No list is complete without the following:

A day may be a destiny; for life
Lives in but little—but that little teems
With some one chance, the balance of all time:
A look—a word—and we are wholly changed.

Great collection - often reminding my of my own cd wall  ;) BTW, did you also search for "primavera"? I would at least add some Respighi to this list:

Ottorino Respighi, La Primavera (1922) Lyric poem for soli, chorus and orchestra
Ottorino Respighi, La Primavera, from: Trittico botticelliano (1927)

The first (only one recording available, AFAIK) was recently re-issued by Naxos (formerly on Marco Polo):

                   

You put me to shame, Johan :) I should, of course, have searched through my own collection using the equivalent words from other languages.

Anybody mentioned this series, of which the disc above is one?

In 1722 Christoph Graupner published 12 harpsichord suites with the very Baroque title "Fruit basket for each month, pieces for harpsichord." The collection presented on this recording by the amazingly talented harpsichordist Genevieve Soly, are those pieces that extend from April through to July.
