- Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloé'" a choreographic symphony, is widely considered to be one of the composer's masterpieces and a pinnacle of twentieth century orchestral music. Premiered in 1912, it had received an unenthusiastic reception but has gone on to be regarded as a masterpiece in orchestration and is now considered to be his magnum opus. This video gives a brief analysis of how Ravel constructed the first movement of Part III, 'Lever du jour'.
2:30 - 3:10 is just simply some of the best music ever written

Ravel was an alien, goddamn his music is amazing
he was just french
Such a deeply underrated piece, more people should know about Daphnis et Chloe
@@jackaguirre8576 its a very well known and critical acclaimed work (for the 20th century) tbf
"Daphins et Chloé" is an absolute masterpiece.
The moment you hear it for the first time, you regret not having heard it before
And hearing it for the second time regret that is not the first time you hearing that
You can hear 'all' the Hollywood film scores to come wrapped up incipient in this masterpiece.
I heard this for the first time when I was seven years old in our little trailer home in Granville, Illinois. My mom had a CD set of classical music excerpts that were featured in various movies, and this was one of them. I began to play it over and over on my little boombox. It shocked me with its beauty and the way it seemed to open up a whole other world. At some point I asked for the entire ballet score at Barnes and Noble as a birthday present and never looked back-a lifelong love of orchestral music was born.
This truly is Ravel at his best. The orchestration is absolutely immaculate and colorful. A nightmare for woodwinds must I say. By far one of my favorite pieces by Ravel. Which recording or orchestra is this? It is so good and clean, I'd really like to know! Loved the analysis and commentary too!
The recording is by the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra Chorus. It's the highest quality recording I could find with the choir included. "Lever du Jour" is a masterclass in orchestration, even if it's nightmare for winds 😂 Thank you so much for watching!
I can second this. The name "Daphnis and Chloe" brings ptsd to woodwind musicians, and clarinetists in particular.
@@joshua_warner I think Boulez version with Berliner Philharmoniker is even clearer in texture than Dutoit's. Even though the recording is from the 70s its quality rivals current standards. And the fortissimos are to jump back a little
Ravel had such a prodigiously gorgeous imagination 😍😍
This has long been my favorite piece of Ravel’s. I wish I could hear it again for the first time.
Aaron Copland says somewhere that if music were judged only on the sheer beauty and texture of sound (leaving out rhythm and structure and development), Ravel would be the greatest of all composers.
C'est pour moi l'un des plus hauts sommets d'accomplissement. Merci infiniment pour le partage. ❤
I really love this piece. It is the best of Ravel❤
So thankful that this channel exposes me to awesome pieces like this!!
Incredible. Lovely to see the whole score! Great job, keep em coming
Clean and insightful edits. Thanks for sharing this with us 🥰
ravel a genius of orchestration
I staged my first kiss ever on this
Can the woodwinds play so many notes for such a long time, or is Ravel using some trick, like one of the player plays and then they switch?
They must.
Yes, one player plays one measure, another player plays the next, etc.
not a woodwibds player but it seems near unplayable/unsustainable
@@nandovancreijwoodwinds are used to this kind of writing in 20th century orchestral music.
@@bobcochran2890would not want to be a woodwinds player in the 20th century.
this is a pretty piece, but a nightmare to play 🥲
I always thought the line at 4:00 sounded like a la valse quote
what is aml3? great video by the way!
Am13 not Aml3. Font just looks a little strange. Thanks for watching!
Oh. My. God. 🥲
Ive listened to some Ravel before (Miroirs, Gdln, Intr-Allegro) but this... just wow.
at leasts its not bolero
haha, amazing but overrated and boring
@samaritan29 Agreed. I like Boléro, but it's so overrated and repetitive. I honestly don't get why so many people jump to that piece over something as out-of-this-world gorgeous as Daybreak from Daphnis et Chloé
Bolero was written while his brain was dying
@jaegonekim all of our brains are slowly dying anyway
>Bolero isn't the greatest piece ever written
Opinion discarded.
