  Longus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daphnis and Chloe resembles the modern novel more than its chief rival among Greek erotic romances, the Aethiopica of Heliodorus, which is remarkable mainly for the ingenious succession of incidents.
Daphnis and Chloe was the model of La Sireine of Honoré d'Urfé, the Diana enamorada of Montemayor, the Aminta of Tasso, and The Gentle Shepherd of Allan Ramsay.

 Longus, Daphnis and Chloe
Daphnis swore by Pan that he would always be with Chloe and Chloe swore the same for Daphnis before the Nymphs.
Chloe also made Daphnis swear by the herds that as long as she was faithful, he would be too.
Finally, the irony that Daphnis and Chloe ultimately discover that they biologically come from city-bred people and get a taste of city life for a short while until they decide that they want to live the rest of their lives in the rural scene of Lesbos where they were raised.

 Los Angeles Philharmonic Association - Piece Detail
Daphnis received a lukewarm reception at its premiere at the Théâtre du Châtelet on June 8, 1912.
The storyline of the ballet is based on the ancient Greek writer Longus' pastoral tale of the passion that grows between Daphnis and Chloe, two foundlings raised by shepherds and goatherds on the island of Lesbos.
Daphnis teaches Chloe to play the pan-pipes; the two fall in love; Chloe is abducted by pirates; Daphnis prays to the god Pan for assistance.

 Daphnis et Chloë
Daphnis et Chloé was written to a commission from Serge de Diaghilev which Ravel received probably in 1909.
Daphnis et Chloé received only two performances in that season, and its initial impact was muted, at least in comparison with Stravinsky's L'Oiseau de feu and Petrouchka, unveiled in the previous two seasons of the Ballets Russes.
Daphnis et Chloé has perhaps had its greatest success in concerts and recordings, in which its orchestral virtuosity and organic structure can be most fully explored.

 Daphnis et Chloé
Daphnis et Chloé, generally regarded as Ravel's masterpiece, is one of the numerous important scores that owe their existence to the famous ballet impresario Serge Diaghilev, who was just beginning to commission new works for his Paris-based troupe in 1909.
Chloe is abducted by priates, but is rescued by the great god Pan, and restored to Daphnis amid general rejoicing.
Then Daphnis and his rival Dorcon perform their respective solos, and Lyceion enters and dances seductively; Daphnis at first mistakes her for Chloe and responds with confusion.

 Marc Chagall - Daphnis & Chloe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Chagall was delighted with the tale, which analyzed the simple, mutual passion of two abandoned children who are raised by a shepherd.
Chagall generally used 25-30 individual stones per print in the Daphnis and Chloé suite creating the density and layering of color, which is so unique and rich.
Chagall later created sets for Daphnis & Chloé for the Paris Opéra where in 1964 he painted stunning images on the inside of the dome.

Longus's ancient novel, "Daphnis and Chloe" tells the absolutely charming story of a boy (Daphnis) and a girl (Chloe), left to die by exposure in the Greek countryside.
Both Daphnis and Chloe are extremely innocent in their affections throughout the novel, experimenting with their feelings and exposing the amusing limits of their little knowledge.

 Australia Dancing - Daphnis and Chloe (1980 - )
In creating Daphnis and Chloe Murphy turned for inspiration to the ancient Greek story by Longus as had Fokine in his version made for Diaghilev in 1912.
'Chloe watched him, surprised to find him beautiful, and having never thought him beautiful before she imagined that it was the water in the cave that had conferred beauty upon him...
By restoring the scene where Daphnis bathes, Murphy changed what seemed in the Fokine version to be a relatively innocuous story about lost love regained into one that addressed the idea of sexual awakening, restoring in fact the crucial element of the Longus story.

 Harvard University Press: Daphnis and Chloe. Love Romances and Poetical Fragments. Fragments of the Ninus Romance
Longus seems to have been a pagan sophist who lived about AD 200; he is known to us only by his novel Daphnis and Chloe.
This is the bucolic story of two foundlings, brought up by goatkeepers and shepherds on the island of Lesbos, who gradually fall in love.
Notable among ancient romances for its perceptive characterizations, Daphnis and Chloe traces the development of the protagonists' love for each other from childlike innocence to full sexual maturity, the successive stages marked by adventures.

Rather than picking any old Ravel piece to work on, Tomita's choices of material are mostly quite shrewd, geared toward his strengths.
The second suite from Daphnis et Chloé seems absolutely made-to-order for the Tomita treatment, for it unfolds in long, sustained crescendos and diminuendos where there is no need to erase any bar lines.
All Tomita has to do is fill in the electronic colors -- which he does with his customary bag of gorgeous, flowing, pitch-bending tricks, producing one of his most faithful transcriptions without giving up his personal stamp.

Ravel wrote two operas, the first, described as a comédie-musicale, L'heure espagnole (The Spanish Clock) and the second, with a libretto by Colette, the imaginative L'enfant et les sortilèges (The Child and the Enchantments), in which the naughty child is punished when furniture and animals assume personalities of their own.
Ravel wrote his ballet Daphnis et Chloé in response to a commission from the Russian impresario Dyagilev.
The work, described as a symphonie choréographique is based on the Hellenistic pastoral novel of Longus.
