Wikipedia description:
Ma mère l'Oye (English: Mother Goose) is a suite by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), based on Charles Perrault's tales Sleeping Beauty and Tom Thumb, which are drawn from Mother Goose Tales (1697), as well as on Madame Leprince de Beaumont's Beauty and the Beast (1757), and Madame d'Aulnoy's The Green Serpent (1697). There are three main versions of this suite: the first—the work's original form—which was written for piano four-hands; the second, following in the tradition of Ravel's orchestrations, is a score for symphony orchestra (1911); and the last—a more expanded version—is an adaptation for ballet, with choreography by Jane Hugard (1912).
