2. Beethoven's Ninth
The fourth movement is an epic story of good vs. evil. Good wins. Lot's of singing about the brotherhood of all humankind.

Great stuff.

Jessye again.

Hermann Hesse - Spring

In dusky graveyards
I dreamed long
of your trees and blue skies,
of your scent and your birdsong.

Now you lie uncovered
glittering and ornamented
bathed in light
like a jewel before me.

You recognize me,
you entice me gently,
A shudder runs through my body
your blissful presence.

side note, my favorite is the third one.It was the song in the soundtrack of The Year of Living Dangerously.
