This is a very old story from Persia. It tells of a prince who is called upon to face a lion and who decides to put off the meeting till he has seen something of the world. At least, that is the best excuse he can offer at the time. He discovers however that there are lions abroad as well as at home. In fact he meets them at every turn, and runs away so many times that he begins to run out of good excuses.
He learns that no one can go on and on just running away. So he turns to give fight and lives to laugh most triumphantly. And so will you when you hear what happened when Prince Azgid of Persia turned to face his lions.

Rjvel explained that his aim in writing Uaphnis and Chloe was ' to compose a vast musical fresco.' Finely wrought as it is, fresh, sparkling, and tender, the work ravishes the senses and seems to conjure up the youth of the world. Founded on the Greek Pastoral by Longus, which tells of the love of Daphnis and Chloe, a young shepherd and shepherdess, it was produced as a ballet by Diaghilev in Paris in 1912. The music to be heard tonight is taken from the third and last scene. Chloe, rescued from the pirates by Pan, comes to the grove consecrated to the nymphs and finds Daphnis prostrate with grief at her loss. Overjoyed at seeing each other again, they embrace, and learn from Lammon, an old shepherd, that Pan has intervened and saved Chloe in memory of his love for the nymph Syrinx. In their gratitude the lovers enact in mime Pan's wooing of Syrinx, and the ballet ends with a general dance of rejoicing. The ' Symphonic Fragments ' are continuous, though they fall easily into three parts: Daybreak, Pantomime, and General Dance.
