Oh, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound, That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour.

Jean Sibelius - Karelia suite for orchestra Op.11 (1893)
Three movements:
Intermezzo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtIw5AkUEsE&feature=related - a jaunty Allegro march-like theme, depicting a procession, the orchestra brilliantly portraying the atmosphere of marching contingents.
Ballade
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh7dXPfEtXw&feature=related - "sung" by a bard (on cor anglais), reflecting the mood of a fifteenth-century Swedish king, Karl Knutsson, reminiscing in his castle whilst being entertained by a minstrel.
Alla Marcia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIois3Gaegk - an exhilarating march, originally incidental to a tableau depicting a castle siege.

P P Arnold - "Angel Of The Morning"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Appdqia-9Jo&feature=relatedThere'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
It won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
Well, it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night I
won't be blinded by the light
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me
I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the day
Of the years, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me
Oh baby, I love you baby, oh baby
