Gheorghe Zamfir - The Lonely Shepherd ( Kill Bill Soundtrack )

The Lonely Shepherd, also known as "Einsamer Hirte" or "Der einsame Hirte" in German or as "El pastor solitario" in Spanish, is an instrumental piece by James Last, first released in a recording with the Romanian panflutist Gheorghe Zamfir.

Gheorghe Zamfir is known for playing an expanded version of normally 20-pipe nai, with 22, 25, 28 or even 30 pipes, to increase its range, and obtaining as many as eight overtones (additional to the fundamental tone) from each pipe by changing his embouchure. He is known as "The Master of the Pan Flute".

Zamfir came to the public eye when he was approached by Swiss ethnomusicologist Marcel Cellier, who extensively researched Romanian folk music in the 1960s. The composer Vladimir Cosma brought Zamfir with his pan flute to Western European countries for the first time in 1972 as the soloist in Cosma's original music for the movie Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire. This was very successful, and since then, he has performed as a soloist in movie soundtracks by composers Francis Lai, Ennio Morricone and many others. Largely through television commercials where he was billed as "Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute", he introduced the folk instrument to a modern audience and revived it from obscurity.

Pã = Cernnunos = Azazel

Cernnunos é Cronos/Saturno. Cernnunos é o Deus do Carvalho, Azevinho e dos bosques, representando assim a imortalidade. Ele saiu do abismo ou ainda sairá, através do (CERN), daí a clara referência. Pã está hipnotizando as massas, prometendo-lhes o CONHECIMENTO para serem imortais e por consequência DIVINOS. Não se enganem, está promessa é antiga.
