What are the prettiest pieces of music writtn for flute?

Preferably classical but they can be from movie scores too. Either orchestral with flute solos (such as a solo within a symphony) or concertos, or even simply flute solos.

Debussy - Afternoon of a Faun - the flute solo is considered the most beautiful flute passage ever composed

C.T. Griffes - Poeme - A piece for virtuoso flute that impressionistic. Sensitive, graceful and emotional

Mozart - Concerto for flute, harp and orchestra - one of the most popular flute pieces ever composed. An audience favorite every where. First composition to feature harp.

Bach - 2nd movement of the 5th Brandenburg Concerto - a trio between flute, violin and continuo. The flute line is absolutely graceful, serene and beauty. Ethereal and glorious

Mozart - Flute Concerto - lush, pure beauty and grace

Pachelbel's Canon (Canon in D) or Angel Eyes..

angel eyes is a jim brickman piano piece, but if you could find flute music for it i imagine it would be incredibly beautiful. good luck :)
You can consider Gluck's Dance of the blessed spirit and Largo from Concerto for flute and strings by J.S. Bach. Both are calming and relaxing.

Besides that, Badinerie from Orchestral Suite No.2(J.S. Bach), Gavotte by Francois-Joseph Gossec and Dance of the reed flutes by Tchaikovsky are fast and catchy. It makes the flute sound so lively and gay.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Vivaldi "Bullfinch" concerto.

It gets its name from the bird imitation in the first movement.

If I recall correctly, the slow movement is the celebrated Vivaldi Pastorale.

A few of my favorite flute solos are:

--Siciliano from Faure's Pelleas et Melisande.

--prelude to Act III from Carmen

--slow movement from the Tschaikovsky piano concerto
-Erik Satie's Trois (3) Gymnop茅dies!
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
