Behold the power of Google...
When I was a not so wee 4th-grader, I went to a kids concert put on by the Longview Symphony. The emotion of one particular piece has stuck with me all these years. Not having the essay that I wrote afterward on hand to find the name of song, I googled it because I remebered it was about a princess. (The essay was for a contest that I took first place in...got $25 and a free concert ticket :-)
Lo an behold, I discovered the orchestral piece by Maurice Ravel, "Pavan for a Dead Princess" I and fairly positive this is the piece...all I could ever remember about the name was princess and the title started with a P and was a rather short word...but not too foreign sounding. I just listened to a clip and it sounds like something I would like (well, I do like).
Google. It's crazy fun.
