Mother Goose Suite

The Mother Goose Suite is a collection of orchestral pieces composed by Maurice Ravel in 1910. It is inspired by traditional nursery rhymes and fairy tales, designed to evoke a sense of childhood wonder. Originally composed for piano, it was later orchestrated for a larger ensemble. The suite consists of five movements, each reflecting a different story or character, such as "Sleeping Beauty" and "Tom Thumb." Ravel's use of rich harmonies and imaginative melodies creates a whimsical atmosphere, appealing to both children and adults, and showcasing his talent for depicting narratives through music.
