Question
Is there a classical piece titled something like
"Coming of Man"
"Rise of Man"
"Enlightenment of Man"

thanks

Answer
i don't know of such a piece, and google is no help, so it is unlikely that these are titles of famous or even modestly known works.

However, Richard Strass's "Thus Spake Zarathustra" deals with Nietzsche's work on the enlightenment of man, and Mahler's Third Symphony is said by some to embrace the theme of the rise of man.

Could you be thinking of one of those two works?
