The last movement of Strauss' Four Last Songs "Im Abendrot" especially in the glistening recording by Herbet Von Karajan and Gundala Janowitz.
Mahler's "Kindertotenlieder" (Songs on the death of children)
"I often think: they have only just gone out, soon they will be coming back home. The day is fine! Don't be dismayed! They have just gone for a long walk! Yes indeed, they have just gone out, and now they are making their way home. Don't be dismayed, the day is fine! They have simply made a journey to yonder heights. They have just gone out ahead of us, and will not be thinking of coming home. We go to meet them on yonder heights! In the sunlight! The day is fine on those uplands!"
