One musical work with this title contains the movement "The Three Blind Sisters," which represents the singing of a ballad of that name. The second movement of another work with this title features an oboe melody accompanied by the strings, which represent a spinning wheel. That work with this title, along with Shylock, comprises the music for the "Emeralds" section of Balanchine's ballet Jewels. The G-minor third movement of that work is an orchestration of its composer's Sicilienne, op. 78, which was initially intended for his incidental music to Le bourgeois gentilhomme. The (*) libretto of the most famous work of this title was unusual in its extreme faithfulness to an existing prose play. That work concerns a love triangle between Prince Golaud and the two title characters and is its composer's only opera. For 10 points, give this shared title of works composed by Sibelius, Fauré, Schoenberg, and Debussy, all inspired by a Symbolist play about doomed lovers by Maurice Maeterlinck.
