I wanted to start a thread that invited people to contribute some of their very favourite and inspiring Lyricless Music.

Music without words provides for a greater freedom to explore the imaginary landscape created by the sound, free from the direction suggested by words.

It seems only fitting that as I have begun this thread, i should give you an idea of the sort of thing i am referring to.


This is the dreamy and exquisite Aquarium from Le Carnaval des Animaux' (The Carnival of the Animals) a musical suite of fourteen movements by the French Romantic composer Camille Saint-Saëns.

or the more modern and perhaps more powerful E.S. Posthumous with Arise.

So the only criteria for this thread is that it has to be lyricless.

I look forward very much to listening to your suggestions.
