In 1907 Schmitt composed music to accompany a 'mimodrame' danced by Loie Fuller. His score is bursting with colour, energy and voluptuousness - and also with oriental influences stemming from his travels to Morocco and Constantinople, where he discovered the howling dervishes. The final scene features the heart-rending 'Chant d'Aica', an oriental melody sung by a soprano.
