It's so full of sweet melancholy. That last link is of a well-loved Swedish tenor singing in French <i>The Song of India</i> from the opera <i>Sadko</i>. It's by the same composer who wrote Scheherezade. In this part of the story, a newly rich Sadko asks three strangers what lands to seek and so a Hindu sings of India: "And still the snowy Himalayas rise In ancient majesty before our eyes, Beyond the plains, above the pines, While through the ever, never changing land As silently as any native band That moves at night, the Ganges Shines... Then I hear the song that only India can sing, Softer than the plumage on a black raven's wing; High upon a minaret I stand Upon an old enchanted land, There's the Maharajah's caravan, Unfolding like a painted fan, How small the little race of Man!" <b>Happy Independence Day!</b></p> Thanks for posting this music.
