From the famous sunrise to the triumph of love and rescue, this suite is considered one of the crowning achievements of French music. Written by Longus in the 2nd or 3rd century, CE, and considered the first pastoral prose romance, Daphnis et Chloe tells the story of two foundlings who are brought up by shepherds and who fall in love at an early age.
