The ballet, a masterpiece of Impressionist orchestration, is now followed by new Urtext editions of the well-known Daphnis Suites, both edited by Ravel expert Jean-Francois Monnard. Ravel extracted two suites, two Fragements Symphoniques: the work now known as the First Suite was published before the first performance of the ballet. It served as a test for the composer, who wanted to present the just orchestrated pages in concert. Suite No. 1 was premiered in April 1911, but its reception was disastrous. It was not until three years later that Suite No. 2 was performed. It takes up the third and last part of the ballet unchanged. It is largely thanks to this suite, with its richness of color in the famous Lever du jour, that the work is known.The large format of the conducting score as well as the orchestral parts allow good readability and support the clarity and transparency of the modern notation. The already published piano reduction EB 9422 can also be used for the suites due to the double bar count and information about the layout of the suites.

Ravel's ballet, Daphnis and Chloé, was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev and premiered with the Ballets Russes in Paris in 1912. The ballet is now rarely performed, but its Suite No. 2 remains popular. It consists of three movements, Lever du jour, Pantomime and Danse générale, that are played without interruption. Tohru Takahashi makes no compromises in his transcription, which calls for at least 60 musicians and an optional mixed chorus!De Suite Nr. 2 uit Daphnis and Chloe bevat de muziek uit het derde deel van het ballet en bestaat uit de delen Lever du jour, Pantomime en Danse générale. Zonder onderbreking worden deze na elkaar gespeeld.In zijn nieuwe transcriptie voor blaasorkest deed Tohru Takahashi geen enkele concessie. Om het werk precies volgens de partituur uit te voeren, hebt u een orkestbezetting van zestig of meer muzikanten nodig. Een gemengd kooris ook wenselijk, maar dankzij de stichnoten (cue notes) is het werk ook zonder koor uit te voeren.Die Suite Nr. 2 aus Daphnis and Chloe enthält die Musik aus dem dritten Teil des Balletts und besteht aus den drei Sätzen Lever du jour, Pantomime und Danse générale, die ohne Unterbrechung nacheinander gespielt werden. In seiner neuen Blasorchester-Transkription ging Tohru Takahashi keinerlei Kompromisse ein. Um das Werk gemä� der Partitur aufzuführen, ist eine Orchesterstärke von 60 oder mehr Musikern, sowie ein gemischter Chor erforderlich; dank der Stichnoten ist es auch ohne Chor spielbar.La Suite n°2 correspond au troisième tableau du ballet Daphnis et Chloé. Lever du jour, Pantomime et Danse générale sont interprétés sans interruption. Cette nouvelle transcription pour orchestre d'harmonie ne fait aucun compromis. Non seulement il vous faudra réunir un ensemble de 60 musiciens ou plus afin de respecter la partition, mais un choeur mixte est également essentiel. Cependant, si les notes secondaires (ou petites notes) sont jouées par les musiciens, le choeur est alors ad libitum.La Suite Nr. 2 da Daphnis and Chloe contiene la musica della terza parte del balletto. Essa è composta da tre movimenti: Lever du jour, Pantomine e Danse générale, eseguite senza interruzione. Nella sua nuova trascrizione per banda, TohruTakahashi non è sceso a compromessi: per eseguire il brano sono necessari 60 o più musicisti come anche un coro misto. Se però le note secondarie (o piccole te), sono eseguite dai musicisti, il coro diventa ad libitum.

Daphnis et Chloe is certainly not only one of Ravel's best works, but also one of French music's most beautiful creations, thus, Stravinsky's view of this ballet in his memoirs, published in 1935. Composing the work, commissioned by the Ballets Russes, turned out to be problematic, involving linguistic differences and remuneration disagreements that dragged on among the choreographer, impresario, and composer. Too few rehearsals, a difficult choreography, tricky 5/4-meter, and other oddities in the music probably led, ultimately, to a subdued reception of the work at its Paris premiere in 1912. Only a later production with costumes and set by Chagall significantly contributed to the ballet's success. Today the work is a monument to Impressionist orchestration, incorporating the narration within the sound material. Each instrument is treated in the most effective way possible. Remarkable are the strings' extreme divisi, their harmonics' glissandi, and other enigmatic effects, such as utilizing a wordless chorus. Individual performances without choir likely go back to a makeshift arrangement that Ravel produced to facilitate performance at less prominent venues. The appendix to the Urtext edition includes this alternative version. The Ravel specialist Jean-Francois Monnard has also edited this ballet with detailed attention to the customary Urtext standard. The preface and critical report include numerous references to both genesis and performance history as well as interpretation, correcting also previously handed-down errors. The large format of the conductor's score and orchestral parts are easy to read and support the clarity and transparency of the modern notation without any loss to the magic of Ravel's music. Stay tuned for the publication of the corresponding suites in the upcoming years.
