klap kwamen daar alle tegenslagen en onheil uit die een mens maar kunnen treffen. De verschillende verhalen rond deze doos inspireerden Yagisawa tot het schrijven van dit dramatische stuk. Het is een aanvulling op zijn reeks werken waarbij hij zich eveneens baseerde op de Griekse mythologie, zoals Perseus.

Pandora erscheint in der griechischen Mythologie als erste Frau, die von den Göttern erschaffen und als böse Ergänzung der Menschheit auf die Erde geschickt wurde. Pan“ bedeutet all-, gesamt“ und dora“ steht für begabt“. Die Büchse der Pandora sollte auf gar keinen Fall geöffnet werden. Die verschiedenen Geschichten um diese Büchse lieferten Yagisawa die Inspiration für das dramatische Stück als Ergänzung seiner Serie an Werken, die auf der griechischen Mythologie basieren, wie zum Beispiel Perseus.

Pa ndore figure dans la mythologie grecque la première femme, créée par les dieux et envoyée sur terre en tant que complément maléfique la race humaine. « Pan » signifie « tout » et « dora » veut dire « doué ». La boîte de Pandore ne doit absolument pas être ouverte ! Les histoires racontées au sujet de cette boîte ont inspiré Satoshi Yagisawa écrire cette oeuvre dramatique, un ajout sa série d’oeuvres basées sur la mythologie grecque.

Pandora compare nella mitologia greca, la prima donna creata dagli dei, mandata sulla terra e causa dei mali futuri del genere umano. ‘Pan’ significa ‘tutto’ e ‘dora’ significa ‘dono’. Il vaso di Pandora non deve essere assolutamente aperto. Le varie storie che circondano il vaso hanno ispirato Yagisawa nella scrittura di un pezzo drammatico, che si aggiunge alla sua serie di pezzi basati sulla mitologia greca come Perseus.

Pando ra Undone is, in turns, both lighthearted and serious. The music depicts a young, naive Pandora who, while dancing around her house, spies a mysterious box. She tries to resist opening it, but her curiosity ultimately gets the best of her. When she cracks the lid open and looks inside, all evils escape into the world. Dismayed by what she has done, she looks inside the box once more. She discovers hope still in the box and releases it to temper the escaped evils and assuage mankind's new burden.

In Greek mythology, Zeus gave Pandora a box, but warned her never to open it. But the urge to open it overcame her. All of life’s miseries came out of the box, let free into the world. The final thing remaining in the box was hope, and a new beginning. This powerful and poignant work depicts Pandora’s myth. A bold and forceful opening statement gives way to a beautiful and haunting melody. Lush and mournfully dissonant harmonies gradually build to a climax of incredible emotion and power. As the music ends, we are reminded of a new hope and a new beginning, creating a sensitive and memorable moment. A meaningful and significant addition to the concert band repertoire; destined to be a classic.

The Finnish composer Osmo Tapio Räihälä reports that he experienced a phase whilst working on his Horn Concerto in 2011 during which he had the feeling of “having landed in a deadend”. To find a remedy, he decided to develop a kind of “finger exercise” for composers, comparable to the “warming-up process of an instrumental soloist before performing”. Räihälä remembers furthermore: “Instead of writing for orchestra, I started a short solo piece for clarinet. Little did I know that I had opened a Pandora's box! I wrote 'Soliloque 1: Étoffé' in two days. Perhaps this frenzy caused the music to become restless, with quick turns – in short, a rather virtuosic etude. The clarinet seeks paths, at first without success, but obviously finding one in the end. And what about the Pandora's Box? I had given the title the number one, and during the next two years I wrote five more Soliloques, solos of six to seven minutes, for various instruments, as well as one for soprano a cappella. The title Étoffé means 'rich', or 'well rounded', but also 'fabric' or even a 'patch' - and I felt that I had patched something in my work that was broken; indeed, working on the concerto now gave me a fresh start.”.
