Motters Bourgeois Overture

In classical music, a movement meaning "dawn" may be called an aubade, which is a musical composition about the morning, or by a descriptive title. Some well-known examples include: "Morning Mood" by Edvard Grieg: Part of the Peer Gynt Suite, this is one of the most recognizable orchestral depictions of a sunrise. It was originally written as incidental music for a scene in Henrik Ibsen's play where the main character wakes up in the Moroccan desert. "Daybreak" (Lever du jour) by Maurice Ravel: The opening of the second suite from his ballet Daphnis et Chloé is a famous example. It uses wordless chorus and evocative orchestration to paint a vivid picture of the sun rising.
