Ravel's composition, "Daphne et Chloe," is one of the most beautiful pieces that I've ever heard.
It's construction is a three scened ballet fit within one act. Although originally it was suppose to be a ballet with a musical score, the music has long outlived the ballet as the piece is usually performed solely as an orchestral score.
The piece's reference to nature, "sunrise," brings a new perspective the sounds of nature that people like Messiaen and Stravinsky did.
