I do not mean to sound stupid, but what are the names of all the fairies [not the metals] in Sleeping Beauty? What gifts does each fairy give Aurora? What are the colors of each fairy? Where can I listen to the music for each variation? What fairy goes with what music? I know that those questions are specific and I certain factors vary with the ballet company performing it, but I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.

The colors for the fairies will vary from designer to designer, but the canary fairy will usually be yellow and the lilac fairy will be mauve.
