Please name some french ballet which's music is slow and heart warming?

Though ballet and music academies first originated in the French courts and were nurtured primarily in France until very recently (the past two centuries), ballet in Europe matured through the combined efforts of masters of many different European nations: France, Italy, Denmark, and England, in particular. Thus it is difficult to label any ballet distinctly French based upon the French upbringings of its choreographer or even its movement style, as the French "style" has been much forgotten by teachers in favor of today's codified Italian Cecchetti, Russian Vaganova, and British RAD techniques. However, several ballets which premiered at the Paris Opera in the early and mid-19th century are considered French in origin despite, for example, having been choreographed by Italian-born ballet masters.





The musical score of "La Fille Mal Gardee" (considered the oldest original surviving ballet) is today credited to the French Ferdinand Herold, who composed for the 1828 revival of the ballet (it premiered in 1789). The famous and revered Italian Marie Taglioni starred in "La Sylphide," which premiered at the Paris Opera and is today in the repertories of the Royal Danish Ballet and American Ballet Theater, but the original score received poor reviews and is no longer even used by the Royal Danish Ballet.





I recommend taking a listen to the score for the Romantic ballet "Giselle," composed by Frenchman Adolphe Adam (this ballet also premiered at the Paris Opera). Though you'll find lighthearted melodies in the First Act shift to sad and slow ones (perhaps not necessarily "heart-warming") in the second, the music of "Giselle" is widely beloved by ballet students and enthusiasts. The ballet "Swan Lake," choreographed in Russia by French ballet master Marius Petipa, is considered reflective of the French movement style, but its score was written by the Russian-born Tchaikovsky.

These are ballet scores, or from dance epsisodes in opera. They're certainly heart-warming and slow. I think you'll like them.





Faure: Pelleas et Melisande


Debussy: L'Apres-midi d'un faune





For heart-warming and slow, you might try





Rachmaninov: 2nd symphony, Slow movement


Barber: Adagio for strings





Enjoy!
