French composer Léo Delibes (1836 - 1891) was specialized in ballets, operas, and other works for the stage. His most notable works include ballets like 'Coppélia' and 'Sylvia' as well as the operas 'Le roi l'a dit' and 'Lakmé'. 'Sylvia' is notable for its mythological Arcadian setting, creative choreographies, expansive sets and, above all, its remarkable score. In 1880 Delibes made a suite from the ballet and 'Les Chasseresses' (the hunters) is the first movement of this suite.
