These three Prix de Rome competition cantatas, written in the summers of 1901-03, were intended to persuade the musical authorities that Ravel was the one young composer who deserved a three-year stay in the Eternal City, paid for by the French government. Unfortunately, the authorities didn't agree and, after a third prize with Myrrha in 1901, he was entirely passed over in the following two years. (Gramophone)
