Found another CD in my library called Aurora Borealis: Magic of
the Mysterious North (Ondine 3572).  Notes say this is "music which
reflects the mystery and enigmatic nature of the north...).  It includes
Rautavaara's Cantus Arcticus, concerto for Birds and Orchestra; Pingoud's
Extinguished Torches; Nordgren's The Thinker; Kantelinen's Adagio, etc.

Here are works I don't have  -- do you?  What do you think of them?

Karl-Birger Blomdahl: Aniara
Emmanuel Chabrier: L'etoile
Leos Janacek: The Excursions of Mr. Broucek
Constant Lambert: Horoscope
Joseph Strauss: Music of the Spheres

I guess one could include John Williams' music for the film Star Wars...
