Ravel's Mother Goose was composed in 1908 as a suite of five piano duets for the children of his friends, the Godebski's. They are based on the well-known story first published in 1697. In 1911 Ravel arranged them in a longer format for a ballet orchestra. The music has a magical childlike quality to it of innocence and simplicity.

The titles of the five movement suite are:

1. Pavane of the Sleeping Beauty in the forest

2. Little Tom Thumb

3. Laideronnette, Empress of the Pagodas

4. Conversation between Beauty and the Beast

5. The Enchanted Garden
