Maurice Ravel's "Bolero" is one of my favorite composition and i like it so much specially when running.I heard this piece for the first time in 2008 in a rainy day ,from that time im obsessed with this one-movement orchestral piece,simply awesome.Initial phases heard like our school marchpast beats , but beneath there is a wonderful soft melody flowing. The flutes,the violin and Saxophone all mixed in harmony.
Maurice Ravel(1875-1937) was a French composer and this orchestral piece was his most famous work.He had composed many other pieces specially melodies.He was a contemporary and rival to another great composer Debussy.He wrote this piece for his dance friend, i think his friend was a 'bolero' dancer,a Spanish dance.Through out this piece the same theme is repeating 18 times.Check the finishing part, how slowly it builds up.
An enduring music which makes us feel humble.Enjoy this wonderful music.
