Classical / Orchestral / Lyricless Music anyone ?

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-Saƫns.

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.

Thanks Soul Searching,

The Planets were my initiation to Classical Music at school when the music Teacher insisted we listened to Mars the Bringer of War. Jupiter is very optimistic piece ,

For the more meditative experience in the Planets suite I opt for Neptune the Mystic.

The Beatles, throughout their long and storied career, performed precisely ONE instrumental (otherwise known as 'lyricless') song, by the name of 'Flying', from their Magical Mystery Tour album.

They did have some instrumentals on Yellow Submarine, but these were strictly produced as orchestral fill for certain scenes, and were not performed by the band itself.

I'm at work, so I can't link to it - but do look it up - I love it!

Speaking of Major groups going against type, some folk might remember a Rock Group called Black Sabbath who in their album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath completely and pleasantly surprised me with the third track from the album entitled Fluff.

While I am on the subject of Major groups and lyricless music, I feel it would be terribly remiss of me not to mention Pink Floyds Atom Heart Mother which at just under 24 Minutes long may be considered too long, but I think rewarding anyway.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru
