It was not as the concocter of that booming bit of cafe music that Ravel drew this world-wide homage, but as the composer of two operas, numerous songs and chamber music works, and of a half-dozen suites and tone poems (Daphnis et Chloe, La Valse, Rhapsodic Espagnole, Alborada del Gracioso, Ma Mere I 'Oye, Le Tombeau de Couperin, et al.) which have long ornamented the symphonic programs of three continents.
