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.
