written by John Williams before he was super famous, the main theme from the 1970 TV movie Jane Eyre starring George C. Scott and Susanna York, one of the greatest TV movies ever made. The theme is breathtaking with a full orchestra but I think this rendition with classical guitar, violin and recorder that occurs later in the film has a lot of charm.
