I am sorry if I asked for something not allowed!
But maybe because I assumed this is what we are discussing it’s OK and some posted links to music already!

Apologies to all.

OMG… you just posted my absolute favourite!
the one piece I loved since I was a little kid, before even I started listening to classical music!

Bwethoven was a Genius and the 5th is his most popular work.
I have at least three different recordings on CD, Kleiber, Karajan and Bernstein.

There were three rauens sat on a tree,
They were as blacke as they might be.

The one of them said to his mate,
Where shall we our breakfast take?

Downe in yonder greene field,
There lies a Knight slain under his shield,

His hounds they lie downe at his feete,
So well they can their Master keepe,

His Hawkes they flie so eagerly,
There’s no fowle dare him come nie

Downe there comes a fallow Doe,
As great with yong as she might goe,

She lift up his bloudy head,
And kist his wounds that were so red,

She got him up upon her backe,
And carried him to earthen lake,

She buried him before the prime,
She was dead her self ere euen-song time.

God send euery gentleman,
Such haukes, such hounds, and such a Leman.

I love it. Casual opera performances.

All they need is T shirts with “I use EndeavourOS BTW”

Apparently, animals have the most profound conversations in trees, especially in groups of three:

Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree
Discussing things as they are said to be
Said one to other, now listen, you two
There’s a certain rumor that can’t be true

That man descended [from] our noble race
Why, the very idea is a big disgrace

Complete lyrics (more or less)

(The monkey speaks his mind)

Now, three monkeys sat in a coconut tree
Discussing things as they are said to be
Said one to other, now listen, you two
There’s a certain rumor that can’t be true

That man descended our noble race
Why, the very idea is a big disgrace
No monkey ever deserted his wife
Nor her baby and ruined her life

(The monkey speaks his mind)

And you’ve never known a mother monk
To leave her babies with others to bunk
And pass them on from one to another
'Til they scarcely knew who was their mother

(The monkey speaks his mind)

And here’s another thing you will never see
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
And let the coconuts go to waste
Forbidding all the monkeys to come and taste
Why, if I build a fence around this tree
Starvation would force you to steal from me

(The monkey speaks his mind)

Here’s another thing a monkey won’t do
Go out at night and get all in a stew
And pick up a gun… a club, a knife
And take another monkey’s life
Now, man descended, the worthless bum
But from our race, brothers, he did not come

(The monkey speaks his mind)
